Visits from family

Mike's brothers John and Joe both came down to visit the babies recently. John stopped by the first weekend we were home, as he was moving from Minneapolis to Washington DC. We're sorry to see him move so far away, but we were glad he could stop by and see his new nieces on the way.

Then Joe and Lisa and their boys Henry and Owen came down this past weekend to visit. Caroline was so excited to see and play with her cousins! Henry seemed quite enamored with the twins, but Owen mostly just ran around like a maniac and didn't notice them much at all. They came over for dinner on Sunday, and the kids had fun rolling down the hill on our front lawn. This was Caroline's first experience at this silly activity, and she could not get enough! I'm afraid she's going to want to do it every day... Then Monday they all went to the zoo together (I passed, staying home with the twins instead!)
