Vacation!

Three weeks after we moved in to our new home in Fort Wayne, we set off on vacation to visit our family in WI and MN. We haven't taken any of the pictures off our camera yet, but here are a few that Mom Chase sent us by email. We had 6 of the 9 cousins together at the Como Zoo yesterday. It was just wonderful to see how they all interacted together, playing and having fun. I'm not sure I saw too many of the animals, I just wanted to watch all the kiddos together. In fact, I think they all enjoyed our little picnic lunch more than the animals. Norah really enjoyed having some cousins to play Ring Around the Rosie with her, and Maggie and Delaney were sweet together too. All 9 cousins will be here together on Sunday, and in January Dan and Marsha's baby GIRL will join the mix. Go TEAM PINK! They just found that out yesterday and called to tell us while we were at the zoo. :) More pictures to follow of the rest of our adventures when we get home and get our pictures on the computer.

Oldest to Youngest: Colin, Andrew, Norah, Matthew, Delaney, and Maggie

Delaney and Maggie were interested in each other, kind of. Delaney liked pulling Maggie's hair and Maggie was trying to eat the butterflies off Delaney's shirt... when she wasn't trying to eat the fuzz she kept pulling out of the blanket anyway.

Norah was in her element here, with a baby on each side of her. Delaney was quite interested in the patterns on Norah's shirt and Norah found that just hilarious!
