Connor Lee Lindvall...

This weekend we traveled over to Columbus, OH to meet our newest nephew, Connor Lee Lindvall, who was born on August 16.  He is such a sweet, quiet little guy.  It will be interesting to see how he fares among the noisy, dramatic ladies.

It was great to all be together, but I think we quickly learned how crazy family gatherings will be from now on.  Neither toddler napped on Saturday, which proved to be exhausting for all...especially the adults.  Elli and Kens enjoyed running around together outside, while the babes enjoyed quiet naps indoors.

Here are pictures from our weekend.



Sweet Connor...moments before he let me know how much he loves his auntie...by peeing on me.

The littlest cousins...holding hands!

Aves is just 10 weeks and a few days older than Connor.

"Who wants some candy??"
Yes, we bribed them to sit and smile for us.

A good reminder not to leave the men in charge of the toddlers.  Both girls ended up naked running around the neighborhood.

I wish we could report that this trip over to Ohio was much smoother and easier than the last....not the case.  We discovered an hour into the trip over Saturday morning that Avery was in desperate need of a diaper and clothes change.  Biggest. blowout. EVER.  I won't go into it, but let's just say I've never seen anything like it.  The trip home was filled with lots of tears...from all of us (just kidding, but it was close).  Kensley was out of her mind she was so tired.  She finally fell asleep with about 45 minutes left in the trip and woke up again 15 minutes from home and proceeded to scream the rest of the way.  Needless to say, she experienced her first timeout immediately upon arrival at home.  Early bedtimes for all and hoping for Aves to give us a nice long stretch of sleep tonight.
