Cousins! Part I

Warning: There are lots of pictures coming in the next two posts. When you have 4 adorable kids together, you can't help but take lots of pictures. :) With 3 of the 4 very active, however, many end up looking like this:

This past weekend we went up to Kjerstin, Nick and Bridget's in Baltimore. Chris, Kate, Lana and brand new baby Drew drove down from Lancaster to meet us there. This was the first time we got to meet baby Drew and he is just the sweetest little guy! He was pretty outnumbered so maybe it is good that he's still too little to realize it. :)
I love all these father/son pictures. :)

Here's Evie with her newest cousin! Doesn't he make Evelyn look big?

Evie liked Alana's shoe and Lana was quite patient with her :)
Kate brought matching outfits for all the girls so they of course had to quickly change into them when we arrived. :) Bridget and Lana were very thoughtful of Evie too and helped her find some good baby toys. :)

Lana also liked to try to hold Evie and give her hugs. Sometimes it was more successful than others.
Bridget and Lana thought it would be a good idea if all the girls played in the pack-n-play. :)
It was kind of a small space so it didn't last too long. :)

Lana as the oldest and most decisive is kind of the of the ring leader. Whatever she did Bridget and Evie thought it was quite cool. :) Evie felt like quite the big girl hanging out with Lana and Bridget.
We had a nice picnic lunch down at Fells Point. Bridget and Lana loved the pier the best and ran from side to side to see the ducks on one side and the boats on the other.

Evie was very interested in what they were doing...

I know it won't be long until she's running with them!
Story time with UnChis/Daddy: (Drew didn't last too long - he was getting a little squished)
More baby Drew...

Saturday night Bridget and Lana had a sleepover in Kjerstin and Nick's room. :) Sunday morning as we were packing upthey discovered the air mattress. They thought it was the greatest thing ever, especially when Nathan would bounce them on it.

Evie and Nathan were the favorites of the weekend (and UnChis and Baby Dreeewwwww). Lana referred to Nathan as "the nice man" before she remembered his name. :) It was fun to spend more time with Alana (and Bridget) without competition from the aunts and Grandpa. ;) By the end of the weekend they were both saying "Nanan", "Nen" (Jen), and "Evie/Ebie". :)

Thanks, Kjerstin, Nick and Bridget for letting us come and stay with you in your new apartment! We loved spending time with everyone!!

(Park pictures from Nathan's iphone will be coming in a bit :))
