Visit with the Great Grandparents and cousins

Last weekend the four of us went to visit my family in western Mass. We stayed with my grandmother. Saturday evening we went to spend some time with my other grandmother and grandfather. Grandma made shephard's pie which is one of my favorites! My aunt and two cousins came over too. It was a tight squeeze in their tiny apartment but Jackson was showing off his smile to everyone and Madison showed off her crawling skills. Then they both fell asleep while being held.

After that we went back to Grandma's and watched the red sox game. Unfortunately we all fell asleep and missed the end. Also unfortunately in the morning we found out they lost.

Sleep wasn't great that night. M&J took turns waking up crying all night long. Luckily it just took a binky to fix but made for a very tired mommy the next day.

Sunday Chris went golfing with cousin Mike while Grandma, M, and J and I went to cousin Alissa's house. Her son Tyler is 9 and other son Jacob is 3. Cousin Jen was also there with her 2 and a half year old son Hunter. They both got to meet M&J for the first time!

We all had fun playing on the floor with baby toys. Although Hunter and Jacob fought over all the toys. The cutest thing was when Hunter was hiding behind a wall and kept peeking out. Grandma thought he was playing a game with her. After a while Jen went to see what he was doing. He was sneaking sucks of Jackson's binky! It was the cutest thing ever!

This picture cracks me up...two babies that do not want their picture taken!


Madison, Hunter, Tyler, and Jackson
Jacob refused to be in the picture and Hunter refused to be happy.
Madison and Hunter are the only red heads in the family!


Hunter was fascinated with Madison...he was just staring at her.

Tyler was SO great with the babies and so helpful. He helped me make bottles, he rinsed toys off that Jackson spit up on, he got new toys for them when they were bored with the ones they had. I think he enjoyed himself. Too bad we don't live closer!


Jackson and cousin Mike have the same head!
