Get-togethers

In March we went to visit my friend, Jen and her fiance' Ryan. We blazed a trail and found a little waterfall. Lydia slept in daddy's arms most of the hike all bundled up in her snowsuit, but woke up for the photo.

We gathered with Mark's former coworkers who are dear friends. Avery is just 3 weeks younger than Lydia.


Doug was showing us how he used to hold his twin daughters (who are now in kindergarden!)

I just love it when babies hold hands.

The same weekend, my dad's side of the family visited for a belated baptism party (the snow prevented them from travelling in February). We had a blast!

Lydia couldn't get enough of the "baby" on the screen of her great-aunt Sarah's digital camera.


Great-grandma, Nomi.


And Great-grandpa, Pap.


Lovin' all the attention she's getting from her cousins once-removed. What a fun bunch of girls!
