Meeting Cousin Carter

The cousins - Sam (in the burito look), Carter and Casey

Right after this - Casey says "I done now". So honest.

Well, we have finally met all our family members! Our nephew Carter came over to see us this week, along with his parents, Jeff's brother Doug and his wife Libby. He is an awesome little guy! He is almost 5 months old and has a sweet easy going way about him. He is totally adorable and a complete mix of his parents. He has a great smile and liked watching Casey run around. At this point, he is twice Sam's age but once everyone is mobile the age difference won't matter one bit.
It's funny to think that there was a time when it seemed the family name might not make it, now here are all these boys who will do the family name proud.

Brothers and their boys

We went to the zoo twice, ate take out and only a few times had all 3 boys crying at once. Like when my sister and her family visited, we wondered what we used to do when we got together. It hardly matters, because this is what we are going to be doing for many years to come :)
