Baby Love

We finally got to spend some time with our new cousins Conor and Ella.  Since they have been born someone in our family has been sniffling, sneezing, coughing or wheezing on a rotating basis so we didn't get to see the twins for way too long.  They are so adorable and it's amazing how much Ella looks like a little girl and Conor is clearly a boy.  It will be such fun to watch them grow up together.

I'm not sure the kids were prepared for how little they would be but they sure did like them.  McKenzie was desperate to be looking at one of them at all times and loved to hold their tiny hands.  Ben liked to look at them for a little bit and give them a tickle but then was insistent that everyone put the babies away because he wanted to play with all the loud toys.

McKenzie is very excited that Aunt Jennifer let her hold Conor.  Ben even got a turn to hold him.

Grandma Z couldn't be happier - holding both babies at once!


It was great to see the babies and remember how small and sleepy babies are.  It was especially evident how easy babies can be, minus the no sleep part, when we were trying to herd our two loud, rowdy kids back in the car.
