Barlow Visit!

-
Our "adopted" niece and nephews came to see us over New Year's. They stayed for nearly a week before they had to head back to Nevada. It was delightful to have enough babies for everyone to hold while they were here!

When Ellie has baby number five this summer,
she will be the mother of five children, four and under!



Dear little Thaddaeus (1)


Sam takes Adam (4) for a walk!


Mary helps Carolanne (2) make chocolate chip cookies


Noah stole the babies whenever he could! (Above: Thad)


Liz and Carolanne


Isaiah David Phillip was so proud of his little namesake - Isaiah David (7 mos)


Ellie with her little Isaiah


Adam has started the violin. It was so fun to watch him play!


Carolanne is such a little lady. She speaks in this sweet little soft voice and likes to call people "honey" and wear princess dresses. Poor thing has three brothers - we're hoping that number five (due in July) is a sister for Carolanne!


A hayride with the babies, the neighbors, and Sarah and Emily B.

Bedtime was a circus, but oh, so fun!
Here, the three little boys are bedding down with Joanna and Jemima on the living room floor.


Our whole family :)

We spent New Year's Day at the Eldredge's house and
Susanne agreed to take the "U & B" family picture!
