So much family!

We've had a busy few days with lots of visits with family. Yet another reason we love Maine!

"Daddy, if I look cute enough, will you come sooner?"

"sticks are ok"

"but I really love the good old camera case"

The family from Moccasin Hill arrived first, including ANOTHER dog, this one just a month older than Margaret:

a book lover already? It runs in the family!

Margaret and Calley got along famously

Calley even let Margaret get up close and personal
(under strict supervision by G.A.B., of course)


siblings?

sisters?

charmed by her cousin

And then today we visited with her Maine cousins!


playing with the "big kids"

Guess who's parents are doctors?

I can't get over how big Sadie is! And the fact that she looks EXACTLY like Tucker! Are you sure she's only 14 months? She looks like a two year old! And Tucker! Wow! He's such a big boy now!

Awesome pictures, as always. I love the ones of Margaret with all of the family. What fun you're having!

It is so nice to see Margaret surrounded by so many people and animals. You will be amazed by what she picks up from each and every one of the. (including the dogs) She seems to get bigger by every posting. It's also really nice to see pictures of your family. Your mom and her sisters look so much alike!
Miss you guys,
Joannie

Looks like you guys are having such a great time up there! Can't wait to get our little ones together - should be lots of fun. Thanks for posting!

Yeah, the resemblance between Sadie and Tucker is pretty strong. No doubt who their parents are! It looks like the kids got along just fine. I was amazed to see her playing so well in a circle with the other kids.

I also love the photo of Margaret, Calley and G.A.B. - it really looks like Margaret and G.A.B. are having an actual conversation! M just looks so engaged.

And she seems very happy to be hanging out with Carrie as well!

Joannie, that's really funny. Actually, Barb (center in the photo labeled "sisters?" is actually Jack's sister and not related to Lucy or Roz - but you're right, they should be siblings from the look of things!

I'm very jealous of both Margaret (for getting to meet Calley) and Calley (for getting to hang out with Margaret) and can't wait to get there.

...and oh, that first photo. She's so cute that if I could come early, I most definitely would!

I love the photo of Gabby, Roz, and Lucy! and of course Margaret in her over the top spaceship control panel.
Bring on summer!!

Barbara said...

I definitely saw that coming.
No John, Gabby will NOT be added to my list of nicknames! That's up there with Babs as a no no.
As for sisters, glad to be included in that clan!
Love you! Barby (that's okay within the family unit)
