Family Day

Saturday was a great day. My Mom had been planning all week to come and visit us all if the weather remained remotely calm, but at the last minute Cara and the kids decided to join her. So the Mathews four spent a chaotic but lovely day holed up in the apartment with my Mom, two sisters, two nephews and niece. Emma and Callie ran off and played all day like usual, the adults played numerous games of Euchre and Scene It, and Grifin hovered in the weird nether-region between hanging with us and annoying the little ones. But what was really fun was watching the two babies together. Sophie and Cadin were sharing toys (um...sort of), having little conversations no one else could understand, taking off on crawling races to who knows where...whatever the activity, their interaction was fascinating. Here's a shot of Grandma with her arms really full, and Sophie and Cadin in mid-play (notice the Cheerios surrounding them on the floor...between the two of them our living room rug was swimming in Cheerios by the end of the day.)
It was a whirlwind day trip and everyone was gone by 7pm, but I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday.
