Cincinnati In REALLY Short Spurts.

Due to my jaw-dropping new levels of lazitude, I'm feelin' more like posting a few of my favorite pix from this past weekend (as opposed to blathering on for a thousand words) AND haven't had a chance to watermark any of these photos, either. So, if you're like the one person who keeps trying to steal these images...do me a solid today and leave 'em alone, yeah? 

Without further ado (oh, who am I kidding- there's always "ado" for days around here)...I present to you: Pictures From Our 36 Hour Jaunt To Cincinnati In Order To FINALLY Meet The Newest Members Of The Family. 

A bluegrass festival was attended. Nora, who protested her nap for a goodly two hours,
fell asleep as we hit the parking lot. Peej, ever-game, laid on the steps with her like a
good pair of street urchins. Susannah looks really weirded out.

Oh, Pop-Pop. You're hilarious.

I love this pic because they look a) simultaneously really
involved in something,and b) like a pair of twins, size-wise.

Everyone spent the festival teaching the baby how to toast her
sippy and yell "cheers!" THANKS, EVERYONE.

Dorrie is the Pied Piper. Boden, Mikey, Nora, and baby
Finn are having a blast. Dorrie is more than a little dizzy.

The babies themselves! Peej's Mom snuggles Rian, while P.J. holds Miss Finley.
(Note- I did not try to steal them, but I did spend an inordinate amount of time smelling
their baby heads. Seriously, people, seriously. Baby Head Smell.)

Zuzu gives pat-pat-pats to Grandma Jane. (Which is good, because Nora roundly snubbed Grandma in
favor of attempting to fall into the fish pond. She later came back with a dandelion for her-
to match her sweater- but then promptly took it back to give to me. So, uh, thank you
Susannah. Way to bring a little charm to this team.)
