First family outing!

Yesterday Maddie and Ben had their first family get-together -- and their first outing besides trips to the doctor! It was also their 6-week old birthday.

We went to my cousin Doug and Sara's house to celebrate several family birthdays, particularly the two 2-year-olds -- Olympia and Emily -- who were born a day apart. Not all of the family was there, but most of the Twin Cities' based ones were.

The kids -- ages 4 and under -- were fascinated by Ben and Maddie. Each took a turn holding one or the other. Olympia was especially enthralled, helping to feed each one and following us to the changing table when it was time for a new diaper.

Here's a pic of all the kids. It was quite a challenge to get 4 toddlers to all look in the same direction and not have a funny face!
