Visiting Our New Nephew

Last week we finally got down to Salem to visit baby Edmund again. We had a fabulous time, as it was a beautiful day outside and the 5 oldest cousins had a blast together. It was truly delightful to watch them all play with one another! This meant Katie and I could have some peace and quiet, catch up on some of her housework, and snuggle with Edmund lots. I was even able to do a little photo shoot of the handsome boy! Here’s some pictures of our morning and Edmund:

Miriam, who’s six years old, had all the older kids lined out playing games while they waited for lunch It was so fun to have a picnic outside! I LOVE this picture of the oldest four; however, the funniest part of the picture is little Clara’s head at the bottom, which I intentionally cut off as she was screaming because she couldn’t climb the tree like the rest of them. It’s tough being the youngest Clara! Seth holding Edmund Sam wouldn’t hold Edmund because he “only wants to hold HIS baby.” Silly boy. I told him that he should practice, but he wouldn’t be persuaded.
