Adventures in Wisconsin Part I
We had planned to go last Friday but were all ill… but FINALLY we got to meet cousin/niece Sophia! Two weeks old already!
It was a beautiful day, the area where my brother and his wife live is just gorgeous but not as gorgeous as their baby! What a little charmer and like a good baby, quite the nursing machine! Like every mother I think Victoria is wondering… “Is this normal?” What a darling. I’ll try not to gush further but needless to say we were smitten. My kids must have given her 100 kisses each. I just couldn’t believe we were sitting in their living room – cousins together. Surreal.
Just a smidge under two hours away, I imagine there will be many trips back and forth in the future. I mean, there are 3 girls all 3 years and younger. I hope they will be the best of friends. And don’t dismiss Aidan – he loves the ladies… and babies, wow, he loves babies!!!
We went to the park, and I can’t to visit in warmer weather as there is a lake, farmers market and out of this world community gardens… bike paths. It’s a lovely area to be a stay at home mom with your first baby. Pack baby up in a cozy stroller and go enjoy it all! What a special, memorable time in life. We only got a tiny taste of it as it was pretty cold… but we’ve got lots of memories to make!
I will never forget the day I held my brother’s child.
Adventures in Wisconsin
Part II coming soon…
In the meantime I don’t know if I can resist an Adventures in India post if you know what I mean…
Oh my what a beautiful baby!! Looks like everyone had such a wonderful time! Glad you were all well enough to go visiting!!
What a lovely baby. Cousins are the best!
Pretty pretty! Such beautiful little children, and what joy they bring! Looking at your photos of your beautiful family makes me think I need to get off of the computer and out to the backyard to play with my own little cuties. Oh, how I would love to be 24 years old so that I could have 5 or 6 more of them!!! Thanks for posting and have a great weekend!
Isn’t Wisconsin gorgeous this time of year? We are headed to Lake Geneva in a couple of weeks for a little anniversary getaway.
Baby Sofia is beautiful {so is mommy} and I enjoyed seeing your kids as well. So glad you had a wonderful time!
XO,
Jane
Very sweet to see the children together.
Bahaha….adventures in INDIA!
Well, your adventures in Wisconsin were BETTER…much! What a little doll your niece is. What a fun time all these cousins will have in the years to come, that’s for sure!
XOXO

PS: Victoria, you look wonderful just having had a baby! Your daughter is just so sweet!
Oh, this is so precious…..all the ‘littles’ as cousins.
Your Mom is so blessed (as am I) to have three grand-girlies and a boy to guard them all.
*You* are so very blessed to have the love and closeness of your sister-by-love. You two are lovelies! Two hours may seem like far-away, but you will make the distance fly.
I for one am looking forward to the ‘trip to India’……your humour lights up my google reader :o)

Sweet pics of a sweet baby!
Oh my goodness, what sweet pics!
That one of Amelie holding Sophia’s head, precious!!!
Sophia was one of the names on my baby girl names list. She is a beauty. I did not realize your youngests name is Juliette `Elisabeth. I have a Grace Elisabeth. I also miscarried a Rose Juliet. So glad you had a wonderful family road trip! ox
Your sweet little curly headed chick is so adorable!! How wonderful that your kids have cousins their age, what a wonderful thing.
