More from Wisconsin

The weather was really nice in Wisconsin while we were there. We got to enjoy lots of time outside.

At The Terrace (the University of WI student union) right on Lake Monona.

Out to lunch with Aunt Lisa, Uncle Scott, and Mary Jane.



And lastly, I had to include this picture....three cousins zoned out watching morning cartoons!

Cousins

Charlotte took her first trip last week to Madison, Wisconsin to see Aunt Lisa again, and to meet her cousins and Uncle Scott. The plane ride went great! Charlotte slept, ate, and just looked around the entire time. She may be a world traveller!

The whole visit was great. Anna and Mary Jane were so excited to meet Charlotte. They couldn't get enough of her! And Charlotte loved all the attention. This visit was first of many fun times for these three cousins!



Anna, Mary Jane & Charlotte


To welcome Charlotte, Anna made a fabulous crown that said "Welcome Charlotte" on it. Charlotte wore it with pride....happy to be part of the gang!


Everyone got to hold Charlotte, waiting patiently until it was their turn. Mary Jane was especially attentive to Charlotte's needs, covering her up, suggesting soothing ideas, setting up toys for her, and watching her "drink".





Anna enjoyed "talking" with Charlotte. Charlotte just started cooing while we were in Madison, so Anna would ask her questions and Charlotte would coo back her answers. Anna thought this was great and translated her coos for all of us. Anna also took a picture of Charlotte in to Show & Share at school. Very proud to show off her new cousin!

All Smiles!

Charlotte woke up this morning all smiley, perhaps she knew it was Grandma Sue's birthday today. She's been smiling for a couple weeks now, but these are the first grins we've caught on camera.

We dedicate these first smiles to Grandma Sue :)
We love you and miss you.
