All in the family

The past two weeks, we have enjoyed visits from all four of the grandparents. Nana and Paw Paw came week before last and Peaches and Grandpa were here last week. Thankfully, everyone stayed well through the visits and we were able to enjoy the company.

The main attraction, other than just enjoying the grandbabies, was Caroline's first birthday. I really can't believe we've survived a year of having two little ones. The little punkin enjoyed being the center of attention, but I think she really enjoyed the cupcake most of all. I can't believe my 6 lb 6 oz baby has grown so much. (Um, can you say 75th percentile for weight? Her well-check is tomorrow, but I'm guessing she's around 23 or so pounds.) I am getting really weepy about not having a baby anymore. I cried after giving her her last bottle. I'll miss all that baby snuggling and cooing and sweetness. But maybe I'll start getting some more sleep at some point and it will soften the pain of their growing up.

Here are a few photos from Nana and Paw Paw's visit, including a trip to the Birmingham Zoo. The other set of grandparents will get another post.

Paw Paw read about a million books to Catherine. Her idea of heaven.

This was Caroline for the whole trip to the zoo. She wasn't too excited about the whole thing.

Does anyone know how to flip pics in blogger? We have this saved. Oh well, look at it with your head cocked to the side.

More zoo fun.

Turn your head to the right this time.
