Leftover photos from our trip to Michigan

I have so many pictures from our trip to Michigan that I never got around to sharing. I was going to write about them, but if they're ever going to be posted, I'll just have to put them up.

Goofy family pictures

Our flight back to Stockholm was rough: the kids barely slept and James and I didn't at all. Our first day back, yesterday, is a complete blur - I don't know how it passed or what happened, but it's suddenly Wednesday evening. I do remember Tuesday overnight - that was rough, with each kid up for at least two hours at different points. Hoping things start to bounce back to normal tomorrow.

These are the first pictures that we have of all four of us together. It's hard to believe that it took more than six months to get us all in a photo, isn't it? And they're very goofy; I was hoping to have at least one nice one, but we'll have to try again for that - hopefully before Leif turns one!

August was thrilled about the idea:

Grandma's ingenuity

Leif is at a difficult stage where he's not happy on the floor for very long, but he can't yet sit up. Grandma found a great solution:

Leif and his great uncles

It was a joy to introduce Leif to the rest of the family and the rest of the family Leif. My uncles came to visit for a day and we were so glad to see them.

(Sorry, couldn't get one picture with everyone looking good and in focus.)

Cousin time

Both boys, and especially August, are enjoying their time with cousins. Ben and his kids left today, but we'll have more time with my cousins and their kids in the next few days.

Cousin love

We're in Michigan visiting my family, and we're so busy with kids--and exhausted from the flight and jet lag--that blogging hasn't really been on my mind. But I'll try to get a few pictures up in the next week anyway.
