Uncle Michael and Aunt Joy made a surprise visit bringing Cousin Adrienne. It was even more of a surprise since they live 13 hrs away in Maryland. So all three cousins got to spend some time together and we got to have a big family picture. Olivia was pretty good with the babies. It's hard to believe she's only 3 1/2 yrs. old. She's so tall! So is Adrienne. She's only 14 months and is in 18-24 months clothes. Izzy definitely gets her diminutiveness from the Horning side of the family.
The sun shone all weekend but the mosquitoes were out in full force. Mommy was able to take Izzy for a short walk around the yard with the carrier net covering them. Otherwise, we spent most of our time inside safe behind screened windows. Livvie was busy and "died" many bugs that broke into the house.
Izzy did amazingly well, sleeping in an unfamiliar bed and house. Fortunately we thought to pack her mobile so when she had enough of big family life, she could spend some quiet time with her "friends." She had a few cranky moments when she wanted to eat non-stop but she did get some happy time with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma and Livvie were good at keeping her happy while we had to pack the car to go.
The trip home Monday was not so great. A camper fire in Saco caused traffic to stop for 1.5 hrs. Fortunately it was completely stopped and not rolling so Izzy got to have a meal and diaper change. The trip home took 6 hrs since we had to stop for a pee break and then for another feeding. It was a crash course for Mommy in feeding and diapering in weird situations. Izzy didn't complain and got lots of sleep in the car. Such a good little kiddo :)

Having lots of family around is always (mostly) fun. All my aunts and uncles are here right now and it's a non-stop party in this house!
