February fun

We had a busy Friday and Saturday, with lots of baby and toddler fun. Charlie had an Alumni Board meeting at Gustavus last night and today through mid-afternoon, so he, Angie, Ethan, and Owen came yesterday mid-afternoon. Late in the afternoon, Hannah decided she wanted to call, but didn't know the babies were already here, so when she found that out, we had a great Skype-and-Dine session. Hannah had to work hard to get a word in because the little boys were so happy to see her they talked the entire time. In VERY loud and cute voices!

On Saturday around lunch time, Miles arrived with his mommy and daddy right in the middle of another Skype session with Hannah, this time so she could see Owen crawl. Owen showed off his crawling, Ethan grinned from ear to ear, and then they enjoyed bottles while everyone else talked.

As always, the time went too fast, and we miss everyone from North Carolina to Richfield to O-Town. Here are some highlights:

Grandpappy and Miles talk about police cars and prop planes.
