The Cousins Meet

This past week Katie, Jeremy and Benjamin came for a visit from Houston. This was the first time we got to meet our nephew and the first time that the cousins got to meet each other. At five and a half weeks (Ben) and eleven weeks (Jesse), they didn't really seem to notice each other very much, but we sure had lots of fun with them. One day we did a photo shoot with the two boys in the matching outfits that their Grandma Ann bought them. They actually cooperated quite well for the photo shoot, but it was challenging to find a time to take pictures, since it seemed that one of them was always hungry, fussy, or sleeping.

Here are some of the best pictures from the shoot. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law took all the pictures and did a great job. I think they got close to 500 pictures between the two of them!

Jesse wasn't so happy about this at first:

Now he's warming up to the idea:


Jesse has discovered the joy of chewing on his hands in the past week, so he looks like this in many of the pictures:



They aren't going to like some of these pictures when they're older:

Sweet little boys!
