Cuteness--Day 1

Well, all the relatives have now left, and our house is once again nearly-empty with just the two of us. As we spend the evening recuperating (read: watching tv and avoiding work), I thought I'd take a look at the photos we took. There are many to be sorted through--here are just a few from day 1 of the visit (i.e. last Saturday):

Ellie & Ben tackling/cuddling with each other on the bed.

Ellie helping Liz make black bean lasagna.

Flying a kite with Liz. Their parents were napping in the room with the kids' clothes and we didn't want to wake them, so instead we wrapped them in our fleece jackets--which turned out to be more like gowns on the kids :).

Ben spent some time sorting through rocks in our yard and selecting "special" ones to set aside :).
