Michelle, Olivia, Sophia, Julia, Maria, Aunt Marts, and Aunt Omi came to Minneapolis for the week. It is hard for me to put into words all the adventures we encountered over a week, but it was so much fun. Caedon and Norah together with the girls played, cried, swam, ran, slept (sort of), played some more, cried some more, made a mess, cleaned it up, tried to sleep, went to a park, the Mall of America, Uncle Troy and Aunt Mary's house, Edinbourogh park, Linden Hills, and much more. We we so sad to see them leave, but look forward to seeing them again at Christmas!!
Norah took a moment to stop for a picture before running through the water sprinkler
Sophie, Aunt MiMi and Julia
The Orobello/Exsted clan
Soph didn't want to get her swimsuit wet
The kids to a moment to stop for picture
Olivia, the oldest one
Sophie, the middle one
I couldn't get Julia to look up at the camera, so here's Norah, the youngest one
A rare group shot of all the girls, and Caedon
Some action shots on the slip n' slide

Fresh basil in the mouth
Newest buddies
Jules and Aunt Mary
We had another visitor for a few day, Toby
I think Toby liked his stay at the Exsted house
Little Miss O
Big Brown Eyes
Olivia is into the Little Rascals. So we watched it a couple times, the kids were quick to pick up on a particular phrase, "I hate your stinking guts"
Some more random pics of Julia
A night at the Mall
Getting ready to have some fun
But first a picture with Dora and Benny (no idea who Benny is)
First the Big Rigs
Then the spinny thing with lights
I told them to show me the gifts they got at the mall. Then say "cheese."
One of the funny pics of the week
My favorite one of the week. Caedon laying on a couch getting his hair done by the girls.
A little Norah naked time before bed
A classic early childhood picture, all the kids in the tub.
