Meeting Rowan

Yesterday we arrived in New Hampshire for our annual "it's too hot to stay in DC let's go visit the grandparents" trip. Today my sister, Beth, drove down from Maine with her almost five week old baby, Rowan. Both Merete and Finn were excited about meeting Rowan, and their expectations held up. Merete wanted to hold her the entire time:



As Finn was waking up from his nap (he went to bed pretty late the night before - he insists that even though it only looked like it, his eyes were open the entire time), I put Rowan in bed with him. How cute are they?




Finn was a little more reluctant, but after some convincing he decided to hold her. Immediately after this photo was taken he announced: "Okay, I'm done with her now." Then he was off to play with marbles.
