James’ cousin Sue and her husband Kevin are moving into a new place, so Lori took on double-baby duty last week, watching Eamonn and Mathias for a day so the parents could cart stuff over without worrying about the little guy.
With the Baby Bjorn and stroller, they were all able to make it to Jewel for some snacks and the park for a ride on the baby swings. Here are some photos of the two hanging around our place (click the photo to see a slideshow).
Of course, they can’t all be good times. This one starts with some fussing but is saved by Old McDonald. Whew!

loved it. james, you are a great dad!
Aww–thank you! I had plenty of good role models growing up.
Did Caitlin tell you she babysat for us Saturday night? It was a huge help! We have a picture of her and Mathias together that she should send along. I’ve also been meaning to send you the picture of you and the little guy at Fiddler’s Hearth.
Hope all is well!
They’re getting so big! Mathias is going to seem like an entirely different baby by the time you make it out here.
p.s. Please send some lovin Susie, Kevin and E’s way!
They get bigger all the time! Mathias is like a little toddler now; we can’t wait for you to see him.
We’ll send your love along!
Old McDonald saved the last 15 minutes of a car trip for us back in September. We eventually ran out of standard barnyard animals, and had to move onto lions, snakes, and monkeys.
We’ve run through the whole barnyard ourselves–Old McDonald’s wife and son have made appearances. A monkey would be good though.
