A visit from the Bakers!

It's been a while since the last post, so here's a long one! Geoff and Carol and Ivy and Sage were in town to visit little Finn - so we had a little Ostle/Baker shindig. Luckily, the gathering was on Saturday, just hours before the 48 hour deluge of rain.
Here, Finn shows Sage his "office".
"Janet, hold all my calls! I've got a big meeting with Sage to discuss the global economy and the virtues of bond investing. And also, poop."
The Baker boys and their spawn take a stroll in Takoma Park! Luckily, the car that looks like it's about to drive through Andy's head stopped just in the nick of time.
Sage gives Andy some tips on effective rice cereal feeding...
"See, here's the deal. It's all in how deftly you work the spoon. It takes a gentle touch - I'd show you myself, but I'd probably just end up eating the cereal anyway!"
Finn and Sage pose for pictures...
And then Finn and Ivy pose. If you think there's a trend here, you'd be right...many pictures were taken of BOTH permutations of Finn with a cousin. However, you're probably wondering where the picture of ALL three of them is. If you ask that question, clearly you have little experience wrangling a 3 year old, a 1 year old and a 5 month old!
Yes, there was some quiet time for reading to be had...It was a wonderful visit to Bakertown!
Love, A&E

In the first picture,it looks like Ivy is showing the pictures in her book to a very inattentive class!
What a fun-looking visit.

Can't wait to see the D.C. branch of the family.
