The Mighty Magnus

One fun thing about visiting Oregon to see Scott's family is that my sister lives only a short distance away in Vancouver, WA.  So we got to visit with her a few times.  Here are Grant (on the right) with my sister Ruth's little boy, Magnus (on the left).  Magnus is about 4 weeks younger than Grant.  They were cute together. Coincidentally the names Magnus and Grant both have similar meanings:  they both mean GREAT!!

 Magnus is pretty tall and a very good walker.  Here he is giving Matthew a nice hug.

 
Here are Ruth and I with our respective little ones.  Does Magnus look a lot bigger than Grant?  He is.  By about six pounds and I don't know how many inches in height.  Grant is still small for his age, but I'm hoping he'll start catching up.  Also I think I look about 10 months pregnant in this picture...and in real life.  I'm only 7 1/2.  Unlike my hopes for Grant, I'm hoping I don't get much bigger. This picture was bloglifted from my sister.  Thanks Ruth!

 And here is Uncle Dana with Magnus and Grant.  Magnus and Dana look alike, wouldn't you say?

 Here are all the cousins hanging out.  They were even looking in the right direction.

Magnus was wondering why everyone was laughing.  Magnus also seemed perplexed at the amount of noise the three of my kids could make together.  Grant was very loud compared to Magnus, maybe out of necessity being the third child.  They had fun playing together!  It was good seeing you Magnus (and of course, you too Ruth and Dana).  Hopefully we can come visit again soon!
