Meeting Esmee
August 19, 2006

On our way to the lake this year, we stopped in Minneapolis to meet Matthew's 4-month-old niece, Esmee. We spent a fun afternoon with this sweet baby girl, and caught up with her mommy and daddy, Catherine and John.

Uncle Matthew and little Esmee get acquainted.

Sweet baby.

Esmee checks out the chalkboard menu on the wall.

Say cheese!

John, Esmee and Catherine.

Esmee laughs at one of Uncle Matthew's jokes.

Back at the McMansion (John and Catherine's temporary home) Esmee was ready for a clean diaper and some dinner.

Winding down before bedtime - Uncle Matthew tries to make Esmee smile.

Esmee thinks Uncle Fez is funny looking.

Hands are for chewing. And sometimes gagging.

There's a little smile!
