R&Q's "Coming Out" in the RR

Our other main reason for going to Austin this past weekend other than the Fraser's Friends Fundraiser was to attend Ryan, Quinn, and their cousin Ady's "coming out" party in the RR. Matt's mom was so thoughtful  to put this together for all of us and it was such a blast to see everyone. Many of them we had not seen since Matt's Dad's funeral, so needless to say it was wonderful to see them under happier circumstances. David must have been smiling down that day because the weather could not have been more perfect and the turn out was great. 

We decided to dress the cousins in matching outfits in hopes of getting some family pictures. Well, we definitely took lots of pictures, but of course as these things go, we didn't get ONE picture of all of the siblings, aunts, cousins, etc. Oh, well. We'll try next time. In the meantime, I had Quinn and Ady in matching outfits down to the bow (they are only 3 months apart) --- and they looked more like twins than R&Q do! ha. More than once during the party, I would walk past Ady and go, "Hi, Quinnie!" --- ooops, not my child.

Anyway, it was such a fun day and the babies really enjoyed meeting their extended RR family. Thank you, Barbara, for a wonderful time! Here (of course) are a few pics. I will try to whittle it down. The bad thing about our new camera is you can take pictures so quickly that I end up with hundreds to edit. And then I have a hard time deleting and picking my favorites. So I'll do my best on here considering I think I uploaded about 100 pictures to facebook yesterday. I am pretty sure more people are going to delete me as a friend today, or at least hide my posts :)

Quinn was not so sure of the swing. It kept her too contained.

Ummmm, enough?

Not sure what Ryan is doing in this picture - too loud?

He actually wasn't even sleeping in this picture. He was playing dead.

Quinn, of course, never stopped
