Family Visit

My uncle Bill and aunt Conni, their daughter Erin (my cousin) and her two boys (Jack and Ethan) came for a two-night, three-day visit a couple weeks back.  Erin wanted to get a visit in before her new little guy arrives in early April.  She and the boys slept in Caleb's room (as is our routine).  Caleb slept in Abby and Essie's room, and my uncle and aunt brought their tent trailer and slept out in the driveway, so it was one grand adventure.  It really was so much fun.

We were very blessed to help celebrate my aunt's birthday with her.  My mom made a HUGE chocolate/whipped-cream cake.  Yummers!

Taking a ride on the golf cart to breakfast at my folk's house.

Family "Tree" :)

(Gotta love Caleb's tongue-out expression.  He thinks he's being funny.  Grr.)

Lizzy and JJ

My nephew and niece, JJ and Lizzy, made their first trip up to see us a couple weekends ago.  The kids were in hog heaven, especially the girls.  They SO want to be little mommies, and WHAT an opportunity!  They were able to help feed the babies a lot.  Just think: TWINS!  Double the pleasure.

I love the milk drunk look and the "tell-tale" bottle in the background.

He loves me...

My Valentine's Day flowers (a little late, but better late than never) -- aren't they pretty?

Day at the Park

Took the kids to the park a few weeks ago.  We like cheap thrills, and the park always seems to do it, especially when they get to ride their bikes there and back; they love it...and it's FREE.  We love that.

Not sure what was happening with Caleb's hair; apparently it was a bad-hair day.  He's cute, though, so that makes up for it. :)

It's only about a quarter mile to the park, but I was so proud of him.  He rode his bike the whole way there and the whole way back.  Big boy.

Abby hung back with me.  Sweet baby girl.
