Sibling Visit

We had a sudden opportunity to get all the sibs together.  Just required me to drive through LA.  My sisters are well aware of how rare that is.  But for this...okay.  

And it was well worth it.

Annabelle got to meet her nephew for the first time.

This is a great shot of Trevor and James.  Both smiling.  Love it!

And a silly one of everyone.  So happy!

Grandbaby

Falls asleep during bathtime...

Ready for action the rest of the time.

Diaper Man

This kid hates to be without clothes, to only have a diaper on.  Hates it.

But he hates trying to dress himself even more.  

So when I got him into a fresh diaper and told him to go get some shorts and a shirt, he decided this was the better option - climb in to mommy's bed.

This round goes to you kid.  

But I will prevail and you will learn to dress yourself!

Pills

I used to gag at the idea of swallowing a pill.  

But for years now I have had to take a lot of pills every day.  

Eight in one swallow?  I don't even bat an eye anymore.  I guess there are a few good things about chronic mystery illnesses.

My pill popping talents?  They are a-growing.

Swing

When the baby is not using the swing, Ev makes sure his punching bag gets a turn.

Easter Bunny Time

Leo's first hunt!

Literally climbing the bookshelves for eggs...

And I love Penelope's face here...

Grandpa held Leo for the hunt.

Success!

Penelope and Jazzy made ribs for dinner...and wore super frilly aprons... 

Love James' demonic eyes.  He was probably rolling them at one of my cool mom jokes.

He is a very good uncle though.

Yum!
