Family Matters

First, the baby:

Dressed up for church in Cousin Holly's hand-me-down.
The smile looked cute on the camera screen, but is kinda freaky here.

What is going on? Who is this guy?

Thanks for all the toys, sister.
Can you tell how excited I am to be holding them?


Oh wait, no. I like them now.

Can I go to sleep yet?


Thanks.

We love our little Elinor. Her hair stands up like that on its own, I promise. It will not lay flat. Elinor is getting so chubby and is starting to sleep better at night. Caleb loves to sit by her bouncer to give her kisses and sing to her when she is sad. It's really cute. Caleb understands crying and crying but not getting the attention you feel you deserve.

Caleb and Emily still have their share of fun. In fact, I'm afraid Miss Elinor spends a lot of her time sitting in her bouncer in the corner while I tend to the louder kids' needs.

I though it was cute how they were sitting so close to each other
in the middle of this already pretty small love seat.


Emily breastfeeding her "tiny little baby doll"
(she doesn't give real names, but she has specific titles for each doll that she owns).

"That big baby doll" being burped by a diva in a princess dress.

Cute pouty-lipped Caleb. I love this little boy!

Ready for ballet class. Doesn't the pink dog just complete the look?
I think the surly brother on the side helps too.

Sorry - not too much going on. Just living our lives, enjoying the weather, and getting used to having Elinor as part of our family.
