The Family/Picture Exodus

Again, I'm sooo grateful (by the way, it took me until I was almost out of college to learn how to spell that word correctly) that my family was willing and able to come down to be with us for a few days. That's the family exodus part. The pictures sometimes get stuck in my camera and are merely waiting for me to download them onto the computer. Such was the case this time. Thus it became a picture exodus. (A long labor of love in the making.) Enjoy!

Each of the aunties playing with a niece or nephew. Hannah may kill me for posting the middle picture, but you gotta love a cheeser smile every now and again.

My poor mother was sick the entire time so she couldn't play with the grandkids. Sad. By the way, she brought all four of her toy poodles down with her. The first time she did this we almost tore our hair out for worry. But now it's like having the family down. What are four hairy extra bodies when you already have so many? Piece of cake.

What a lovable face. This was the very first thing that she saw that morning and was obviously excited, but still waking up. I got a good laugh. She'd colored on her forehead the night before and had a scab on her chin. Makes for a good picture, huh? She loved her baby doll and wanted to feed it right away. It was a tender moment.

I think he liked Rebekah's training potty more than she did when she first got it. Hey, it was colorful and it was within reaching distance. Thankfully, it had yet to be used. :) The tree picture was simply funny. He wanted to look at the tree upside down. I think he discovered it was there while stretching and just neglected to realize that he could look at it from a better/different angle.
