One Short of a Dozen

My brother's family came to visit for a day or two.

This brought the total to ELEVEN boys! and two ladies.

Playing in the field and wood pile were an important part of each day.

Affectionately known as "Cheeks," got ANY thing he wanted from me.

Two inches of water, a little plastic + silly boys = fun!

We celebrated a birthday for Gabe, turning a wise four.

Which birthday included a delicious orange-lemon cake, bite optional.

Can you believe now that they're gone, SIX boys seem quite quiet?

The Boys

The weather outside is frightfully cold.

Boys have been home from school for three days and counting.

And I'm missing my babies!

Anyone want to play?

cutie #1, often thought to be wearing a toupee

cutie #2, baby bambino

cutie #3, where's his hair?

cutie #4, very serious

cutie #5, spit up everywhere because he loved to eat and eat

cutie #6, already wondering how the camera works
