Have a Laugh!

DA has been really into drawing pictures lately. I'm loving it. Featured below is Aunt Rachael's family: Aunt Rachael, Uncle Brett, and DA's three cousins.

After he gave me the picture, he then went on to explain it. This is Uncle Brett:

This is Aunt Rachael:

This is Cousin L:

This is her little brother, Cousin D2 (who DA calmly informed me was missing an eye thanks to the aliens):

And this is the alien (whom I have fondly named "The Carrot"):

"But where is cousin D1?" I asked him.

His response, "He was kidnapped by the aliens."

Maybe that's why Aunt Rachael is grinning from ear to ear.

From My Sweethearts

Jake came home with a surprise from him and DA a few days ago. To celebrate having a girl, he brought me flowers. And they are beautiful! He told me DA had known about daddy picking up flowers for a couple of days and was almost bursting to tell me. How does a four-year-old keep a secret?

I don't know, but I was thrilled he did. Orange and yellow lilies from my sweethearts! Just beautiful. Made me feel so special.
