Cousin's Visit - Around the House

RJ was so excited to have his cousins visit. At the end of the weekend, he was sad to see them leave. He told me Monday morning, "Mommy, I want my cousins to come back on Wednesday." and then said, "We can go on an airplane to their house tomorrow."

It didn't take long for RJ and Lydia to bust in on the baby getting all the attention.

Claire draws a impressively accurate picture of herself.

She really wanted to decorate for the baptism and the twins' birthday party, so we had (I should say "have" since they are still floating around the house) 30 balloons. Claire pretends to be a flower.

The girls sit to learn songs and Big Pumpkin. RJ is working on this!
