Oh So Pretty!

Jake was feeling a bit better today so we went to visit my SIL and her kids. We had a blast visiting with them and even got the guys to grill a bit for lunch. The kids are really getting to an age where they are "playing" together and ready to check out new people. This past week my SIL has been working on converting one of their rooms to a playroom for her twins and I have to say I'm jealous. It is so great to have a room all theirs that you don't have to pick up toys in. Her kids would come out and play with everyone in the den then just crawl off to the playroom when they wanted to go in there. It was great! If we had the room I'd do that, but I can't give up my office and I don't really want to give up my guest room just yet. So for now, we'll just use our den as the playroom too (or drive to Aunt Lisa's to play with her stuff!). While we were over there we got all four of the kids dressed in their Easter outfits for pictures, but it's getting tough with all four mobile. Plus we did it at the end of the day so they weren't really in the mood for pictures. Especially Jake! He really didn't fuss much during the day until after we got him dressed and set him in front of the fireplace for pics. He just burst into tears at that point. Poor thing...he did the same thing for the Christmas photos we took with all four of them.

Jake didn't want any part of this.


Abby had so much fun!


Ethan's the man!


Ahhh! Catch them!


This was the only picture Jake smiled in - after we gave him puffs.
