Valentine's Day Pics

You will see a LOT of pictures to follow. We had a big weekend and I wanted to post lots of pics. I will go back and explain them later. I found an easier way to upload them, but it only lets me put in 4 per post. I'll have to figure that out later. So, for now, lots of posts, sorry. Gotta run for now, but had to repost this picture, for it is the one that best explains my kiddos.

Nana thought this reminded her of the old cell phone commercial asking "how many bars do you have?" We thought it was pretty cute to have them all lined up side-by-side. I can't believe how big Emerald and Calvin look, and how little the babies look!

Here are the 3 youngest. Zach is 7 weeks here, Josiah is almost 10 weeks, and Simon is 5 months. He was so happy for these pictures.

Emerald told me to stop "flashing in Zach's eyes" b/c he "doesn't like it anymore". I thought this picture was sweet, showing how much she cares for her little brother already.

I couldn't believe how much she has taken to wanting to hold Zachary. Sometimes she is a little too much of a mommy and thinks she can do it all by herself. She is good about telling us when she is done, and then is patient as we remove Zach from her lap.

The kids love having Gwen over to babysit them. She is a really good babysitter, and we are lucky b/c she is right across the street from us! Here they are making her read yet another story to them.

Our first attempt at getting all the cousins in for a picture. We can't get the purple dress off Emerald these days.

Simon and Zachary comparing sizes of hands. I think Simon wins!
