Easter Part 2

Easter Part 1

Aunt Olivia and Loretta visit Cole

My great-aunt Olivia and her bestie, Loretta came by today to visit Baby Cole and Myles. It's always a pleasure to see them! We are so blessed by having such a great extended family in our lives. Having come from a somewhat dysfunctional family and being estranged from my mother, I'm particularly grateful for my great-aunts, my Aunt Carolyn, my inlaws who are the best grands ever, etc. We've got so many great people in our lives, who love our boys and it's just something that deserves to be acknowledged. I don't take you friends and family for granted!

As you can see, Myles does really seem to adore his baby brother. He kept leaning over him saying "big bruddah."

Myles made Loretta read his new Cars book twice! Mark got it from the Borders going-out-of-business sale, and it's been a hit with Myles since he brought it home. No one escapes without having to read it!

Photoshoots - a new subject

During my 1st pregnancy, I took up knitting. This time around, I learned how to make hats using this great little device called the Knifty Knitter. It's a round plastic loom, costs about $5 and cuts down the time it takes to make hats and tubes of any type.

For newborn photography, baby cocoons are all the rage. Here is baby Cole in a matching hat and cocoon set that I made.

More life at home

Daddy gives Myles his first ever bath (not Myles' first bath, but Mark's first giving of it!)
