Motley Crew

 Oh my little Motley Crew, how I love you.  The Girl - annoyed that I've arranged a group picture, Little Sister - sincere and sweet, Baby Miss - cheesey smile to match the bigger-than-life personality behind it and Mr. Mr. - quite possibly overwhelmed. Today with every click of my shutter I was reminded that my cup runeth over.

 This Lil Guy is 8 weeks today.  Really?!  Can hardly believe it has been that long yet it's like he has been a part of our family forever.  He flashed me a dazzling grin that melted my heart on Wednesday.  His first real smile, not the involuntary ones that occur when he's sleeping but ones that require effort and concentration and that are sometimes preceded by a coo.  He had to work up to this one.  As I was cheering him on I could see it first in his eyes, then his fists started shaking and a few moments later, voila!  Good things certainly come to those who wait.  I love waiting on smiles.  Nothing else I'd rather do.  Since his birth, the Girl

 has really come into her own.  It has been something special to see her nurturing him and it has extended to Baby Miss as well.

This house is full of it
