Family & Canines

This weekend Aunt Kristen and Uncle Larry came to visit James! It was sooo good to see them and have them around for the extra sets of hands. Larry is a master "swaddle swinger" (we are working on the patent on that one) and Kristen loved to hold her nephew -- which meant Mom & Dad got some much needed extra zzz's :-) Thanks you two!!! Larry is going overseas to Afghanistan in July, so we need to get some more QT in soon with them!One of the many "James" faces we've come to love...usually his lips are a bit more together, but it's so funny, he can get a perfect circle almost...it's one of his "thinking" faces I believe.

Kris and Larry brought their two dogs, Callie and Dutch, with them this weekend, which made Easton EXTREMELY happy -- finally someone here to play with him! The three of them had a ball chasing/pouncing/smelling each other all weekend and Easton slept all day Sunday and Monday after they left from all the hard work of entertaining his canine friends!

Corey and Jenny also visited James on Sunday. I didn't get a picture of Jenny holding him (who had baby custody most of the time) but I did get a good one of Corey *maybe* practicing for herself one day (*maybe*). It was great to see some friends from work and hear about my students (for the first time in 5 yrs of teaching, I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 of my classes I taught -- maybe that's bc I usually teach 5 classes/day, but I like to think it's because of the smaller class sizes and that I've changed as a teacher -- hopefully for the better)! Sorry about the run-on sentences, I do teach Physical Education, not English, so I just go with the flow as I type and use lots of "...."s to continue thoughts ;-)
