Cousins

The bad news this week is that I lost my cell phone on the way home from work on Monday. The good news is that my fancy new cell phone takes fantastic pictures. Between my phone and new digital camera, I think we'll have plenty of pictures of baby joey for years to come.


Baby joey has four loving cousins anxiously awaiting his arrival - Alex (8), Mackenzie (5), Ian (2) and Lindsey (1).

As these four little people are my favorite in the world, I spend loads of time with all of them. Each have offered some fun words of wisdom...

Lindsey isn't quite sure what is happening yet, but she loves babies and digs all the baby things around the house. She loves to give hugs and kisses, and I imagine she will shower them on our little one.


Ian loves to talk to baby joey already, and asks often if "the baby is kicking". He has fun digging through all the fun stuff that came from the shower. He affectionately gives Joey "kisses" and loves to show Nene the baby in his tummy. He's also excited to have Nene (and by default baby joey) living with him for a little bit. We'll see what he thinks when this baby actually invades his house!

Alex and Mackenzie (of whom I don't have photos yet because they are much quicker than their little sister and cousin) are both excited for the baby's impending arrival as well. Both have suggested that we name the baby after an apostle, which tells me their Catholic schooling is working :)

I hope to have some more photos of various family members (and maybe mommy) up soon!
