A family weekend

It was great - my brother John came out for a job interview (apparently it took like 15 minutes total once he got there and pays WAY more than he thought - so we will see) on Sunday afternoon and got to spent the night. Doesn't he look handsome! (hint hint to all my single friends out there...) My seesters Holly (newly from NYC) and Heather (and Emma) came to spent the night - SO much fun!!

He got to bond with the girls:

Please note that yes, we know Ashley looks bad.

She (Friday/Saturday) started using her tongue to move food around in her mouth (yah!) but, unfortunately, most of us learn this when we do NOT have TEETH. So our poor little monkey has two HUGE welts on her tongue and doesn't even want to open her mouth (maybe also because I haven't been opening my mouth for days on end, much, lately). She will drink a bottle of milk (hey, whatEVER it takes) (with drugs in it). Poor little plunko. She should be much better tomorrow - if not we will consult the doc again.

Ellie LOVED playing with Emma (yes, I know she looks like she is on major drugs here, but remember, she doesn't like to look at the camera) - they are so cute together. (Ashley's major joy today was laying on the couch, cluthing a sippy-cup).

Here is a pic of Ellie riding her bike down the street - she does good to stop right at that 'for sale' sign and come home.
I DO have pictures of Ashley alone, but they are on Josh's phone and he is working nights again this week so I will post them later.
