We've been waiting for his moment so badly that we we're barely off the plane from Rwanda, and we caught another a few days later to Ohio to see my brother, sister-in-law and their sweet baby girls.
What a delight to get know these tiny humans. Their personalities are shining through, with Miss E's infectious smile and always-moving legs and Miss M's quiet, soulful gaze. It's the first time our kids have met their first-ever cousins. #joy
Quite the reunion with their uncle!
Egads. Look mom, no hands. Miss M is having none of it.
Mademoiselle A is going to be a great babysitter in the future. She loved taking care of the girls. A real natural.
Although truth be told, Master R changed a diaper, Miss A refused. :-)
Hee hee. The walk didn't last long. Skies opened up into huge thunderstorm. New stroller worked great though, babies stayed dry.
No matter that the proud new parents are exactly that: proud new parents. They still cooked us two amazing dinners and had a cake and present ready for Mr R's birthday. I'm so impressed.
I mean really impressed. Yes, I missed the horrible first three months when they cried all night and all day. But these babies are only 5 months old. They are still very young, and my brother and sister-in-law are handling it so well. I know how hard it still must be, but they deserve around of applause for how easy they make it look.
Look at me, all decked out with dangling earrings, sparkly bracket and thin-chained charm necklace. Oh how easily mamas forget the obvious from the earlier years with their babes.
Pre-flight feeding! We are so proud to be aunt and uncle to these wonderful little girls.
Our hearts are full.
