mahi mahi!

earlier this week we had a fun night with miss molly (aka mahi mahi). little kyle was in the hospital all week long battling ecoli. it turns out that it was atypical and the doctors couldn't figure out why it was affecting about 11 different infant baby boys. no one has been able figure out the common demonator (half were circumcised, half were on formula, ect). anyway, so molly came and spent a couple of days with us, much to the enjoyment of all the children.





she's a keeper. molly had a great time playing with marcus (she loves babies). and i found out that she likes having her picture taken.



























well, i don't think that we can have a get together of any sort without taking pictures. molly and evelyn love playing together. they don't always get along...but i think it's because they're both still young and very headstrong. evelyn turns into a bossy mom around her (i think it's cause she can't do that to julia or jacob) and molly doesn't go for it (rightly so!). but everyone still had fun. as you can see, they were getting along this night.







i think i've taken so many pictures of julia over the past years that now whenever i whip out my camera, she just assumes "the pose". head tilted off to one side with a close lipped smile. that's my girl. she's an awesome help with marcus. today she started reading him her junie b. jones books. he laughed almost the whole time. :) so precious.







one last one of the crew.
