Family cuties...

We're getting to spend lots of time with Jake's little cousins while his mom and dad are away.  We popped in for a quick bite to eat with them early yesterday evening.  They were both bathed and in their jammies early and happy to play a bit before their dinner.  Bianca is just too sweet.  She's so soft and gentle next to the two boisterous boys.  She doesn't like getting into trouble though and as soon as she's upset her chin starts to wobble.  Makes you just want to cuddle her forever.  She had a wobbly moment looking at pictures on the wall of mommy and daddy.  She is the picture of innocence and it's hard to believe that one day she'll grow up and be a teenage girl.  Poor Paul...

Once we'd got him clean and in his jammies and he realised that it really wasn't bed time, Corky was happy to play a bit longer.  He's super possessive over his toys at the moment, we can hardly look at them without getting into trouble.  He let Jake help him open his new plane and Jake put it together for him.  While he would smile beautifully for the camera this time, he couldn't take his eyes off his new DVD...

 Jake has been super good with his cousins.  It's funny how I always worried that he'd be very jealous of his cousins taking over my parents home since it was his home for so long, but absolutely loves having his cousins there.  Silly boys realised that they could both do the same thing with their tongues...

 Jake loves Bi too, but she doesn't make as much noise as Connor, so she tends to be a little left out of their boyish games.  He speaks so gently to her though (most of the time) and he really does adore her.  Since he's never experienced siblings, I'm so glad for him that he is so close to his cousins..

 My mom made us yummy fish for supper and Bi LOVED it.  She wasn't even keen on her fruit after the fish...

 I love babies chubby, dimpled hands, even when they're grubby...

 Turns out that Bi wanted to feed herself.  After about 8 pieces of fish, she tackled the fruit... 

 After which she had cottage pie.  This girl doesn't have an appetite problem. See ma?  I'm happy!!

And that's that.  We saw them for fried eggies this morning.  Connor was up really early this morning though and definitely climbed out of the wrong side of his bed.  He was GRUMPY, but perked up a bit before we left and still demanded his hug and kiss on his forehead from Jake.
