Girls and kids...

 Last Monday, Rosie, Rylee, Jake and I went through to visit Jo and the kids for an early supper.  Paul was away and Gareth was working so it was just us sisters and our kids.  I have been lucky enough to see quite a bit of Rylee, but Jo lives quite far away, so I'm kind when she's around and I try not to hog him.

Bi was very excited when Rylee woke up and she could help feed him...

 A big smile from Corky, he's learning...

Jake was helping (read doing) Corky with his new Lego.  Jake went back to school last Monday and fell twice in one day - the first one because he forgot he'd left his desk seat up and has a nasty gash in his back from a bolt and the second from running in the playground.  My little monkey boy...

 Corky was actually too busy with his DS to care...

 Bi getting time with Rylee...

 She feels so grown up holding him "all by herself"...

 Corky managed to get some help with his game - I think Jake was only to happy to get his grubby paws on Corky's new toy...

 We went to Jo's local Ocean Basket for an early supper with the kids.  They've got a nice play park for the kids to keep themselves busy before their supper arrives.  Corky also got a special cuddle from Rylee...

 Heehee - check those "little" cheeks!  Rylee's been quite sick with a tummy bug (he's had rotavirus) and Rosie's been such a great mommy.  She picked the bug up so quickly, that Rylee's actually sailed through it all.  She's had to keep his fluids up, so he's been eating.  A lot.  I can just about bite those cheeks!  And that little double chin is too sweet - I used to have one of them too.  This baby is just so precious...

 And he's very strong and alert and growing as fast as his cousins...

 Does his hair look a little bit red to you?  Rosie's hair was really red as a little girl and has gotten darker as she's got older... I need to scratch out an old pic to share here...

 It's hard work being a baby...  all that eating and sleeping and cuddling and keeping mom and dad awake all night... yawn...

 Connor was so precious with Rylee - he was quite tickled by all Rylee's expressions...

 Bi was too busy colouring in, she'd had her turn at home...

 And Jake was enjoying his shake...

I'm nearly up-to-date now... just one more bunch of pictures to go...

Love,
