Our Valentines

Here is an updated photo of our little ones. Marcus loves his little sister and is so proud of her. He is so sweet with her. Last Wednesday, I got off work at 7:30 in the AM and went to pick Marcus up at his Grammy's. When we got home we went and woke up Manny and Elaina because he had to say hi to his baby sister and Daddy. After smothering each other with hugs and kisses I ended up laying on our bed with Elaina on my lap and Manny laying on the bed with Marcus on his lap. Elaina, reached over and held Marcus' hand and just started 'talking' for the longest time. It was the cutest thing ever. I hope they always share that close of a bond and fondness for each other. They are our pride and joy and make our lives so happy and sweet.


On Valentines Day we took all 12 grandchildren to Kiddie Kandids to have a picture taken for Grandma Shirley. It was quit the event as well as entertainment. All the mom's were dreading it but they actually did really well. Not one of them was crying! Marcus was so excited to get a picture with all of his cousins. To start with Marcus tries to go through all their names, he starts, "Josh, Dylan, Lala, Megs, Cousins...wait!" Now since there is so many of them, if he's talking to more than a couple it's "Cousins!" It cracks us up.

The back row has Katelyn, 6, Dylan, 3, Joshua, 3 and Marcus, 2 1/2. The middle row has Laura, 6 holding Elaina, 5 1/2 months, Stephanie, 9 holding Justin 3 1/2 months and Lauryn, 8 holding Jaxon who was 4 months old on that day. The front row is Emily, 1 and Megan 2. They are a good lookin' bunch of kids if I say so myself!
