Easter Pictures

My aunt Sheila and cousins Lucas and Elena stayed at my mom's house for Easter.  They were visiting for a week from California.  We took tons of pictures!  I hadn't seen them in years, so it was nice to catch up and to introduce them to my new little family.  

Here is my happy son:

Snack time!  Aunt Sheila munches on Easter candy, while Mom opts for sliced tomatoes.  In this respect, I don't take after mi madre.  I certainly wasn't wired with enough will power to eat vegetables when the house is full of chocolate...

I offer my little guy a mirror every now and then.  Just thought he might want to see what all the fuss is about.  

Little people draw big crowds.  Lucas, Evan and my mom hang out with Linc in my living room.

Here's me with my gorgeous cousin Elena!

This is one of the last pictures I took of my brother before he chopped off all his hair.  Now he's sporting a magnificent faux hawk

.  

And here we have Lincoln taking a keen interest in his grandma's cards while playing Apples to Apples.  

Still Apples to Apples-ing.  I guess Linc teamed up with both grandma and grandpa this time.

My husband and I, best feet forward.  

This lovely lady is my mother.  Pretty much the most beautiful woman out there.  

Ahhhh, yes.  This photo is included to demonstrate what I deal with on a daily basis.  Can you blame me for not taking up jogging while I'm still breastfeeding?  Lets just say that we're hoping for a downsizing at the milk factory someday very soon.  

My baby and his tunes.  It has recently occurred to me that we should provide him with something other than radio hip hop.  Enter Baby Einstein!

Ok, he's only 4 months old, so no-- he did not stand up at the edge of his crib all by himself.  He did stay put, however, when I placed him there.  I snapped this photo to commemorate Lincoln's first application of sunscreen.  

On our way to church on Easter Sunday.  

Here's the handsome fellow in his Easter overalls.  

Two very attractive individuals:

And last but not least, here's Lucas, Aunt Sheila and Lincoln again.  They're all bathed in the angelic glow of afternoon sun.  

I'm so glad that my relatives came to visit!
