Evelyn - 3 weeks

Technically Evelyn is 3 weeks, 3 days in the pictures, but what are you going to do when the mama is having surgery to remove kidney stones on the day you turn 3 weeks old? To say that Anne had bigger things to worry about than pictures with a bear is an understatement!

Better late than never, I say. And I can't wait to do it all over again in three days!

Not Aunt B again! 

My bow is this big! 

Hmmm, something tells me this lady isn't going away. 

Tiny toes 

Sweet Maggie wanted to join in on the photo shoot.

Wait, she's not ours? 

So did Avery.

She is a touch proud of her little sister.

Adventures in Babysitting

Since Anne is extremely busy with those adorable twins, I have offered my services to blog about her babies when I get to spend time with them.

This morning Frances and I got to babysit for them while Anne ran to the Doc in the Box (another sinus infection).  They spent the morning keeping me on my toes, but we had a blast.

When I got lunch together for Frances, I decided to blend some of it up for the babies.  On the menu:  pork chops, rice, gravy, and green beans.  Wonderful whole, so it should be wonderful blended, right?

I started with Avery since she will eat anything, and got the funniest reaction.

All ready to eat with Maggie batting clean up!

Aunt B, what is that stuff you are trying to feed me?

Really?

Gag me!

Aunt B, I see Avery's reaction.  You must be crazy if you think you can get me to eat this!

Yuck!

Avery, despite her reaction to each bite, would open wide for a fresh bite everytime I offered.  She is a soldier when it comes to eating!  Riggs did try two bites, but after that he hid his face from me.  I had to earn his trust back, but he eventually ate his normal baby food from me.

Sorry kids for subjecting you to this nasty meal.  I promise to be "Fun Aunt B" the next time we hang out.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT come over to the Ryan House...

Unless you want to get sick! So far we have one baby with an ear infection, another baby with a double ear infection, one mommy with 101.8 fever and one daddy with 101 fever. Thank goodness the in laws are in town and can help take care of the babies. Not sure how we would have gotten through the day - did I mention Dearie is sick too!
