 Four sweet cousins wearing purple...without planning to "match."

So many cousins waiting to watch the Aquatic Show (Caroline was asleep on Freeman's lap elsewhere).   These were front row seats!

The look on their faces, combined with the (real) sharks in the background, cracks me up.


 This is super under exposed since it was so backlit, but isn't that a great expression.  We were so happy to spend a day at the aquarium with our Aurora cousins.

 Check out Hamilton's face while trying some of our homemade jello (that he "insisted" on buying ingredients for with some treat money).  Oh, he was so disappointed in the end result!  I think there's a lesson in there somewhere.

Let's just pretend it's Thursday, yes?

Veronica loves doing her own hair!

So out of focus, but she was this happy to get her own cup.

I actually have a video that shows this better, but I cannot figure out how to edit it.  If I figure it out soon, there may be an additional post.  No promises.  During a family movie night (yay, Winnie the Pooh), Freeman popped some of his special popcorn.  For the first time, Caroline got her very own little cup full (and by little, I think the cup was able to hold maybe 7 kernels).  She couldn't have been happier to be just like Hamilton and Veronica.

I was showing Hamilton and Veronica a Mr. Roger's song on Youtube the other day.  Hamilton, already wearing a tie with his t-shirt, asked if he had a zip-up sweater like Mr. Rogers.  Sure enough! Before I knew it, both he and Veronica were in character.

We're thankfully just about through a cold around here.  There were several days this week where none of us were up to much.  Which means...building a fort and hanging out in it watching some TV.
