baby justin

Baby Justin (and family) leaves tomorrow morning.  We've been loving his sweet newborn-ness, that is quickly fading to infant-ness.

Mia is most interested in her new cousin.

 

Though, judging by the expression on his face, I'm not sure he shares her affection.  Yet.

Laci is only mildly concerned with the new little person.  She prefers older cousin Ryan who can run and yell and play with her.  She has been having a great time, and even let Aunty Jenny dress her in a frilly skirt.  Something I haven't done without her throwing a fit about in months.

We will miss them.  They only live a few hours away, but it is just far enough that a day trip isn't convenient.  Raising babies is so much more fun when you're all in it together.  And that reinforces my belief that families should live together in villages.
