Family Time Continues!

Carter is getting along with his baby sis. And by getting along with, I mean mostly ignoring. He asks about where she is sometimes, he knows her name, but when I bring him over to her and show him Arden, he eyeballs her for a second and walks away to do something else. What can you do with a baby? he seems to say.
All of us together for a second... before Carter scampers away again. Arden never even knew we were taking pictures.
Arden enjoying a little snuggle time with Uncle Krin! Krin dropped by for a short visit this weekend just as he got back to the States from Turkey. Krin knew how to keep his nephew from feeling jealous.... he brought Carter a bunch of books and an awesome train set!
Krin is a natural! We told him he should have a couple of these things. Of course, there's a couple things he needs to do first.....
Hunter's parents, Mike and Betty, came down on Thursday for a 2-day visit. Betty was estatic to have her first granddaughter... she always wanted a girl of her own, but had to give up that dream after having her third boy. She was instantly in love with Arden and was a big help holding her whenever there was a need. Mike also enjoyed the kids but was a huge help to Hunter. Together they planted nearly two thousand onions and repotted all of Hunter's tomatoes.
More hangout time for Arden in Uncle Krin's lap! Mmmm.... comfy.
Carter got to try on Krin's shoes. Maybe someday they'll fit!
Oh dear. I think I'm getting sleepy again. Must...stay... awazzzzzzzzzzzzz.
It's hard to believe that we were playing outside in short sleeves just a few days ago. Now it's nearly freezing outside! And it's been raining for days, with pretty much more rain in the forecast.
Zzzzzz. Wha? Oh, yeah. I'm getting up. Be right there. Just going to shut my eyes for a seconzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Arden has quite a hat collection. It seems impossible that someone with more than 10 hats wouldn't have a single one that can stay on the head for more than 10 minutes. They just slide off of her downy head fuzz.
Arden takes her first bath. This is from the previous week when Deann and Greg were here. Deann helped hold her while Cierra washed.
I made fun of Cierra for buying this expensive bucket specially designed to bathe babies... but it did enable me to get this cute feet picture during the first bath.
Carter's been working with sidewalk chalk. He likes to pick up colors and make 2 or 3 slightly curved lines, then move on to the next color. Our driveway just got a lot more festive!
Cierra's such a babywearer... Under 2 weeks old and Arden is already a fashion accessory.
Carter walks his "balance beam" outside. He's getting ready to show off for Aunt Kaelie when she comes to visit this weekend!
Snuggle time with daddy! Apparently I produce the best swaddle.
Finally wide awake! Now, which one are you? The one with milk or the one who just bores me to sleep?
Carter's taken to eating cream cheese toast all by himself. This could get a little messy....
Arden enjoys a little grandma time. And Grandma enjoys a little Arden time.
It's a mutual thing. Next week.... more cuteness!
