Sunday at Grandma's

Big news on the Mavy front; Ben's sister, Vanessa, had a baby boy yesterday, and Ben's sister-in-law Kimmi, had a baby boy today! Nathan is going to have a lot of fun with those two in years to come. Yet another sister-in-law, Ruth, is due to have a boy in June. This is the year for boys, I guess.
I got to watch Ruth's 3 youngest for a day while she was in Utah. It was kind of wild having 7 kids 5 and under in the house. The kids had a blast. Liberty was so excited to have someone smaller than her to boss around. Nathan's not really old enough to pay attention when she tells him what's what. Aaron, however, is just below eye-level to Libi - the perfect height for establishing dominance. Unfortunately for Liberty, he has 3 older sisters and knows just how to deal with bossy female types. He really wanted to go outside and play while my kids were eating breakfast. Liberty knew this was not on the agenda -
* A side note. Libi is sitting next to me, and sees the pic of Aaron trying to get out. She's flipping out - "nope! a door! hurry! No!!!"
Ben recently picked up this bike for Eve at a garage sale, and gave her a lesson on Sunday. It's really too big for her to learn on, we'll have to keep our eyes open for another one that's smaller. Eve doesn't care. Daddy was already her hero, but she sure loves him buckets when he teaches her something new.

I have too many kids to pick out their clothes anymore unless we're going out somewhere. This is what a 4-year-old considers the height of fashion. I have to say, it's pretty adorable.

This is Liberty realizing that the bike is not "MINE!" She still believes if she wants it enough, that makes it hers.

And here's the boy enjoying a little sunshine and attention from Sadie during the riding lesson.
