Sheila and Mario are responsible for this little cutie named Joel. He was a little suspicious of me, but he obliged long enough for me to fall in love.
It was a treat to see how our other nephews and nieces had grown since last year. Gracie is now a smarty-pants Kindergartner!
To say that Jacob and Emma were happy to be in back in Arizona is a complete understatement.
Emma made sure she got plenty of Joel snuggles too.
Joel is a very bright and active baby, but Emma did quite well keeping him happy.
I'm so proud of my sweet sister Sheila and her doting husband Mario. They are naturals at the whole parenting thing!
Who wants to get ready for bed when there's so much fun to be had with Papa?
It feels just like our old Sunday night dinners...
One last kiss before you go Joel!

Ahh! Cute pics! Joel loved meeting his Aunt Audrey, Uncle Rick and cousins! It was so fun having you guys visit. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Such a sweet post. I surely hope you and Sheila can get together often when they move East -- just so Joel doesn't miss out on that wonderful Aunt Audrey and Uncle Rick influence, not to mention his terrific cousins Emma and Jake. Oh, it was so good to have you here. Love the song you picked too -- it's one of our very favorites. It always makes Papa cry.
Lovely pictures! Did you take them with your new camera? You guys are so cute.
These are great pictures! The new camera is paying off. It was so fun spending time with your family but not nearly enough time was spent. I think you should let Emma come and stay with us for like a week. I love that girl. She is so sweet and mature. Tell her happy birthday and give her a big hug from all of us. Love you guys!
Oh!!! He is such a cutie!!! So glad that you got to visit while he is still so little. They grow way too fast at that stage . . . I am sure you were counting down the days! Love to you, friend!!!
