The Trio

Today we went to visit some friends who just welcomed a new addition into their lives...sweet baby Marea. The plan was to bring a meal, visit, and take some pictures of Marea. But you see...well...Marea had a little delicate issue going on that inhibited me from really snapping off some close shots...a small matter of pre-teen baby acne.  (When you're a baby, you gotta be flexible with your oh so important photo shoots.)  So I turned my attention on capturing little big brother, James, and big big brother, Ben.


James: master escape artist (engage all door locks), all round tinkerer (engage all toilet seat locks), and inspector (engage all dishwasher locks). If you can't find him he is one of four places: out the front door, inspecting the toilet bowl, inside the dishwasher, or in the toy box. Picture above: priceless.



Ben: exceptional big big brother, master of the top bunk, weed puller, and proud owner of his San Diego Padres pin....the pin he donned this morning in expectation of his picture being taken. He even moved it a bit to the right mid-morning so that the "Life is Good" logo would be unobstructed. I know that he makes his Dad proud wearing it. Very very special.  (Hi Ben!)

 
Marea: beautiful, wearer of pink (no hand-me-downs here!), good sleeper, smiley, cherished little sister. ALL this and more despite her tiny issue.  My favorite part of the day: wrapping her up burrito-style and rocking her while she was just nodding off, then putting her in her basinet and watching her slowly, slowly, blink, blink, off to sleep.  I'll be back Marea. :)
