May to June 2010

5/29/10: Memorial Day Weekend, we all converged on my parents' house and had a very productive family photo shoot. Here is Grandma with a couple of grandkids.

We put the babies together in the playpen to see if they would fight.
They spent a lot of time not looking at each other.

The family unit!

The Dads with their babies.

Add Cara.

Wives, too! Note that everyone looks very happy, except poor Owen, who seems to be anxious about something. Ev often assumes he is concerned about global warming.

I love--love--this picture. Look at his little face!

May 31, 2010, we spent Memorial Day at Aunt Claire's house!
Owen spent some time in only a diaper--and sometimes a bib.

I got some really good pictures of Owen being happy in his bouncer, but unfortunately I decided to take them without the flash, so they're blurry.

Dressed again, but still happy:

6/1/10: Graduation day! Here all the Lollipops are singing the "Bushel and a Peck" song.
Cara, way in the back, is the one whose head is popping up above everyone else's.

The graduating class in their mortarboards.

Cara receives her special certificate "for achievement in painting."

In order to receive their diplomas, the children had to perform one task: shake Miss Grace's hand.

With one suavely raised eyebrow, Owen witnesses the proceedings.

With the day finally over, Cara spends some time reading to Owen.

6/13/10, Owen gets into his Jumperoo for the first time.

The jumperoo has adjustable height, but the little guy still needed a pillow under it.

6/19/10: Owen and Mommy have some nice bottle time.
