Backtracking -- Dallas in May

Aunt Jimmie holding Cody with Calvin nearby. The boys got to meet lots of cousins, their aunts Jimmie and Libby, and uncle Doyle. We stayed with Don, Kay and Lexi for the first part of our visit, then went and stayed with Diane (Dee Dee) and Tack. Diane sure can sing a baby to sleep. Calvin was yelling DeeDee before we left, he sure liked the Bible songs she sang for him.

Helping me make a special batch of chocolate chip cookies. These are the peanut, tree nut, dairy, and egg free variety... and they're actually yummy. Two dozen rarely last more than a couple days in our house!

Janet going away dinner. Too bad I forgot my wallet that night. I miss you Janet and Jacoby. We wish you were still here in Colorado.

I was showing Calvin how to do self portraits this night. He thought it was pretty fun to see the picture in the camera afterward. And he would point and say "Mommy, me!" And look at that pink tile in the background - that is the bathroom wall. Someday, it will be gone.

Happy brothers.

Backtracking -- April 2010

The brothers.

Sleeping on the chair.

The close up. I love the hand under the cheek.

Cody sleeping with Dad. Still a little peanut. Funny how perfect the nickname peanut seemed for him. Calvin was the football.

Backtracking -- gas

The peanut. A moment of pure bliss (aka gas). What a sweet baby. Wade took a great picture of a sleeping Cody.

Backtracking -- no smiles

There will be no smiling by Calvin for this picture. Forget it.

Backtracking - Calvin and Cody

Big brother Calvin with his little brother Cody. Cal loves to give Cody hugs and kisses and has liked sitting with him since the day he came home.

backtracking... night night kisses

A very tired Calvin giving his little brother a night night kiss.

Calvin giving Grandma kisses night night. We were very blessed to be able to have Grandma here when Cody was born. She stayed with me at the hospital when I needed her to and she stayed with Calvin when I needed her to. It worked out really well for us to have Grandma here with us that week. I was very sad to see her go and have missed her ever since.
