Up too late

It has been a while since my last post and I figured I would forgo sleep this evening to post something new. I went to DC last weekend to visit the college roomies and their babies (I think we all know that's the real reason I went). Either way, fun was had by all. Especially Lainey! She got her ears pierced. I couldn't believe that "our first born" actually did it and without a single tear! It took about an hour walking around the mall to let her "think about it" (i.e. build the courage) but she was such a trooper.

She picked out heart earrings for Valentine's day. Super cute. So naturally, Aunt Jes took her to build a bear to celebrate. ;o) I think I cemented my position as best aunt in the universe. Look at those cute little hands!

Sticking with our ritual, we get a charm from Pandora each visit. We picked out a charm with hearts to commemorate our weekend with Lainey. Great memories!

Me and James...I'm such a natural ;o)

Lainey and her "aunt britt, i mean jes, i mean the dark haired aunt that plays with me." LOL!  Below is a pick of Evie, she was a little unsure of her aunt jes at first, by the end we were BFFs. Isn't she beautiful?!?

Britt and Tara took the good pictures with the real cameras. I was packing light for TSA. Except for the dog poo I stepped in that morning and totally missed ("what the heck is that smell?!?") until I got to security. Take that TSA! I swear, I'm going to end up on their persons of interest list if I keep it up. ;o)
