Brother & Sister...

...together at last! (If you don't have a clue what that means, see http://hogardeamor.blogspot.com/2008/12/child-80-arrives.html.)

Here are some better pictures of both....

....when I could convince big brother that nothing would happen to him by standing for just one second by his baby sister.

See? He gets a terribly distressed look when we force ask him nicely to stop playing long enough to stand closer to his sister AND look at the camera (I know, I'm so demanding!! but I think that someday, they just might appreciate us taking the trouble).

Notice the chicken pox spots/sores on his face? Now Toddler J has it and possibly a few more...
(As for the spot on her face, that's from a pesky mosquito that got in under her netting the night before.)

"Ohh!! Another bad hair day!", says Baby C

(How she's changed since her arrival! http://hogardeamor.blogspot.com/2008/08/its-girl.html)
