Cousins return!!!

My sister Carrie came back for a quick visit yesterday to see her new niece. Her girls, Laura and Jean Louise, came with her. We were sad to see them leave so quickly today, but they are joining their dad, John, in Pensacola for a spring break visit with their other grandparents. The girls, sister included, all fell instantly in love with their new cousin. Jean Louise rarely left my side, because she was so taken with little Nealy. However, she was forced to play with Jacks as much as possible since he is IN LOVE WITH HER!! I mean it, his cousins are his favorite people on the planet. Every time Jean Louise would settle in on the bed with me to gaze at Nealy, Jacks was in the room tugging at his cousin to come and play, "Come on, Neese, come wit me!" (he calls her Neese - I guess that is his best pronunciation of Jean Louise). I am so ready for Jacks to return to school and his normal routine, but it was worth spending a day at home today to enjoy his cousins. He would have been broken hearted to not have an entire day to play.

Thanks for coming to visit, Westmark girls!!! We are so happy you got to meet little Nealy so soon after her arrival. I can tell people about how perfect she is, but they don't really get it until they spend a little time with her.


Jacks will not stop kissing his cousin Jeanla.....
I LOVE this picture of Sister with Nealy.....
And since Carrie will get on to me for posting a picture of her, here is a picture where I do not look pretty or not-pregnant (just to even things out). Check out that belly!!! No, there really isn't a baby in there - as you can tell from the fact that Sister and Jeanla are holding her. Can you believe that GUT???? That's what you call a Mama body. Nice.....
Actually - it might be a Mama body, but not my mama's body. Check out that little scrawny thing standing next to me.
