Hi All......
What a nice relaxing day we had - Joey and Alyssa finally met their new baby cousin Katrina and they just adored her. These days we never really know what to expect with our four year old and almost three year old as it seems that they are always testing the waters with some new behavior - sometimes we laugh and other times we just walk away and try to act like they aren't ours (too bad that they look like a little Phil and Jeanine- so there we are stuck). Our Alyssa has been carrying around a tiny picture of Katrina for days and we have taught her "This is Katrina, I don't hit her" so she remembered and was on her best behavior with her new, very sweet, very tiny cousin. Joe loved her and sat immediately and played as if he had known her all along - but, then again Joe is a lover - and our little peace maker. We had a nice lunch, learned about our new little family member and the children ran together. All good things must come to an end - our little girl was fading fast from her prior day of excitement so we made our exit. Alyssa kissed all three dogs. Katrina kissed Joe. Jeanine kissed Alicia. And Phil wanted to kiss Dustin ......just kidding. Alyssa told Dustin "That was a great DINNER" and we made our way home. On the way home we talked about our cousin and how much we "LOVE" her and Alyssa whacked sleeping Joe with her new Filipino made fan she got from Alicia and got in trouble - that was how we knew we were home. We had such a nice day and wish we lived closer so we could do this more often. Enjoy these pictures - they weren't easy to get with 2, 3, and 4 year olds - notice how nice the dogs posed. :)

I like to call these pictures XL, XXS, and Small. I think you can all figure out who is XXS. Ha! XL and Small are still talking about their baby cousin - we had such a good time, and our little cousin is sweet as can be. Alyssa says "I miss Trina" and Joey says "Meeee too!" We are all happy that she is part of our family.
