Reincarnated As A Mother

Just Another Saturday (Day 43 in here)

Thanks everyone for your fun comments. I will try and fill requests by getting a picture taken of my belly (which is getting a bit bigger than when I came in-- I now look about 2 1/2 months prego instead of 7 1/2). So these pictures I've put on today are mostly for my dad who is home in Las Vegas holding down the fort and trying (in this market???) to sell their house.
On Wednesday, the girls went to the family "Doll Party". In a nutshell, the little girls bring their dolls for what started out as a Tea Party where they learned etiquette. It was such a hit, we've done it every year with a different theme. For example, years past have been Egyptian Princesses, Medieval/Camelot, World War II Nurses--- where they learned first aid... You get the idea. Totally fun and yes, over the top. This year's theme was Fiesta de Dolls.
This first picture is of the girls all ready to go in our backyard. Everything's so green-- I miss my yard.
The soiree' was held at my Uncle LeeRen (my mom's brother) and my Aunt Beverly's. By the way, the moustache is a fake. And the little girl in the middle is my cousin's daughter (Capri).

Look how cute my Senor Uncle LeeRen and Senorita Beverly are... the hosts of the party.
And here's my lovely mother (Grammy) with the little Senoritas.
Here's Uncle LeeRen "escorting" the girls and "presenting" the girls at the party.
Here's all the cousins. Aren't they cute? They learned how to make tortillas, made woven bracelets, tissue papers flowers for their hair and learned how to do a Spanish dance (which the girls performed for me here in the hospital-- it was hilarious!!).
I just got word I'm being summoned for my ultrasound. So I'll post later.

And as for your mother, now I see where YOU get it. :)

I love the look on Reese's face in that first picture and Uncle LeeRen's 'stache is awesome! And your Mom looks fantastic! I'll bet your Dad is really missing her.
