Aquino Girls

My sister Leigh and her three girls came to visit us in Amarillo last Monday thru Thursday. I am so glad that they got to come and spend a few days visiting Camden and helping out!! I was so sad to see them and Mom leave Thursday. I have to say I have been pretty weepy since then! Poor Cliff must think I am losing my mind. I am so happy but these hormones are on a crazy roller coaster and them leaving town just set me off. Oh my!!

Lerin and Robbyn loved helping feed Pinkie everyday! They could not wait to give her a daily carrot. Pinkie was in heaven with Mom taking care of her. Mom let her out every morning and she just ran the yard all day until she was put up before dark.


Cliff scored major points this week with his neices as well. I do not have the pictures of it on my computer, but he took Lerin and Robbyn to Chuck E Cheese! They came home with bags of cotton candy and a tootsie roll. They were the only ones there that day at 11 on a Wednesday. They had a blast!

Camden has been sun bathing a bit each day to keep the jaundice at bay. His coloring looks great and we aren't concerned at all. Tomorrow we go see his doctor for the first time and then have a photo session scheduled. It will be a busy morning and I am a bit nervious but I am trying to let God take that and I am praying for a happy morning for the three of us.

Can you imagine the wild week we had with this bunch?! We had a blast and the girls were sooo sweet. We definitely had all of them screaming at the same time once or twice! Leigh and Mom were a huge help around the house as I continued to recover. I think I am finally getting back to a somewhat normal state from my surgery. I can still feel discomfort in my incision but overall I feel like I can do alot and for that I am thankful!

Look at how beautiful and grown up this little one is. She is reading a nursery rhyme book here and has so many memorized! She would see the pictures and then begin to recite the ones she knows. I was really impressed. I think she has an excellent memory like her momma. I got her on camera doing a recitation and skit of Little Miss Muffet. I just don't know how to upload those yet. Maybe I'll work on that this week if I get a chance. It is stinkin' adorable!

Below is Camden at 1 1/2 weeks and Aleigh at 6 months. Isn't she cute? She has started chunking up and is a happy baby most of the time giving us the biggest grins!

My sweet Momma and her girls. She is the best NeNe around! I know she must have been exhausted after spending almost three weeks here helping me out and helping with the girls. I am so blessed to have her as my Mom and for her giving up her weeks for us. It was really a gift! And I'm crying again, Ha!, so I think I'll stop now. More later!
