you might have noticed, when you ask Daniel to smile for a picture, he usually ends up w/ a big cheesy grin and squinting (if not closing) his eyes.  such was the result of a recent picture. i told him to open his eyes...and this is what i got.  :)

then Jeffey wanted to try it out...

photo shoot in the nursery...

i wanted a group picture, then all the kids started posing together...

Taina smiling. :) and Nicot doing that creepy eye roll thing...

Stephania was read for some pics...

Kethia was just enjoying her thumb...

Nicot tried to pose w/ Caleb...but Caleb preferred a picture by himself 

there's that smile again

Jean Baptiste and peterson got together for a picture

uh yeah....LOVE this face of Rebecca...

Jutane wanted to be in the group picture.  not sure who she was talking to, but she was clearly saying "Vini!!"

i've been trying to add pictures to this post for days...no luck. figured i'd go ahead and post these. 

Justin and Peterson got some goodies from Mama and Papa!!  And Cara, Justin seriously carried his bag around for a good 3 days after we gave it to him. it was cute!

i was happy to see Peterson was wearing the "Cars" crocs his mom gave him for his birthday. then i noticed another picture. He was just wearing the "cars" croc on his left foot. something totally different and unmatching on the right! :)

Fun times in the Nursery.

don't want to spoil Michelle's fun and post too many reunion pictures...but i thought i'd give you a sneak peak. 

trying to get Reece's kite to fly...

so my cat was missing for a day and two nights...i thought she was a goner. but Junior saw her wondering the street this morning, and brought her back to the O.  i am happy to have my cat back. she does a lot around here....

getting her beauty sleep. 

watching over the tuna...

watching me work on a financial report.

bible study.

working on her own reports....

time to print. this was her favorite. 

she loved watching the paper come out. she usually attacked it as it came. 

just being cute.

Thanks for all your hard work, Eames.
