Another Doting Mommy Alert!

I just cleared the digital and wanted to share some of the photos with you. At least I give you fair warning when all I will be doing is sharing photos and/or anecdotes of my fuzzy family, right? :)

Here the twins, aka the *Terrible Two,* have some quiet moments together. Those quiet moments don't happen too often unless they are sleeping. I have two *very* energetic baby boys ~ and considering how pitiful they both were not too long ago, I am thrilled and thankful that they are so rambunctious now! :) In the middle picture, you may notice the nick next to Deuce's eye. That's a battle scar from one of his wrestling matches with Trey. As they get older ~ and get regular pedicures ~ they don't play quite so roughly. :)





Melanie is eleven years old now and not entirely happy about the new additions. She tolerates them better than Elly Fae, not so well as Joey and Cheslie do, but if they get too close to her, she does hiss and otherwise show her displeasure. Therefore, I knew there might be some trouble brewing because both she and Trey like to sleep in front of the TV in my office. Much to my surprise, they shared the space. Well, kinda. Trey sneaked in while Melly was sleeping. Not too long after these photos were taken, Melly woke up and wasn't so agreeable about finding another fluff of love there. :)





Deuce absolutely, positively worships his big brother, Joey. Until Trey joined the household, Deuce followed Joey around like a shadow, even to the point of standing between Joey's front legs when Joey was trying to drink. Joey has been fairly good-natured about it all, though sometimes he'll growl his displeasure. However, Deuce mostly ignores it. Both he and Trey know that Joey is a gentle, sensitive giant who would never hurt anyone intentionally ~ so, no, Joey isn't licking his chops prior to chomping down on Deuce in the first picture. :) Deuce still breaks into loud purrs whenever he even sees his *big bubby.* Though Joey doesn't always like to share his sleeping space, Deuce will inch ever closer until he's close enough to be content. :)
