Earleys in Town

My mother's youngest sibling, Bill and his wife Karen came to town yesterday. Their family is based in Winnipeg, but currently Bill is on a contract over in China! He's worked all over - Florida, Las Vegas, Manitoba, and now China. How worldly! Of course since they were in town, the family got together to see him. They're leaving tomorrow. Here are some pictures of our evening! (Oh and pat me on the back for blogging this within HOURS of coming home from the do. heh heh)


Here is Hayden sitting so cutely in his toy box. This was before we left for Penny's house and the get-together.



Sage made strange the minute he got in the door, and cried his head off. Too much loud laughter and strange people for a little baby. Karen tried not to take it personally. Here Sage is beginning to warm up to her.



Auntie Sandy with Hannah. She and Sage mostly took turns crying, with very few overlapping moments. Hannah that is, not Sandy. Sandy did very little crying at the party.


Hayden and Karen hit it off very well. Here they are the moment before a kiss.


Hayden's job at the party was to hand people this blue toy telephone. Mostly everyone obliged him by talking to whoever was there. Most of the time the call was for Hayden. This is Uncle Bill taking the important call.. probably from China.


Granty Penny and Gramma/Granty Sandy thought it would be cute to sit the babies next to each other to play. The babies of course freaked out and both started wailing. Oh well! Notice that Sage and Hayden are dressed in the same orange t-shirts and similar army pants. I am a corny mom :oPTwo Uncles onna couch. Big one Gerry, little one Bill, Hayden observing.


Bill: "Wait, let me take my glasses off!" Bill: "There, now you can see my pirate expression." Karen: "Look happy or I'll slap you" (true story) After the pose, their natural expressions.

Sandy must be bouncing a baby. It's in her blood.

Hayden was facinated by this cat toy. The ball scoots round and round, and cannot come out of its little track. At one point the cat and Hayden were both playing with it. Look forward to some video footage, which I'll post after Bill and Karen upload it to YouTube.
