8-year anniversary and a visit from Darius

 Alice picks huge bouquets of clover flowers everyday and brings them inside. At least she doesn't get mad when we throw them away.
 Cute snuggly blanket time!
 Blah!
 Grandma Terisa sent gifts from her trip to the Georgia Aquarium: clownfish pj's for Alice, sequin jellyfish pj's for Grace, and a diver suit bib for Charlie!
 "Would you like a spot of tea?"
 Cousin time with baby Darius.
 Cute little boy!
 Poor Alice was so sad when we told her to wash off some of her make-up before going to get babysat. She had done it all by herself without use of a mirror. So I said, "Go look in the mirror, and see if you think maybe you should wash some of it off." She looked in the mirror, and with those big, sad eyes said, "But I look beautiful!" You can't argue with that. We left it.
 All dolled up to get babysat.
 Charlie doesn't need make-up to look cool.
 Ready for our anniversary date! 
 Gussied up for Paul.
 And he got gussied up for me!
 8 years of wedded bliss.
 And counting!
 Taking the Metro into DC.
 Steak and frites.
 Paul with the restaurant sign: Medium Rare.
 Daddy horse! I don't think he's gonna be able to fit another one on there...
 Our new rental!
 Alice takes a picture.
 And then Grace.
 Four cousins in pajamas.
 Alice has a hard life.
 Whitney and baby D.
 Paul's baby is just slightly bigger.
 He loves his mommy.
Just chillin'.
