All Things Brother

We've caught some cute ones lately of the three brothers extraordinaire.

There's the brother sandwich:
(yes, Baby J is on the bottom and smiling!)
The "rub a dub dub three brothers in a tub":
And the "can they really all fit on there?" brother rocking chair shot:
As you can see, all is fabulous here in Gasperini-Ville this Monday. The arrival of my parents last Friday evening and the end to GG's work week brought SUCH relief to this mono mama! Mimi and Papa and great friends in the area had been doing an amazing job keeping things afloat, but round-the-clock help was in order!!! Thankfully, the weekend of rest and relaxation has calmed my sore and swollen throat and given me the beginning of a slight spring in my step!! Venturing out this morning with our M to preschool and the post office, I almost felt like a new woman only to return and sleep for the next 2+ hours. :) It is going to be a nice, gradual return to normalcy.

Praise God for family during times like these, huh?!
I want to give a quick shout out to my beloved parents on their 40th wedding anniversary yesterday! Woo hoo! We celebrated with roses, champagne, and ice cream sundaes. They are so good to spend such a monumental day helping us. I hope to be half the parents they are to me!

Thanks for checking in on us. You are cherished. God bless.

Glad you are recovering...love the pictures. I just returned from my grandmother's funeral and am still in awe of her life raising ten kids, nine of which were boys! Can you imagine piling that many more boys in the rocking chair:)
