Cousins, Pops and Cuteness

A couple years ago, I had lunch with someone I had worked with on Capitol Hill. He told me that his favorite thing about having two kids was watching them interact, especially when they would take care of one another.  I totally agree.  Anders and Ian have reached the age when they can play near each other and get excited about being around their sibling/cousin.  It is a bit blurry, but here is a picture of the kids playing together (with Petunia too).

Pops has come for a visit and to help Kathy and James watch Ian during end of the year school chaos.  He is staying with us and Ellis and Anders are loving it.

And the following are just some fun shots of Ellis and Anders looking cute, as well as Ellis and Anders looking cute together.
