BIG UPDATE!

Easter!

Antonio had tons of fun. Antonio ate tons of candy. Antonio hasn't slept in a week.
You know the other great part about Easter? Grabbing and hugging and smacking and squeezing cousin Elijah.

Know what else is great? Playing with Bonk.
See how much fun it looks like they're having? They were having even more fun than that. Take a look:

But Easter had to end, and so we drove down the island and took the ferry home. It wasn't the first time Antonio rode the ferry, but he was just as intrigued by all the sights.

When we got home, we had a few good days as a family.
But then we had to say goodbye to Mommy because she went to Texas to tell a bunch of people how to make a bunch of money for their worthy causes. So us boys had to fend for ourselves for a few days. We managed pretty well -- the house is still standing, we both have all our limbs, and we didn't lose the dog. (Well, we did lose the dog, but we found her before Mommy got home, so don't say anything, okay. It'll be our little secret.)

Here are some pictures from the boy days.
This one is a self-portrait. He's pretty talented, don't you think?
And then today, before Mom got home, we made our way over to Issaquah to visit with Mamma and cousin Preston. Antonio did a little house work...
And then Antonio showed off his mad basketball skills.

Too bad he's got the parents he's got. He'd probably go pro if it weren't for the whole height (and coordination and athleticism) thing.
