| Morgan, my brother's fiancee, with my latest niece/nephew belly cooking, and Amarys on her lap. She and my brother came for an overnight visit and we happened to bury Amarys' placenta while they were here. Morgan was curious; Chad was so grossed out he went and had a nap :) |

| My brother Chad with his first niece. Its cute to watch him grow into being a dad...he's SO ready! And so good with kids. My boys run all over him and he just keeps coming up with wild adventures for them... |

| We chose a Magnolia tree to plant over Amarys' placenta. In our front yard (maybe don't tell the neighbours) |

| "Will the worms eat the placenta and make dirt, mommy?" You bet! Homeschooling at its best....to augment that public schooling which certainly leaves out placenta planting.... |

You do a silly photo so they'll do a serious one.
They do a serious photo so they can also do a silly one.
Hope the tree grows tall and mighty!
Such a well-documented family affair. I love it! That is going to be one well-nourished tree!
Love this! Thanks for documenting :) And the picture of your husband's hesitant face made me bust a gut. My husband's face would be posed in the exact same fashion!
love love love these pics....especially Matthews hands right in there! Thats our Matthew:)
I love this! So glad you documented it. I'm amazed at Matthew. That is just so cool that he wants to get right in there and experience it. I miss placentas! (Just the weird thing a midwife-turned-full-time-mommy would say!) :)
I think I'm going to lose my supper. Great pictures Mel! :-) I do believe I'm with your brother on this one - I'd be taking a nap. After Liza was born, my midwife let the kids touch and play with the placenta. I about puked. :-)
So summery! Loving the photos! And you are looking so fabulous, Mel! Healthy, tan, happy, beautiful. And your kids are gorgeous and adorable. Hurray for family!
