Driving My Parents MAD!

I have been trying for years to send my parents to the nuthouse. I tried especially hard through most of the 90's. They are fighters, I tell ya!
This summer we decided to make it a team effort. I started by bringing this cutie into the world.
Don't let those chubby cheeks fool you! You may want to kiss them all day, but she is at the bottom of a long line of needy children who love to play at Grandma Juju's. And the mother of these children doesn't like to cook or clean when every possible body part is leaking something, so said Grandma runs the household for a while. But really, don't you want to kiss those cheeks all day?

Next it was this family's turn to give it a go. They put in a good effort. Just 3 weeks after kissy cheeks was born, they moved...
 Here... (Just 2 miles from me!) And you have never seen people work until you watch Jonn and Judy (AKA mom and dad or Papa and Juju or Presidente y Hermana (that last one is what they usually make us all call them))!
They somehow passed both those tests, so we had to pull out the BIG guns! This one was in the making for many months and darn near did the trick. Just 1 week after the move and 4 weeks after the baby, this couple tied the knot! (that's my little sister, Cara and her new husband Andrew. We affectionately call them Carandrew.) I know what you're thinking "How rude of Kim's sister to get married just a month after she gave birth!" I know, right? I tried to talk her into waiting until Christmas so I could have my pregnancy weight off, but she wouldn't hear of it. She's so selfish!
So let's recap. In 1 month, in our family, we had a baby, a move and a wedding! You'd really think that, at the very least, ONE of them would've given in, but NO! Not even a nervous tick! These people are STELLAR and I love them dearly.

PS Doesn't that picture of them bring tears to your eyes?

PPS After all was said and done, these 2 hopped in the car and just drove whichever direction the wind was blowing. It's so unlike them and we thought they finally cracked, but then we worried they'd come back with matching tattoos, so we've decided to lay off for a few months.

PPPS You do know that 95% of this post is sarcastic, right? Of course not the part about kissy cheeks- that was all truth!
