Happy.

For a baby that loves nothing more than to 'sit-up' there is no better invention than the Bumbo seat. He is so happy to be able to be up and looking around - mostly so he can watch Kali and Corey run around and play. And I'm happy to have free hands a bit more during the day!

Dancing

Apologizing when he accidentally hurt her while dancing...that happens a lot! :)

Look-alikes.

Newborns


Kali - 9.07.03 & Kyle - 7.21.08



When people see Kyle the first thing they say is how much he looks like his sister. Please ignore the bad scanning from Kyles pic above.

We miss you daddy!

First Snow (that stayed) 10/24/08

The kids are a little more excited than I am that winter is already here. It's been snowing on and off since the SIXTH - too early!!!

Reading Together

Scholastic

Kids books are one of my weaknesses! I LOVE book orders! And now that Kali is in school we get them every month. Many of the above were supposed to be birthday gifts for Corey next month and Christmas for the kids...but I was so excited and couldn't wait to read them together! The kids personal faves are the ones that came with CDs. Every morning they sit down and listen to their books - turning the pages when they hear the ding; they love it that they feel like they're reading by themselves...it's so cute!

Don't Ask.

Just Because.

More Smiles





Family Movie Night

We enjoyed a quiet evening at home this Friday. And yes, we do keep our house on the cool side but it's not THAT cold - the kids just got new winter hats and won't take them off. Hopefully they'll keep it up and when it is actually cold enough (quite possibly tomorrow) that the hats are needed it won't be a fight to get them on.

Artist of the Family

Kali's main birthday gift this year was an art easel. She LOVES art - there are not many minutes in a day when she's not coloring, cutting, pasting, painting, or "crafting" (scrapbooking in her own special way)! I guess that's a good thing since we've had lots of "play inside days" this summer and now winter is almost here!
