This girl was here, getting babysat. She’s good. A cold virus took her out on Monday, but by the end of the week, she was fine again. Yep, working the play doh. Today she wrote on the wall at an appointment with crayons. Thank goodness diaper wipes scrubbed it off. We are thinking about tile […]

Dan and Alicia took the kids to Florida for a vacation with Kirsten. They all had a great time. Now it’s Sunday night and tomorrow is back to reality. Thanks for sharing all these awesome pictures. Love, Mom

Even when Heidi was born,

They all went over to my parents to trick or treat and eat left overs from the two weekend parties. I had to stay back and work, but that’s okay. I put candles in a couple extra pumpkins, set them in the windows, and put the bowl of candy on the front steps with a
We weren’t even sure we were going to do it this year. Nobody will be home on Halloween to answer the door for trick or treaters, plus we were tired, and the whole thing seemed unnecessary. But I asked the kids if they wanted to carve pumpkins, and to my surprise they DID. Maria and
Today was the day, and everything went very well. Tim and his godparents: I wanted a picture of Tim with his cake. Foolishness took over, and it was hard to straighten up. Gifts, with his nephew recording: She’ll sleep like a rag doll on her mom, but wakes up instantly if she tries to slip
