Just to give you a smile...

Hopefully this will make some of you grin, smile or maybe even laugh out loud. :)

(If you're wondering what that is in his lap, it's my niece's cheerleading trophy.)

Such big girls!

A few weeks ago, on a rainy afternoon, Karina and Aidan came over to play. For most of the afternoon, Kara and Karina argued over toys and there were a few tears here and there. However, at the end of the day, they were getting along so well and when we went up to check on them because it was so quiet, this is what we saw...

TOO CUTE!

Perspective

Ok, if you just read my previous blog about my sadness that Ethan is growing so fast, I guess it's not so bad if you see this:



And then see it from this view (6 foot 4 inches, mind you :))






AAhhh...he really IS my teeny, tiny baby :)

Getting bigger....

I have tons of pictures to upload but no patience to sit here and pick them out and wait for them to upload...I'll do it sometime soon. For now, I'm just sad because my TEENY, TINY, WITTLE BABY is now in his CRIB!! Well, guess he's not so tiny after all. Yeah, he started turning to his side in the bassinet and so it's time. I have to go since at this very moment he's in before-mentioned crib screeching for me! :) Bye for now....

Cute kid photos

I took these photos a few weeks or so ago after church. The kids were being silly while we were putting stuff in the trunk of the van. Yes, Noah crossed his eyes on purpose! :) Noah actually took the one of me and Scott...he did a good job!
