Antics

Almost forgot to share these from August 25. Check out Benjamin's expressions in each of the pictures. My youngest two are a ton of work right now, with LOTS of diaper use between the two of them, but they provide so many laughs, the joy far outweighs the wiping.

Wearing boots, of course.

Pictures to Illustrate Jonathan's Story

Even though this is his third lost tooth, there is just something really important about those top two front teeth...

A Visit from My Nieces

My sister's twins have dropped their morning nap, so that means the beginning of a little more visiting than we've been able to do so far. Amanda and the girls came to see us last weekend. Here are some pictures we took. My three kiddos keep me hopping, but not-quite-walking twins are keeping Amanda busy in a different way!

What Jonathan Typed

I  lost  my  tooth!  This  is  the  story.  I  was  eating  my  lunch  and  I  was  like… huh?  My  tooth  was  out!  I  got  100  cents  from  the  tooth  fairy!  She  also  left  my  tooth  so  I  could  put  it  in  my  lion!  I  also  saw  my first  tooth  in  my  lion!


(It's official...I have given my children the curse of using the phrase, "I was like," in everyday conversation.  As if it's standard English.  Oh, dear.  Anyway, Jonathan wanted me to put this story that he typed on the blog!)

Clearly...

there is no question who these kids belong to!

Ben & Jen

I'm still behind on posting stuff that I don't want to forget about, so here's one from August 31. Jen and Delia came over for a visit, and here is Benjamin snuggling up to Jen while Grace and Delia ran around outside. Super cute!

Cousins (August 30)

I guess you could call these the middle cousins, because the oldest (Jonathan) and the youngest (Charlotte) are missing. This was the end of a quick playtime at my sister's house.

Hello?
