thursday: thru yet?

woke up this morning. wondered how to pass the time. annabelle helped me clean underneath our bathroom sink. she discovered this little manicure set that cathy gave her back in september. so, after we finished our work, we had a little manicure party.

hellooo...

daylight saving time! how we love you!

where is our baby?!

waiting...waiting...waiting.

from this week

grandma let us borrow "loupin' louie" & we played it one night while she was here, rescuing us from illness overload.


and then there's violet's happiest time of the day: bathtime.

The Four of Us

Here's the four of us in our newly painted stairway...we love the chocolate milk color!! This is Maddie after she has thoroughly enjoyed her ravioli! She liked it so much she even licked the bowl...hence the sauce on her nose and forehead!

ode to joyce

thanks to joyce for coming to chatham for 24 hours. for doing all of our laundry, playing with the girls, & kindly sending me outta the house for some time alone. i feel better already.

violet

vi mae has been making this face lately. it makes me laugh.

she's started saying, "i love you" repeatedly & thinks tooties are quite possibly the funniest thing, next to annabelle.

bearsley

wah, my ice cream's cold!

we were trying to catch violet in the act of crying...just to be crying...but she wasn't having any of that. so, here's our little baby...while she's still the baby.

i cannot believe we're going to be a family of 5. unbelievable.

Christmas pics!

I know I've been slacking on my posting so i figured what better way to get back into it than Christmas photos!

Finn just couldn't wait to rip into that gift, and two hands weren't enough.












Cameron is getting more joy out of the book than Caroline apparently!












Maddie doesn't like my flash.













Anyone remember this scene?
