Halloween 2011

Some nuggets of cuteness in this video...a little long, but worth it. Hope you ate as much candy as I did!  

Sorry for the lack of photos lately. Still haven't bought a new camera, and the phone camera just isn't quite fast enough to get a non-blurry picture of a 3 year old and a 7 month old. Here are a few from the Cider Mill last weekend and playing in the leaves. 

Family Photos

A BIG thank you to Molly and Betsy for doing a little family photo shoot for us this weekend! The weather was perfect, and they did an amazing job.  Of course, Preston got a big 'ol rug burn on his chin the morning of the pictures, so we'll be doing some photoshop work before we print any. But I think they do a good job of making us look like we have it all together! Those who know us know the truth. Here are a few of my favorites!

 

  





Our First Kids

5 years ago, our first kids were born...MC and Phoggy! Such sweet little ladies they were. 

 Sadly, they are now somewhat neglected by us/terrorized by our children. They sleep all day, and talk to us incessantly every morning/night when it is time to eat. They DO still like to cuddle when Preston and Callie aren't around. Actually, MC is very tolerant of both kids. (I learned this today when Callie army crawled over to MC and yanked on her fur.)  And she always lets Preston pet her. He told her today, "MC, you're my best friend." Phoggy is a little bit jumpy, so she doesn't like to be out around them much. But we love them both and will shower them with attention tomorrow!

Ch ch ch changes

A few changes around here lately. Preston is now in a REAL bed! Thanks to the Wilsons and Briscoes for the mattress/box springs, and thanks to Mima for the Spiderman sheets! Here's hoping he doesn't fall out tonight and crack his head open. (Yes, I even worry about him when he sleeps.) He has also been spending a lot (and I mean A LOT) of time in time-out at school and home.  We're trying some positive behavior supports and hoping it helps. Forever a teacher- already implementing a behavior plan with my three year old. Sigh.  Luckily he is still cute and can still be quite sweet.

Our little Callie Rose turned 6 months this past week. Seriously? Seriously. She's changing so much each day and is truly on the verge of full-on crawling. (See video below.) She has the army crawl down pat, and I really can't leave her alone on the floor for more than about 10 seconds. Time to baby-proof the house again. This could prove to be a challenge with the amount of toys (not for babies!) Preston has around here. She is a happy girl and loves bath time, eating, bonding with Mommy in the middle of the night at least once (still), watching her big brother, putting anything and everything into her mouth, and squealing(see video).
