Happy To You

The perfect greeting for any holiday!

Little Rascals

Dear Caroline, isn't it enough that you can climb into your high chair all by yourself? Do you really, really need to climb our stools, too? They just make you so tall! You do look pretty proud of yourself, though. And, Macie, how did your high chair get all the way over there?!

Caroline woke up before Macie from her nap and was playing, and then decided to go get her sister up, "Macie! Wake UP!" and read to her from the laundry basket. Because, why not?

Silly girl has climbed in the basket and then covered herself with books!

mmmm, yogurt

Caroline loves her yogurt so much, she smears it all over her face and even uses it as a conditioner for her hair!

Macie loves her yogurt so much, she uses TWO spoons to eat it :)

Whidbey Island in February

We went to Whidbey Island with Max, Ben, and Emily for the long weekend and had a great time exploring the beaches (Macie even accidently explored Puget Sound when she tripped and fell in!), going out to lunch for Valentine's Day, playing, and of course, taking a bath together (blackmail in a few years, kids!). It was great and relaxing, as always....

All three kids were sitting in the left half of the bath - a little squished! But, they didn't mind :)

Macie likes her fries....

and ketchup

So, does Caroline!

Max is ready for a nap!

Happy Valentine's Day, Daddy!

Caroline had a little owie.... she loved the ice pack!

Not Caroline!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, obviously, M and C are more interested in their book and train than in telling me how much they love me! Good thing their shirts say it all - "Mom's little love bird" and "My heart belongs to dad!" Ahhhh :)

Impromptu Sleep-over with the Boys!

Cheryl, Jon, and Gabe came over for the afternoon and left around 6pm.... Ten minutes later, we got a call - they're car had broken down!! So, lucky for us, not so lucky for them, we got to have a sleep-over for the boys! Here's a few pictures of Gabe, Caroline, Macie, and JonJon playing in the bath!

Raise your hand if you like Chocolate!

Caroline does!
