Random photos of the kids.

Julia wanted to look like her friend Avery. Avery has thick, beautiful hair and always has it in barrettes or pony tails and looks positively adorable. Julia brought me a handful of hair goodies asking to look like Avery! She added the earrings afterward.




Right before she realized I was taking her picture and started to pull everything off.


Andrew's new cast. WARNING: Do NOT look at it in direct sunlight. Will cause blindness!


Katie resting and watching TV after being destructive. The room was clean when the kids walked in there. Never stays that way for long if they're around.


Tommy is absorbed in his TV and snacks. This kid is a couch potato!


Julia showing off her sticker earrings! She was a bit too close to the camera but hamming it up pretty good! Please don't mind the messy face!

Fancy Day!

Julia was in a fancy mood. She wanted to wear a fancy dress. She put on fancy jewelry and I made her a fancy lunch. (cut up her sandwiches into the usual triangles and arranged them to look fancy.) "Fancy" was the word of the day!



Giving her best fancy smile!

Julia tries her hand at make-up application.

Julia loves putting on make-up. Every chance she gets, she sneaks off into my room and gets into my make-up. This particular morning, she took advantage of me being in the shower to try putting on more than just "lips". She got into the mascara and eyeshadow as well.

This looks like a mug shot!


She told me she couldn't "paint her eyes."


Andrew getting in on the photo fun. He's finally comfortable with the cast and shows it off a bit. The next cast color he picked was bright orange.

Julia is TWO!

My baby doll turned 2 on Friday. She's getting bigger by the minute and I'm not ready to let go of my youngest. Thank goodness she still cuddles with me!!
