That’s how late the kids slept in this morning! (Actually, that’s when Elizabeth got up, but the other two stayed down a few more minutes.) It was amazing. Then, of course, the girls danced. And we listened to The Last Battle.

This morning, Elizabeth offered to feed Susie her oatmeal for me. She actually didn’t do too bad–and I managed to eat my own breakfast in record time!
Today I finally managed to catch both the girls in their (relatively) clean blue toot-toots. They weren’t really cooperative as far as photo shoots go, but eventually Elizabeth stood behind me and got Susanna to laugh…
Scenes from Home

This morning, I’m flying down to Florida to see my brother John get his wings. Since I missed his graduation and commissioning (due to an overdue Lizzie), I figured the least I could do was help celebrate finishing flight school! So Derek’s on single parent duty with the kids for four days. Should be interesting. […]
I’ve been pretty good about doing monthly updates for Susie, but I feel like the big kids have developed a lot this summer, too. Since Tommy is exactly five and a half today, I’m doing a three-for-one update! Life in our home is very much how I always dreamed. Books, legos, and doll clothes are […]

This weekend, the kids suddenly rediscovered their dress-up basket, and silly times ensued! It wasn’t too long ago that Tommy fit into this and Elizabeth was Little Sal. How time flies! Uncle John would be proud to see his flight suit being paired with a duplo gun! Nothing says fashionista like repurposing oven mitts as […]
Watching a clip from “Singin’ in the Rain” is now our family bribe of choice. The kids, especially Elizabeth, love to watch the dancing scenes! Check out the girls trying to dance like Debbie Reynolds the other day. Imagine them in nonstop motion:
Popsicles

We finally got Susanna in to the doctor for her 15 month check-up. Dr Antall said we’d keep an eye on her bow-legged, pigeon toed walking. He noticed that it’s her left foot in particular that pronates in. If she hasn’t straightened out by 18 months, we’ll probably see a specialist about a special shoe […]
