There's three of us running around this place, and we wanted you to know...

From Easter 2012

That we hope you had a great Easter!

And that you didn't eat all your chocolate bunnies at once!

Or your chocolate Easter eggs...

Hey, didn't Mama and Daddy tell you yet that sticking out your tongue isn't very nice!

And I want YOU to know that I'm walking, running, (almost) talking, potty training, and generally having a great time!

I love you all! XOXOXO

Happy (Belated) St Patrick's Day!

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

So we're a little slow getting posts up on the blog lately... There are three kids, a dog, two parents, 20 some odd fish, and a couple of frogs living in and around this house, after all! Give us a break! ;)

Happy St Patrick's Day! :D

Ready for Halloween?

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

So maybe I haven't grown much since Halloween 2010? Or maybe my costume was big then. Mama hopes that Emmaline may be able to fit in this outfit this coming Halloween. But I like being Dorothy!

BIG boy bed!!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

I'm sleeping in a BIG boy bed now! Even bigger than the bunk bed I used to share with Meredith! Meredith and Emmaline share a room now with the bunk bed, and I get my own room with a BIG bed. Don't worry, I won't fall off -- it is next to the wall and has a bed rail. No falling out for me!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

I love my new bed! I especially love the dinosaur sheets Mama helped me pick out!

I like burgers!

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

And strawberries. And corn. And molasses cookies. And messy faces!

Tooth. Be Gone!

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

I actually lost my first tooth a while ago, but I needed to let you know! (again!)

Will you be my Valentine?

Gilli?

Will YOU be my Valentine?

Gilli: "Yes, as long as you leave the futon mattress on the floor!"

Looth Tooth

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

I have a looth tooth, I mean loose tooth! The omniscient (loose teeth gives you great knowledge and vocabulary) internet says some kids start losing teeth at age 4. Girls tend to lose their teeth before boys. Kids that get their teeth early tend to lose their teeth earlier. I guess that makes it okay for me to have a loose tooth at 4 and a half years!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

Theo wants a loose tooth, but he's too young!

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

Emmaline is worried because she is still getting her teeth, and she didn't realize she would have to lose them too!

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

Let's get wiggling!
