Brother and Sisters

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

See, we do all get along (sometimes)!

I'm (going to be) one!

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

I'm going to turn one year old this week. Do you know what I've done in a year? I've eaten, slept, cried, crawled, walked, and did the other necessary things for a baby to do.

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

But I'm not really a baby anymore. See... I can stand and I'm walking!

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

And I'm swinging (with some pushes from my sister behind me)!

From Emmaline Ruth 1 Year

And I'm serious (what is that over there?).

And of course I'm happy (and walking to my Daddy!)

I'm four (and a month)

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

So I turned four last month in August. My Mama wanted Daddy to have a "photo shoot" of me when I'm four. It took us a little while, but we got it done. And I got to play at the same time!

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

I wanted to go to the "big red park." Does this park look red to you? Mama and Daddy said this park was less busy... something about a race at the other park.

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

Today I learned how to ride on the "zip line" at the park all by myself (well, almost because my Mama had to help me off at the end).

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

It takes a lot of concentration! And the tongue helps my balance. I promise! Don't knock it until you try it!

Take pictures of me, Daddy!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

Why are you taking so many pictures of Meredith and Emmaline? So what if Meredith turned 4 last month and Emmaline is turning 1 in a few days.

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

Take pictures of me, Daddy!

Black shirt & jeans

Mama should have bought me a turtleneck.

Daddy says you get extra points if you understand the reference...

Walking!

From Emmaline Ruth

Step one... move your right leg.

From Emmaline Ruth

Step two... move your left leg.

From Emmaline Ruth

Step three... repeat.

From Emmaline Ruth

Step four... fall and ask for help getting back up :(

From Emmaline Ruth

I'll get a hang of this soon, don't worry!

School

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

I'm ready, Mama. Let's go! School is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

Look what I made! I've also learned new songs, painted my name, painted with vegetables, and had lots and lots of fun! :)

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

Theo wants to know when he gets to go?

True Love!

From Emmaline Ruth

I love my Mama, Daddy, brother, and sister. But can you guess what I love even more?

From Emmaline Ruth

Did you guess BROWNIES??

Footprint Butterflies

From Emmaline Ruth

Look how big our feet are! Meredith, Theodore, and I made some crafts the other day. Mama let us get paint on our feet, then we made butterflies with our footprints!

Dinosaur Tails

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

My Mama sewed me a dinosaur tail! How cool!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

I haven't played with it much yet, and I didn't really give Daddy a whole lot of chances to get pictures of me with it on. I was too bashful...

Name Signs

From Meredith Jane 4 Years

A little while ago my Mama helped us color the letters of our names. Then we hung them up proudly in our room on our bunk bed. Any guess as to which letters we did on our own without help from Mama?
