Hello all! A new set of pictures, although, I realized there aren't any of Beka or Carolyn in this batch. But there is a bonus, one of ME!!!! Aren't you excited! Ok, well, anyway.....

Kay is getting mobile, she's not quite crawling, but she rocks forward and sort of inches up toward her goal. Hmm, it's just started hailing outside. Fun. Back to Kay. So she's of course starting the new phase of getting into everything within reach. She's also learned how to sit up herself from her tummy, I'd forgotten how cute that was. She's so much happier too, she was getting so frustrated with just sitting there, while everyone else ran around and played!

She was exploring the dog kennel here, she could totally fit inside, and was partially inside before I took this picture. Of course as soon as I got the camera out, this was as far as she would go :P The other day, Beka squished herself in the dog kennel to hide from the other kids, I was amazed she could fold herself up enough to get in there.

Dressup night at Master Club, and I forgot that day, until Greg said something about an hour before time to go! So Travis and I scrambled, Greg had already agreed on Moses before, so that made it easier. Baseball pants, sandals, Daddy's t-shirt, rope belt, quickly improvised hat out of old sheet, and of course, a marker beard and enhanced eyebrows. Oh, and don't forget the ten commandments. Ta Da! He was happy with it, except he kept getting confused and saying he was Joseph :D

Ok, I know this is gross, but it was just one of those things, you have to get the picture first. Kay had found a rawhide chewie, and started gnawing on it (which to me isn't as gross as the dried up worm we found Greg chewing on when he was a baby) and then Bogey came along and started sharing.

They were both fine with it! The dog actually is really good with Kay, even when she grabs a handful of his loose puppy skin, he just sits there, I think he can tell she's just a baby, he's very sweet to her.

Sleeping babies are the cutest, they just are so innocent and sweet, and cuddly, and their chubby cheeks get all squished up....and they are quiet!

Greg fell asleep on the couch...after insiting he wasn't tired!

He and Bogey both...aren't they cute!!!!

Well, that's all I have for today! Hope you have a great day and week, Travis and I are looking forward to a week off, for Thanksgiving! Yipee! You may not hear from me for a little while! :D

Pancakes and Snow

So, another week, and another post, it takes me a little while to gather enough pictures for a posting :D It was a good week, though, had an outing to a friends house for some fun fellowship and playtime for the kids, and got back into a semblance of routine for school. Carolyn is down sick now though, Kay Leigh too, but not too badly, just a mild cold.

Chocolate pancakes. I hate the idea of the kids eating syrup, and I don't need to be eating it, so I try different things to help pancakes be yummy without corn syrup and preservative infused artificially flavored syrup. Ok, so this is barely better, but sometimes we sprinkle them with raw cane sugar, or my favorite, yogurt and chopped nuts. once in a while I make fruit sauce with frozen fruit, some cane sugar, water and corn starch. Love that one! And the chips were chopped up and sprinkled on top, so there's not as much chocolate in these as it looks like!

I promise :D

She has top teeth now, but the way she smiles, you can't tell!

Kay loves her big brother! Can't say I blame her :)

Two things here, first, SNOW!!!! Just enough to be exciting, it was gone by the end of the day. Second, notice anything missing in Beka's smile? Yup, another tooth, a front one, I pulled it out last Sunday for her, it was barely hanging there, just grabbed it with a napkin and out it came!

What a poser!

Did I mention that she knows how to swing herself? She does eventually get both legs on!

This boy loves his dog, and the dog likes him. It's a mutual affection :D

The tiny fashion plate. Not. Generally she has the glasses on upside down, she does LOVE her monkey pj's though, she would wear them all day every day if allowed!
