Family Picture Day

Two for the Cuteness

Talk Like A Pirate Day

Dancing round the house to Pirate music makes me little matey giggle.

Madeline and her Second Grade Teacher

Madeline and Mrs.Carter 2nd Grade

Safety Week Green

Yes. I sent her to school like this.... Cause, see, Safety Week for their school is all about green for some reason. So today the class that wears the most green gets a brownie and pizza party.

I have done my part.

It's Almost Pumpkin Time!

Lillian Caren, age 5 months (minus three days).

Labor Day

This afternoon, Justin and Madeline decided that they would build a rocket together.

So, daddy built a rocket, because he bought a crappy glue and got a little irritated. So he went back out for better glue.

Then he was a bit happier.

BUT, the paint he bought was crap. Sooooooo, he borrowed some red paint from his dad.

Meanwhile, Madeline had grown fed up with waiting and rockets. She went down the water slide for a while.

Again and Again and Again...

And once more for good measure.

Then, as seen above, she sat in a bucket. Yes. A Bucket. I mean, why not?

After dinner we all went to the park to light off the rocket. It went off three times very well. It was pretty cool, and pretty loud. Lily was not a fan. She screamed after every launch.

If only she had been a little older, we could have made her feel better with the cheesecakes I made. We sat in the park on the grass and ate cheesecake. Hurrah for Labor Day!

Our Beautiful Second Grader

It seems like time is passing so quickly that we can hardly keep track of how fast our babies are growing up. It is incredible that we now have a second grader. She was so excited to go to school again this fall that she even had her little sister rolling about in giggles. We are so proud of our big girl. Love you Madeline.

Mommy and the Girls/Lily 4 months

Here is a quick update of pictures, the first being my two beautiful girls and myself in Canada at Grandma and Grandpa McKnight's house. The last few are from a photo shoot that I did with Lillian to commemorate her fourth month of life. I love my girls so much.
