Sleeping Babies

Zoe asleep in her bed with all of the paraphenalia she brings with her (blankie, baby, bee book, cup, sheep book).

Amelia apparently fell asleep asking God to forgive her for all of the whining she did today.

My third child.

Cozy

Zoe loves her bean bag chair... she likes to be comfy and cozy... just like her momma!

A cold day...

"Are we having fun yet?"

Just for fun

Nurse Becky

On Friday Aunt Becky learned that she had passed her nursing boards. We are so proud of her and excited for her to start her life in a job that is perfect for her! We had lobster dinner to celebrate -- we ate on our wedding china that we recently unpacked and on the beautiful dining room table from my grandma. The most exciting part of the evening were the balloons the girls played with/fought over for the entire evening...


You can see that she is a very pretty nurse.

Zoë likes to climb into things and read her books. In this case, the baby doll crib which drives Amelia crazy when she does this....

CHEESE! Three monkeys.

We have had virtually no snow this winter but last week we had enough that the girls could do some sledding. They had a lot of fun together....

Amelia enjoys breaking in our new couch. It fits her perfectly!

Tough week for Zoë...

Our little Zoë Bear has had a tough week and a half... Last week her cold turned into croup - she wasn't sleeping more than 30 minutes in a row (that's fun) and was fussy (obviously)... she got steroids that helped the breathing but made her hyper at night so she continued to not sleep well. Then on Sunday she started to get a little better but then her cold seemed to get worse by Tuesday and she spent the rest of the week screaming. SCREAMING. We took her back to the doctor yesterday who gave us medicine but encouraged us to wait a day or two just to see if she improved. And she has! Finally. She was so sad and pitiful. I am hoping she finally sleeps tonight ... It's so good to see her happy and playing again...

Amelia laid out her spiderman blanket for her baby doll and then laid out Zoë's blanket for her, too. They watched one of their high quality tv shows and rested together...



Zoe took a brief break from lying down to sit in this box. She had fun for a few minutes...

And then she found the couch. She definitely takes after her mommy!

Do I have something on my face?

They're so cute...

Amelia lined up her pillow pets on the couch and sat with them for over a half hour and had an on-going conversation with them.

She then built herself a house with the box from the flat screen I bought Tom for Christmas... She called the thing on her left her chimney.

She sat inside this for quite a long time...

Zoë enjoys getting herself into all kinds of predicaments that involve danger. She climbs on tables - recently she found the outside edge of the stairs to climb...

...but then was all tuckered out from that activity. She fell asleep on the couch... doesn't she look so long!

Zzzzzz.

We are good snuggle buddies.

Zoë's Thanksgiving Dinner

No idea why these won't flip... so you'll just have to til your head to the left! Zoë enjoyed her Thanksgiving Dinner at the head of the table... but a little earlier because she had to go to bed :) She had a lot of fun and seemed to have a lot to be thankful for!

Ohio!

Last month we went to Ohio for a funeral and despite ridiculous travel, the kids had a great time! Here we have all of the cousins together for a rare picture. Katelyn's arms are JACKED - she must work out.

Look how cute Zoe is cuddling with Tom on the plane. I can't believe he even got a picture of this because most of the time she screamed.

THIS cracked me up. They are buried right behind Tom's grandparents.

Amelia being spidey-silly in front of Tom's grandparents' grave.

The flight home...finally we all slept... It was bad. Very bad. If we had the money I'd buy our own plane so we never have to fly commercially ever again...

I call her Cindy Loo Who and Tom calls her his little samurai...

Lounge Princesses

Our girls take after me and love to lounge on the couch...

What we've been up to

Zoë got a super cute outfit from her Auntie Jen and it fits PERFECTLY.

Amelia decided to take a bath with her clothes on. She assured us she was warm because of the "hot water" but then got cold about 2 seconds later.

Zoë has a new method of watching tv.

"What? Is there a problem?!"
