One fantastic day

On Tuesday, Allyson, Amanda & Mallori were given quite a treat. My mom surprised them with a trip to San Francisco to see the Nutcracker ballet. I got to tag along. The girls all had matching jackets (that my mom made) and they got dressed up for the occasion. The performance was magical and the girls were in awe. What a fun day!

He eats leaves!

9 months already

Yep - still growing. I went in for a massage last week and the lady said "What have you been doing on your left side?" Lugging around 27 pounds every day! But what a cute 27 pounds he is. Still happy as can be and making us smile.

What do you think?

Halloween

My computer died. Yes, just died. Must be buried. Reloading programs and restoring data were not on my to do list for the week but my brain could not function without a computer so everything else had to wait. I'm up and running again. I now know where I'm supposed to be, what I'm supposed to be doing and at what time. Whew! It was scary there for a few days. So, here are some pictures of the kids in their Halloween outfits. Are you freaking out with how BIG Max is? At 8 months old he's wearing 18 month clothing. Unbelievable. Natalie and Allyson made their costumes from scratch. Amanda is Princess Leia and Camille is Snow White. We were able to attend quite a few Halloween festivities this year and had a great time.

Eight Months Old

Max is still one happy little guy. He's crawling all over and pulling himself up on anything that's semi-solid (rocking chairs and mommy's hair included). He adores his sisters and the feeling is mutual. The time is just flying by way too quickly. At 25+ pounds he really isn't a baby anymore.

Human Bubbles

I love going to the fair when it's in town - mainly to see the animals and the fresh produce. This year we played with one of the new exhibits called "Human Bubbles". These are like giant beach balls that you climb into and are blown up fully. Then they push you out in a wading pool full of water. The kids had a great time.
