We wear our sunglasses in the house...

Emma found these sunglasses and wore them inside almost the entire day. Later, Sarah had them and put them on Andrew (upside down) when I wasn't looking.

Halloween Every Day...

I thought it would be fun to line up the kids on the floor and see how tall they are comparatively, especially since Andrew is so big. (He's almost 19 lbs. at 4 1/2 months!)




This is the day we had snow and Sarah wanted to wear her rain boots in the snow. They are actually too big, so when she sits in her car seat, they fall off her feet and then she's sad.



Emma and Sarah found a bathing suit a box in the playroom and because there was only one, Emma wore the top and Sarah wore the bottom ALL DAY LONG. Mind you, this was the day that it was 22 degrees outside all day!





Look at the jewelry. We only had one pair of earrings, so they are each wearing one earring.





I just downloaded pictures from my camera over the last month and realized that every day is Halloween at our house. Here are pictures of the kids in their various get-ups. The good news is that they can change their clothes themselves. The bad news is that the costume changes are several times an HOUR!

Just when you thought it was safe to turn your back...

I was ironing in the basement this morning when Sarah found my makeup bag in my purse.... She had a wonderful time putting on all of my different lipsticks. She also decorated our stairs, as well as her face.

Where In The World Is Monica?

Monica visited San Sebastian with our cousin Mark during the first week in Spain.

More Baby News....

Ok, so the Kilners had to join in this summer's bumper crop of Gabriel grandchildren...#12 is coming at the end of August! When we tell Joey there's a baby in mommy's tummy--he says, "No, Liam's upstairs!"

Bon Voyage Monica!!
