Winter White Out

So... sometime here I will fill in the blanks between summer and winter, but for now these will do.  First time out in the snow for our little Lyla.  There were a few tears, but I decided that there was enough fun to make all that bundling up worth it.

Found these :)

These two are a few of my favorite people.

Eliott - four years old

Full of big smiles, funny faces, and lots of scraped knees.

Madison - six years old

Big enough to lose teeth.  She lost her first oneat 6 1/2.  It was hanging by a thread and finally (with a little help from Dad) pulled it the rest of the way out.  The second fell out when she clonked heads with little sis on the tramp.  A few tears and a lot of blood.

You two are a gift to this mama.

First Day of Classical Conversations 2015!

The crew was excited to start our second year of CC... well, Madi's second year and T's first.  The two little are darn spoiled this year as they get loved on from both grandma's (woohoo!).  They both did great... such a fun morning packed full of wonderful.  We love our CC mornings!

I'm pretty sure he thinks he is smiling

another try

"Hey Mom!  This is my 'sour' face!"

Fourth time's a charm

Late Summer Nights

Well... most of our summer nights have been quite crazy.  Four littles wears a mama (and Dad :)) out.  But this night we managed to find a little time to enjoy a cooler summer night.  These nights are some of my favorites.
