Here comes trouble...

                                                               

 

homemade Thanksgiving rolls
with help from my little sous chef

(apparently) the spoon tastes better than the mashed bananas

this note on my dresser sure did make up for the 6am wake up.

No school and the first real snow, what could be better when you are 4 and 6?

Sweet, smiley, talking, and growing way too fast!

(Rare) photo of  just us.

Halloween 2011

Daddy-baby daughter quality time.

The (almost completed) result of all that father-son building time, in hopes of a more organized winter season.  All we need now is trim, paint , hooks and baskets-and some time to finish!

First soccer game ever, using all his newly learned skills, loving that he has a large audience. 

A special little treat for me...I love these magazines!

No matter how hard I try, I can NEVER seem to return the books on time.

Finally getting some answers after years of choking, doctors guessing that I have reflux , and almost intolerable stomach pain while pregnant with Delaney.

 Quiet time home alone with my sweet, smoochy  cheek baby girl.

This UPS delivery always makes me smile.

Finally getting a chance to use his birthday tool set from Grandma and Grandpa Gallatin with Daddy to  start a much-needed "mud-room in the garage" project.

Beautiful day to experiment with my camera...finally.  I now know how to use the self-timer, even though I can't get them to sit for 10 whole seconds

 

Spending time together after school, they sure did miss each other!!

First day of  First grade, all day, every day. Very exciting!

First morning of many waiting for the bus, first morning of many "all -girl days" while big brother is at school.

First day of 4 year old preschool, she has been waiting for 2 years to have Nic's (previous) teacher.

Magic (sleeping) sparkles.  If they are from your preschool teacher they really work, and even though their number has dwindled and they don't work quite as well, she still asks for them every night.

We have another self-sufficient soother.

Sweet, chubby, ( I weigh 12 pounds at 2 months!) baby thighs 

stabbed three times by an inch long needle.
