New doo

We're trying to tame Maia's muppett hair. Here's experiment number one: olive oil and caterpillar clips. Here's Joshua wearing the sailing outfit great grandpa and grandma made for uncle Sean. Doesn't he look cute?!

Merry Christmas!

Maia had a great first Christmas. Joshua had a wonderful Christmas too. Here's the little Peep playing in a Christmas box and showing off her Santa hat!

I see Mommy!

Maia caught sight of Mommy while she was cruising around on the floor. This is why it's worth all the late night feedings and teething!

Mommy's Hat

Maia is wearing Mommy's hat. I think it's a little big for her!

Kitties need Christmas too...

Gene thinks I'm silly, but how else is Tiger going to get things from Santa?

Merry Christmas

We had lots of fun decorating for Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Peep tried to feed herself for Thanksgiving. I'm not sure how much made it to her mouth, but she had fun trying!

Grocery Shopping

Here are the kids going grocery shopping in the car carts. The carts are HUGE and unwieldy, but they make Joshua happy and they're the only ones that have room for 2 kids to ride. Also, they just look really cute driving together.

Happy (Late) Oktoberfest

Here are all of us in our Oktoberfest outfits. It's a little late, but still fun.

Maia is 6 months old!

Here is my little peep at 6 months. She's getting to be such a big girl!

All dressed up

Our friend Jeremy got married today. We all got dressed up. Joshua was an absolute angel all day. Here is daddy dancing with his daughter, and Mommy with Maia, and one each of Joshua and Maia all dressed up.

No nap and two little cows

Here is Baby girl refusing to take a nap. It's a good thing she's cute! Here are the kids in their cow costumes. I'm going to dress as a farmer this year. While nursing Maia in costume I had the strange thought, "How often do you see the cow milking the farmer?!"

Tiger

Someone has been chewing up the pacifiers. I found out who. I think the cat is trying too hard.

Baby Pebbles

I've been making Maia hair bows. This one was a little silly, but I kinda like the baby Pebbles Flintstone look.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the South 47 farm today to pick beans and tomatoes and pumpkins. Here are my little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.

Smiley Girl is 5 months today

Here is little miss. She's 5 months today. Joshua is playing with some scary teeth he got in a halloween bag. Here is Tiger, the foster kitty, snuggling with Maia.

Oktoberfest

Here is Miss Maia enjoying the lawn at Oktoberfest, and then the babies sleeping away in the tent after an evening of polka and bratwurst!

Bed Head

Here is Little Peep snuggling with Daddy and then waking up this morning. You have to admit, when Maia does bed head she does it right.

Maia and Daddy

Here is Maia snuggling with her Daddy. Life's been a little rough for little miss these last couple days. There appears to be a tooth just starting to come in.

Tigger

Aunt Cheryl went bonkers with the Tigger stuff, which is good because Joshua does love Tigger, so here are the kids showing off the wonderful thing about Tiggers...

Sleeping family

Here we are enjoying a sleepy sunny afternoon nap together.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Here's Daddy enjoying his birthday with his grandson.

Playing together

Here are the kids playing together in Maia's baby gym.

OOh! What's that?!

Here's my little miss. She's 3 months old today and very very interested in the world.

By popular demand

By popular demand...here is a picture of my two babies playing together.

Happy Girl

Here is my happy girl thinking about having some lunch soon. We went for a walk and some time at the playground today. She loves going outside.

Future Scientist

There's just no help for it. My baby has mad scientist hair. we've started saving for college, so now all she needs is a tiny lab coat.
