pics of our family

our family pics. my only regret (since i always seem to have one) is not keeping lily in the polka dot dress. i think it would've added more contrast.



love this pic - even if it looks like fritzy is filling his diaper (which he wasn't)


this is probably my fave but i had trouble making it our banner for our blog. my sister-in-law will try to make a banner out of it for me next - so stay tuned.

individual pics of the kids

this was the mood evan was in most of the time, so katherine deserves credit for getting such a great picture of him (above).


Thank You, Katherine!!!!!

Love your new banner and all the beautiful photos.

You couldn't have picked a better time at Wickham with everything in bloom. So perfect!

We haven't had a family photo taken in years. Pretty sad. Gotta get on that...

Love all the pictures. You and your kids and Wendy's kids all look like porcelain dolls. It is good to see everyone.

April, we gave Sophie's Schultute to her when she started kindergarten. The boys are in all day preschool at the elementary school, so we decided to give it this year. I'll have to ask Herb about what it is supposed to be, I would guess Kindergarten.
I love being back down to one child at home again. There is no competition for my attention, except some housework, but that has always been there. I can actually run errands now during the day! I love having one on one time with Alex. He has been a lot more cheerful lately too.
How fun for Lily, I hope she has a great time.

Love all of your pictures! I think that was so sweet to have your mom and sister and her family in the pics.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
