Christian's 8 Months

I had a freak out moment. I looked in Christian's mouth and saw the beginnings of his two top teeth (my kids get teeth early). I got so nervous because I know it will change his entire look and I had not had his picture taken in months. So, I grabbed a nice shirt, took him outside and asked Joshua to make him smile. This is what we ended up with...





I still have a lot to learn and would welcome any hints on good photography, but at least we can celebrate those new teeth now!

She's a Big Girl Now

Joshua being at school everyday has been a big change and has taken some getting used to for me and the little ones. In a strange way though, it has fun to see my time with Andi really blossom. Sometimes, with Joshua around, I forget how conversational Andi truly is. She loves to share about everything from the hair bow she wants to wear to the number of apple slices she ate without the crust. We are having a great time together. Here are some the highlights of Andi's last couple of weeks.
Andi's first day of school. I love this little schoolgirl dress our friend, Holly gave her.

Pink bubblegum ice cream to celebrate her first day. School is just old hat to Joshua by now.

Downtown story time. This is Andi coming back from singing with all the kids on stage. She had not ever done this without Joshua. She was very proud. (Sorry to the poor lady's backside in the photo.)
This may be Andi's biggest moment thus far. This is the tent at the mall playground. Before this day, Andi had not ever attempted climbing on top...that was Joshua's thing. Now she's the big girl on campus...I mean tent.
