Caitlyn is growing like crazy. She hung out with me for 3 days at the SG convention and was admired and enjoyed by all. She got so many comments on what a cute, happy and GOOD baby she was. Lately she's been rolling over. Last night she was crying while laying on her stomach, not wanting to be in that position. So she would roll herself over onto her back, stop crying for one minute before she would roll herself back onto her stomach and then start the screaming again as if she was thinking "Hey what happened? This isn't where I want to be." So she'd repeat the process 2 or 3 times. She's too much fun.
I can't take credit for this gorgeous photo by the way... I have to credit Heidi Dillion and admit I stole it from her! :)
Savannah had a field trip yesterday to pumpkinland. She was so excited! Ever since she got back she's been asking if we could carve her pumpkin. So today she drew her face, they cleaned it out, and I carved it. I forgot how much fun it is. Hopefully soon the whole family will get to go get our own and have a night of fun. I love this time of year!
Well a year and a half later it was time to update our blog. We've added a new kid and Isaac is no longer 3 months old. We'll be adjusting a few things here and there and thought we'd try creating a new background. I still have to figure out a few tricks to make things line up, and work with different screens, but for now this will work till we get it under our belt. Life has been good for us. I've done terrible at keeping up on the family blog as I tend to post more on my own personal blog, so sometimes it helps to check out both. We're going to start at least posting something on Sundays and if I would just embrace how easy Picassa has made it to edit and upload to blogs I should be posting on here regularly!
The other day the kids found themselves hanging out in the front room playing and starting to get bored. They wanted me to do something with them, but since I was feeding Caitlyn at the time I couldn't do much. I suggested that they pretend the couches were boats and the floor was water. That fed their enthusiasm and before I knew it they were jumping from boat to boat, swimming in the water as fast as they could so the sharks wouldn't get them. Before we knew it they were pretending to be pirates, which led to mom pulling out some old red fabric and cutting patches out of construction paper. Before we knew it we had an entire gang of pirates hanging out in our front room.
Mirian was just too darn cute going around growling and acting all tough.
Uh oh! The sword broke.
They all had a hard time with the patch on their eye. It lasted about two secons on Isaac's. The other girls had to keep tilting their heads to the side so they could see you out of the corner of it. What a great afternoon of creativity and fun!
I love this picture of Isaac and Beau. Isaac is always wanting to be right in on his dad's projects. Here they are building some bunk beds together for a friend of ours. He was right in there helping with the screws and looking on proudly at his dad. I'm so glad Beau lets him join in on the fun and be a part of the projects rather than telling him to go away. He'll grow up knowing all kinds of skills and they'll have a great relationship together.
