so we built a massive fort and read books.

Two months ago, this little family welcomed these two babies into their home after years of trying for them. They are just perfect! Thank you for making my trip possible, and for letting me get caught up on the Office!

Oooh, the dimples on this spunky kid are so scrumptious!

We had all sorts of plans for these two to sleepily canoodle together. They had other plans. When one would fall asleep, the other would wake up, and then came the punching and kicking.

These pictures are fairly unfortunate, but it’s the best I can do with my child who hates the camera. But, in celebration of her year and a half mark, I had to post a picture, because what kind of a mother would I be if I didn’t? This little one (and I do mean little after getting her weighed at her checkup), is the snuggliest baby girl. She loves, loves, loves getting books read to her and eating anything sweet. She added “cracker” and “shoe” to her very minimal word list this last week. And as you can see from previous posts, she defiantly keeps me on my toes. We love our Lulu!

In town from MY home town in Oregon, this family is full of personality and has most gorgeous eyes you’ve ever seen. There’s a lot of pictures here, couldn’t help myself. Thank you Georges for sticking it out in the BITTER cold!

I thought we had skipped over the climbing stage, apparently not. We found Lucy in the upstairs bathroom, in the sink, brushing her teeth. This involved some serious maneuvering. We seem to be finding her in similar precarious positions every since. Thanks be praised she can’t open doors yet!

Geoff’s sister and her family were in town for the big wedding and I got to take some pictures of them. We love every second that we get with them. Isaac and Lucy miss their cousins!

I was grateful for the opportunity to go up the canyon and enjoy the beauty of nature today with this beautiful family. It was really cold, but their baby was a trooper. Isn’t she darling?

and my two handsome boys! Happy Thanksgiving!

And they came to see me! Ok, they might be here for Thanksgiving, but still. They’re just about as sweet as they come. It was a pleasure to spend a couple hours with you guys!
