Playtime

Peek a boo... Do you see my little smile. Sometimes my whole face lights up; especially when I see my mommy!

River monsters

Our local neighborhood park has a river running through it- a HUGE selling point for us. The girls love to explore in the water. This week they went with some friends and came home with new pets: CRAWFISH!!!! Eeeeeekkkk!!!!!

Emi takes a dip in the pool

Look at those little toes!!!!

Mommy gets nighttime cuddles with all the girls

And yes, I AM as tired as I look!

35 years 

+ 8 weeks of averaging 4 hours of sleep a night 

= TIRED MOMMY

Emi's First Concert

A local favorite..... Seriously, these guys have been around since my college days. Fun!!!

Ana makes sure Coko still feels loved.

A shout out for the "Happy Tummi"

Emi has been getting consistently more "fussy". I just got this tummy band in the mail and it worked immediately. Wow. I haven't seen her this peaceful in over a week. Now, let's hope it has the same effect at 2:00 AM.

The girls first breakfast together.

Such good helpers.

Sleeping Beauty

Which is a wonderful thing because that means I get a shower this morning before E and I hit the town for our AM errands. The good people in town thank you Emily!!!

(You know you need a shower when your 6 & 7 year olds say, "mommy, you stink!".)

Pool time with the cousins

Memory lane...

Doc was right.... She was not a little baby!!!!

Seriously. I was HUGE!!!

Taylor and Ana are great big sisters

A letter to our girls...

Play time

Emily is fully mesmerized by big sister Tay's singing.

Is this legal????

So.... We tried to have Emily sleep without a pacifier last night- she cried for 3 hours straight!!!! Yikes!

The problem is that it falls out when she falls into a nice peaceful sleep and then she wakes up screaming because she needs the pacifier. Its a viscous loop- the same one we struggled with Tay for three years over... I'm not about to go three years holding a pacifier in baby #3's mouth.

(don't be scared or tempted to call me in- I was right there... tempting though, isn't it!!!!! ;) )

Pool party and cousin time!

Happy 4th of July

We had a fun party at our friends' and cousins' house. Emily loved the fireworks and the girls loved the lake raft. What a great day.

Emily Loves the Heat!

Welcome Emily Lenee

I'm not sure what inspired me to welcome Emily to the blogging world today- maybe it's the fact that our life savior Shana the nanny started today- but here she is 6 weeks ago!!!!

Man do we love this little girl!

Introducing Toson Baby Girl #3!!!!

~ Due date: May 27th, 2012 ~

Ana and Taylor get another sister at last :) (although Ana was really hoping she was going to be a brother- "I'll still love her", says Ana!

Our First REAL snowfall

Happy Holidays!

School Character Parade

At the girls school they do up Halloween, but instead of dressing in "costume" they dress as a character in their favorite book- most kids pick a costume and then find a book to go with it :)  Leave it to us humans to get around policy :) :) :)

Anyway- the kids seemed to have fun.  Although when I asked Ana how it was she reported, "scary.  There were too many people."

Here is Ana as Emma Rose- the vampire in "This Totally Bites"- her current read.

And Taylor as the Witch in "Room on the Broom"- one of our house Halloween favorites for 2 years in a row.

Happy Halloween

 Ana: A vampire- ooooooo scarrrryyyyy.......

 Scary sisters- BOO!

 The whole GANG!  You can see the Vampire costume was top on the popularity list this year.

 Since we were trick or treating on our old street, the girls got to see their old home.  Here is Ana looking at it from across the street- she was very sad :( .

Checking out the loot!  Tomorrow night the switch witch comes and trades the candy loot for a present- WE LOVE THE SWITCH WITCH!
