Happy birthday to Todd!

We had a great time in Louisville with Todd, Heather and Tim this past weekend (& Stella too). We spent much of the day at Cherokee Park traipsing through the woods looking for things high and low. We hope you enjoyed your birthday celebration as much as we did, Todd.

Even Superheros Have to Eat Breakfast

How does a Superhero start his day? It's an age-old question Christopher helped to shed some light on one morning this past week. We're still wondering, what super-concoction is in the mug??

Love of Learning

I am so excited how much our kids love to read! Christopher is quickly learning to read to us. Sabrina and Molly are learning too as Sabrina has been sitting for 'big kid books' and Molly is turning pages.

Clara's Winter Village

Of any of my kids (so far) Clara is the one who loves to be outdoors most. Be it cold or hot, digging and building outside are her favorite things. Our recent snow falls have been a great source of building material for our little construction worker. She recently donned the snow suit and set to work. Even I was surprised at her industriousness. After only an hour she had created an entire snow man village! Ugh, 'snow man family' actually, she tells me.

Molly's Milestones

Our Molly turned 8 months this past week and she's been busy trying keep up with the big three. She's up on her knees, though she still prefers the low crawl for speedy maneuvers. She's also begun eating 'finger foods' and I recently found her standing in her crib after nap time. Her are a couple shots of her recent progress.

Pop

At first, Christopher wouldn't read to me (Adam) his assignment from class tonight. So I suggested that he read to his baby sister instead ... and this worked! It's pretty cool watching him learn to read - and dangerous too. We have to be careful when spelling things at the dinner table now because he picks up on what we're trying to say. That's a good problem, I suppose.

More costumes

Molly wanted to get in on the act also. (Note - this image was taken with my new BlackBerry and the other with the iPhone - hence the "flash.")

Dress up time

Tonight the two older girls got into the dress up box and put on
random things. Clara's wearing a yellow and black tutu from when her
mother was the same age while Sabrina has on a blue dancing outfit.
Christopher is just wanting to be in on the action and not wearing any
costumes. Those of you who know him will understand.

Pig Tails or ?

Would you call these pig tails or what? Sabrina has taken recently to having her hair pulled back at the beginning of the day. Pretty cute if you ask me.
