My friend, Sarah, had some fun editing this photo for me......isn't it cool?!

7 Months Old




Santa Baby....You are Cute as a Button!




Benji Playing in the Snow....Well, in the LEAVES, Anyway!

Benjamin really wanted to go out and play in the snow today.......if you use your imagination, you can see some snow in the picture.....really, it's there!

SNOW!

Is there enough for a snow day???  No, not really!
We woke up to snow falling outside yesterday.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful!!!

These Pictures are for Grandma!

See, Grandma, I really do wear bows every now and again!




I may be 7 months old, but I really don't want to sit without help......I'd really rather be held, thank-you!

Fun With Cousins

Timothy and Michaella.
Michael and Michaella (male and female of the same name).
Daniel with Michaella.
Over the weekend, we had our 3 college nephews with us.....LOTS of fun.....thanks for coming, guys!
Oh, Michaella.....what is life like surrounded with boys???? (She doesn't seem to mind at all!)
Yes, Scott, bunny ears on Michaella is just hilarious!
Life with eight boys in the house is always filled with lots of fun-filled craziness!
Around-the-world ping-pong.
Michaella was quite content to sit and watch all the commotion.
Brotherly love.
Every photo session must end with at least one silly picture!

Brother and Sister




Even his sister must have bunny ears in pictures!

He just loves his sister!

Scott Reading to Benji

Scott has started reading his first chapter books, and is really enjoying them. Over the weekend, he decided to read some to Benjamin.  It was fun to watch, as they stayed under this blanket for quite some time!

Pretty in Pink

Grandma, the booties and sweater still fit me.

Happy Baby

A New Toy....Well, New to Michaella, Anyway!

She jumped for a little bit, but she was really more interested in getting as much of the strap as she could into her mouth.
Why jump, when I can suck on the strap instead?

Swimming Lessons

Benji and Charlie are taking swimming lessons together every Friday, and love it!
