"Can you put the picture I took of Elsie on your blog?" -Sophie

Getting Into The Groove


Elsie wakes up now with the other kids and hangs out with them during our morning routine.

"Can we go to the ocean??"
"Do we have to go inside this shell?"

Sophie's Cabbage



We think this is going to be award-winning.

What She Saw...


Yes she's standing there... and she stayed like this for almost 5 minutes... then I think her legs started to cave :)

Boutiques and Art

The little ones and I had lunch in downtown Georgetown
today... afterwards we did a little shopping... I picked
up this cute dress and hat for Elsie at a little boutique called
"Between Friends" .


The girls take an art class from a local artist on tuesday evenings... here they are with their latest picasos!

Two Things...

Today I set the Lexington radio stations in my Honda...

1. corny John Tesh advice/music

2. some trendy alternative station

3. an eighties station

4. a soft rock station

5. a country station (that's for you Dad)

6. Finally, NPR, always gotta have that

This is a big deal for me... at last I know we're staying put... At least for the next two years anyway, and there's nowhere else I want my family to be except right here, right now... I love this place, and a year ago I hardly knew it existed!!

The next thing... something I love most, of course, My little Elsie gave us her first tiny belly laugh today with the biggest smiles... Maybe I'll try to record the next one and see if i can get some audio on here...

What TJ Loves...


TJ sent me his favorite pic from his phone

Grandma's Pretty Cool


We had sooo much fun when Grandma came to visit... all the kids in the house say, "Come again soon!!"

My Boys... Even Too Cool For Food


For You Debbie!!


Deb... We miss you, can't wait for your visit in July!!

Two More mommies??


Sophie and Nadia... you're naturals... thank you for all your help with Elsie... I love you guys
-Mommy

They Couldn't Get Enough...

A Daddy's Love

My hubby with Elsie... Ahh the labor of love, only 9 months, 270 back rubs, 540 footsie rubs, and countless glasses of sparkling H2O with a splash of cranberry juice, crushed ice of course!
