PICTURES!!!


Michael was burning wood and Haelley was burning Mommy's patience, so I sent her out to sit and watch Daddy. Later on, I brought them out their food, this was their quiet meal together.

Haelley has adopted my tv addiction. Her favorite movie is Horton Hears A Who (w Jim Carrey). Her name for it is "Hortah the Ellebee." It also features the "Maya."

This pic is random, but Michael was proud of his Mashed Potato Smiley Face and asked for me to display it proudly amongst his other passions.

Bren was sitting in Haelley's chair, she was jealous so she decided to sit on the potty instead. This was her really good potty day. She went 10 hrs or so with out an accident! This astonishing run was ended with a "stinky" behind the couch.

I really want you all to meet Bren, he is such a happy baby. He smiles for anything. (Unless it's Haelley dropping the bouncer on his head, Mommy dropping him head first into the carseat or Daddy smacking the back of his head on the table.) All of those things happened in the past two days. Poor guy.

He loves to lay on his tummy. The past few days, instead of waking up in the morning and crying, he peeks over the edge of the bassinet and talks to me until I come get him.

Haelley was fascinated with blanket time, so I let her do it too.

When wet, Haelley's hair will stay in a bun, it's really cute, until it's been slept on. And then it's, well, scary.

We had a couple 87 degree days in a row, so I got out a bucket of water for Haelley to splash in. She was confused and went swimming instead.

What child doesn't love dirt? And Miss Haelley is no exception.

These are sicky pictures back when the kiddos were downed by stomach junk. Poor Haelley was so sick. For those of you who didn't know, we had to take her to the ER for fluids. She was extremely dehydrated and sick with the rotavirus and a UTI.

These are Easter pictures. Janet, Michaels Great-Aunt or something like that, gave the kiddos towels. Here they proudly show them off (fully clothed, for your sake).

We went to Michael's Aunt Lauri's house for Easter. They had an Easter Egg Hunt that Haelley was quite successful in.

She got the hang of it pretty quickly.

Bren is always smiling!

I think I know the answer now, several people have told me that these are Bleeding Hearts, but I thought I'd post them anyway for input.

Bleeding hearts - yes! They're lovely. What other flowers have you discovered?

The forest is indeed gone. Wow. Michael has worked hard.

I have an Amish folk remedy book somewhere that talks about the healthy effects of dirt. It is why, the author says, that the Amish are very lenient about their children playing outside and getting dirty. Maybe I will look for that quote.

Oh, and how clumsy and ridiculous of me to forget to congratulate with much gravity and deepest sincerity the artist who rendered, "Smile in the Mashed Potatoes."

I am honored to be one of the first to cast amazed eyes upon it.
