Waiting for momma on Tuesdays

Taken: March 1, 2011

On Tuesdays, Maile comes over for a few hours until her momma comes to pick her up.  The kids look forward to Tuesdays.  Maile knows that when I get home her momma will be home very soon.  On this day she missed her momma very much and sat looking out the window waiting for her to come home.  It was so sweet.

The new nap

Taken: Feb 27, 2011

About 6 months ago we cut out formal naps because the kids were becoming very difficult to get to bed at 8.  Now if they are tired they lay on the couch and pass out for 30-45 min.  It’s so cute to see them sleep like this!  It almost makes me miss the baby days.

Tug o’ war

Taken:  February 21, 2011

The kids play tug of war with blankets all the time.  Their twist?  They use their teeth instead of hands.  (And don’t mind Charlotte being incredibly dangerous with the train ON the ottoman…of course I grab my camera first!)

Baby Alexander Scott

My baby sister had her first baby, a boy named Alexander Scott.  He is so adorable and was a doll for photos.  These were taken at 11 days old I love how most of them turned out, especially for only being my second newborn!
