A Pumpkin for Each

Pumpkin Time!

Little Firefighters

 A busy morning at the Firehouse to learn all about fire safety!

Just Another Day

The biggest and best change we went through over the summer, was the boys really learned bow to play together. They also love having their sister along for the ride.  I can only hope this love and friendship lasts. 

7 and 8 months

Time flies when you are having fun, especially with this sweet baby girl!  MR started sitting up at 7 months. As soon as she was sturdy, she began driving her our car.  She can clear a room by rolling and scooting, although real crawling began at 8.5 months.  

First Days of School!

Big boys!  Taffe started PreK and Kingston started his 2's class.  They were thrilled about their ties and carrying school bags together.

Last beach days

Sesame Place

Road Trip! Annapolis

The kiddos and I went over to Visit Caroline and Sarah. Kingston had so much fun, he forgot he was an outstanding case of separation anxiety, and Taffe said, "Caroline and Sarah are my favorite friends."

View from MR

Sometimes, I look back at my pictures and it seems like Mae Ruth wasn't there... not the case!  She's my best girl, and she is observing the craziness from my lap, or from the best view of the Bjorn carrier. She loves watching her brothers and is all smiles when the boys (or anyone) comes to say hello. 

Water Boys

Boys at the Bar

Yes, a bar.  Doesn't seem right.

Six Months and Making a Move!

Six Months!  Mae Ruth is an excellent roller. So good she can clearly get across the floor which is a bit dangerous when left attended as I prep dinner.  In the 2nd picture, I had left her on the mat, and came back to find her all the way by the white coach. Get ready brothers!

 

Concert

The little ones and I watch T perform at his VBS concert.... well, not really perform as much as stand there in a mesmerized state.  It was priceless.  K was rocking out to the music next to me, while our "performer" didn't sing one word. We would get an occasional smile or kiss from Taffe, at which point I'd encourage him to go back to his spot and sing.

 No singing, but finally, some movement.  Best buds S&T doing a high five.

Boys of the Beach

Another trip to the beach, but this trip had the added bonus of cousins and Aunt CeCe coming.  Despite rain, the boys had a blast together.  The big boys created all sorts games together, and would disappear for lengths of time. The little boys both loved being with "Baby Mae" and took turns being the happiest and cuddliest boys of the beach.
