Fifteen months

Fifteen months... I really feel like West, Jack and Lilibeth are not babies anymore.  I thought I would be sad... especially since I have feared all along that this will just fly by and Klint and I will be returning home after dropping them off at college(s) and say to each other "How could 18 years have passed in what seems like thirty minutes?"  But I am not sad... I LOVE the little people they are becoming!

Climbing right in

I love her!  This is her first pony tail.  I have waited YEARS to do the "Pebbles" on a sweet baby girl head.

Cousin Walker Boone came for a January visit

Good buddies

Walker Boone brought his grandparents!  We all loved our visit with Joyce and David.

Still such good eaters... So thankful for that!  I hear it quickly changes...

Sweet blue eyes

We are working on saying "please"... it's slow work.

These boys crack her straight up!

Cooking in the kitchen...

Our first works of "art"

If you are a mother of small children with many small toys which find themselves ALL OVER YOUR HOUSE... buy this shopping cart now.  L, J & W love it, but that's not the point... I LOVE it for quickly picking up my toy store (I mean home).

Sweet Lili B.


Jack was having an uncharacteristically gloomy moment... I tried to cheer him up with a Christmas present from Aunt Kelly.  Our cousins had RSV for Christmas (no good!), so this was a fun after Christmas delivery.  He cheered right up with his new John Deere gear, Aunt Kelly!  He loved it so much that he would not stop long enough for me to get a pic.

"Oooooh.. mom... skinny jeans make it so hard for a girl to move." (We have ditched those silly skinny jeans!)

Jack

Lilibeth

West

We are in a new stage (as you can see from West's pic above, as well as this one of Jack).  We must see how every food item looks and feels in our hair... over AND over again.

Playing together sweetly

PJ time!  This is my look of triumph... I ALMOST have made it to bed time with my sanity still somewhat intact!

West still loves a bath!

Lili B. has a very serious conversation with the whale

Pointing at her Daddy... "I'm coming to you!"
