Big brothers and little sisters alike enjoy the trains at Breton Village.

I'm home!

Playdate with Ayvah while the big kids are in school. :)

Always eager to join in the fun.

I think she's adopting him as her little brother.

Fun on Uncle Mark's quad...

With joy and thanksgiving...

Baby girl after having tubes put in.

Found this one on the camera...so pretty sure photo cred goes to Lolo.

A laidback bedtime routine knowing daddy will be home for the next 6 days!

Beautiful sweater made by my dear friend Elizabeth who lives in NH with her 3 young children and still manages to spoil us with her awesome skills. :)

a week with very little sleep and no shaving resulted in a finished project after a few years of work...congrats to our shining star! :)

"Dear Mommy. I love you. I hope you love me. I hope you have a g'day." :)

we have a ham in the family...

Operation Shoebox!

Someone's in search of snow

Happy Birthdays!

Date night with Daddy

11 sleepy kids at 11:11 on 11.11.11 (Ok so I substituted a doll for M.)
Just think how tired we'll all be next year for the big 12.12.12...

And so it begins...funny how different Mommy's reaction was from the kids'

Honey bread...a warm treat on a blustery day.

One of sister baby's favorite activities...when it's time to turn the water off, there's a tantrum every time.

Lauren's traditional birthday treat. Only this year her teacher doesn't allow cupcakes. So this year I learned how much more time consuming making Hello Kitty cookies is...pretty sure we could've bought something way cooler for the time I spent. ;)

Feeling a bit better and ready to jump into another year!

Sadly this is the only picture we took of our slightly under-the-weather birthday girl.

Oh what a night...congrats Brian and LeeAnn!

Rehearsal Dinner..great food & fun.

Such determination...maybe by spring her feet will actually touch the pedals.

Oh sweet goodness...enjoying his spoils.
(And I love those pre-haircut curls)
