February in the 'burbs

Abbie waiting patiently for her rhythmic class - commenting on the two year olds doing their class saying, "Aren't they CUTE? Look at them dancing...soooo cute!" Funny b/c at four, she apparently considers herself soooo much older!


Ballerina takes a quick break - mid twirl - to breastfeed her "baby"...or so I'm told :-)


Three pairs of little toes...yum. I love the sound of these little feet prancing around the house...I hope I always remember those sounds...



My proud moment: At my four month doctor visit I proved I own the title "Plumpest Sister of All!"

A recent visit to the Museum of Science and Industry and what was the favorite? The phones to listen to the narrator describing an exhibit!

Steering the giant ship's wheel - I was surprised at how heavy it really was! Those dramatic movie scenes in which the captain struggles to control the ship on a thrashing sea really could be genuine ;-)


Soaking up some Vitamin D

Tummy Time

Daddy LOVES those Lincoln Logs! I was cleaning them up one night after the girls had gone to bed and he said (and I quote), "Wait - don't put those away just yet I had some ideas I wanted to try out - I feel like I can't quite fully reach my potential when I'm building with the girls due to their desire to knock everything I build over...I might tinker with them for a bit tonight!" And he did...;-)

Daddy handling The Three all by himself at the Museum of Science and Industry...maybe I should slip away for a coffee break...

Bathing Baby...

A real doll for this one...

Last but not least - a trick of the eye at the Children's Museum that made my heart skip a beat - Just how many two year old Izzies could we handle?? Glad I'm not the Octamom...

Rhythmic gynmastics

Abbie and Isabel have been taking a rhythmic gynmastics class to keep busy this winter and they've been enjoying it!

They insist on wearing full leotard apparel for the class!


Ah Tummy Time...little Emelia has lots of company...

Peek-a-boo! Happy February!

Some video entertainment...thank goodness for big boxes!
