SANTA!

Eliza can clearly say "Santa." But we ask her often, "Do you love Santa?"... and she very emphatically shakes her head NO! Don't you just love this picture?!?

5 then 6

In the above picture my sweet Bennett is 6! I took a picture on the last day he was 5. It's the picture below. Does he look younger :)??

Bennett loves to run, ride his bike, color, and imagine up cool ideas! He enjoys learning how to do things to make himself more independent...like make his own Coco Wheats in the morning. He loves to be outside and stay active. He's what one might call "all boy." He takes good care of his sisters and they both adore him. He can be very thoughtful. Once when watching a commercial about the possibility of winning a trip to Disney Land, he initially said "I want to win!" Then several minutes later said "Oh never mind." I asked him why he changed his mind and his response was that the commercial said it was a trip for 4 and we have 5 in our family and he wouldn't want to leave anyone behind :). We love our boy!

there are no words...

A Little of ELIZA!

all things FALL

Halloween Story Time

Okay. Here we go...(not in chronological order)

Annabelle had her first day of preschool.



We cheered on the Magi at one of our home football games.

Annabelle, Eliza and I, along with friends, visited Savannah's dad's work. The kids had a great time climbing into all the trucks.



Bennett had his first day of kindergarten.
We enjoyed the last few days of summer to the fullest.



In the following videos we are CLEARLY (sorry about our annoying voices) trying to get Eliza to say touchdown. She was saying it so well up until I got the camera out but she was being silly so I thought the videos were worth posting.

And the final video I have is of Eliza taking some of her FIRST STEPS!! Today (9/27/11) she decided that walking might be worth a try. FUN FUN!
