Dancing Queen

Dance classes have begun again. Maisie was sure excited to get started. (Where is Meg? I think she was rollerblading whilst I took these pictures last Tuesday.)

 

 

Bugs

Austin doesn't kill the bugs at our house, I do. He has even delegated the job of bug slayer to Nick. One evening I was working with Andy and I overheard Austin narrating to Nick as to how to kill a cricket. A couple of loud whacks later, and I heard Austin's further narration to use a kleenex, pick up the cricket's whithering carcass and flush it. The sound of a swirling toilet sure made me belly laugh, because I knew Nick had successfully slayed yet another cricket. These pictures prove our love for bugs.

 

 

 

 

The Remote is Shrinking

Our remote is shrinking, or rather, our Maddie-baby is getting so big. She is 13+ pounds, almost tripling her birth weight. Maddie is the perfect baby for our family. I just wish she'd slow her growth.
2weeks.

 

A little over a month. (We were in CA, so I didn't have the remote.)

 

Two months.

 

Three months.

 

Weekends

Soccer season is here; Meg and Andy are both playing. Saturday morning we (all 5 children and I and no Austin) spent two plus hours at the field watching soccer games. Meg played hard with the girls her age, and Andy scored during his game. However, I learned something fierce this weekend -- I will never go to games without Austin again. Ever. I was pretty close to death afterward, I can't really figure out why. I suppose I don't even want to analyze and understand why. I was utterly defeated afterward.

 

 

 

Make-up

Maisie's cute friend gave her make-up for her birthday. Maisie dolled up both her and Nick. I wish you could see the texture due to the tickness of the application.
