Weekend's almost over...

Anyone who knows Mark knows he starts saying that around 10:ooam Saturday morning. Here are some cute family pics of Nora - taken while Iris slept.Daddy stole kisses. Nora wearing a random headband we found in the sock drawer. It's part of her Olivia Newton John "Let's Get Physical" ensemble.

The Rave

Iris has a new night-time hobby. Twice this week, she woke up at 3:00 WIDE AWAKE and ready to party! I tried to lull her back to sleep with a bottle. Clearly, it was loaded with the new Enfamil Energy with Ginseng formula or a Starbuck's double Macchiato because she would NOT go back to sleep. She was laughing and kicking and screaming....waving her arms. I employed my old tried and true tactics (most of which involve some form of rocking). Didn't work. Both nights, after an hour-and-a-half, she went back to sleep. Is it possible that she is nocturnal like the Wallaby? Regardless, Mark and I have decided to set up the guest room as a second "satelite" nursery for Nora so she doesn't have to be subjected to the early morning, Club 54 disco groove antics of her big sister.

Happy Birthday Mom and Dad!

My parents are fortunate enough to share the same birthday. Enjoy your special day! We're thinking about you!

Stressful Sitting

Since Molly is in town for two weeks, we decided it might be "fun" to have a professional photo session with all the bambinos......eh... Do we look stressed? Can you see the little beads of sweat on our foreheads?
Can you believe these goofballs?
All the kids chilling in their boat outfits. We're lucky there weren't any head injuries, I suppose.
Yay, yay little ladies!

Lake Trip

We haven't posted for awhile because Molly and her family have been up and we spent a few days at the lake.... Here I am bribing my nephew, James, with Cheetos. Very effective.
Iris and Nora sitting in their bumbo seats gabbing about shoes and boys.
Look at these crazies bobbing around in the lake.
All the kiddos on their playmat. Looks like Bodie's giving Nora a shiner - show her who's boss early. Great times with the fam!
