PJs

Caleb and Sarah are fast outgrowing their 9 month clothes. Here are some photos of them in their new 12 month PJs.

Sarah rocking the pigtails. If only for a minute.

Fun with (unused) diapers.

Pictures - not from the Hunt

This photo is from yesterday...which was an uneventful day. But I love Caleb's tongue out here. Sarah does the same, except her's is always to one side while Caleb's is always in the middle.Caleb rocking his long haur, and the tongue.

Can't get enough.

This face, kissy face with sound effects and everything.

I'm experimenting with Sarah's hair. I can barely do my own. Here she is in a "Pebbles" 'do.

Caleb - or Bam-Bam - is intrigued. I am tired.

Caleb goes for it and we take out the clip.

I have to say, for all the hair-pulling and fighting over toys, they are best of friends. My heart melts when they smile at each other. Sharing in some secret from the womb or something.

From Attic to Playroom

Many of our pictures are taken in the playroom - aka the attic. It was just about a year ago that we finished the attic space. This is what it looked like before.

We put up a wall straight across in line with the cedar closet.

Windows at the front of the house. We had to build a platform to house the ac tubes. The windows will be replaced next.

This is the corner where I currently have my office.

Staircase was scary, we built up some walls. Last thing to do here is to install a railing.

...the cats enjoy this spot very much. 3 of 4 are pictured here.

I learn something new every day

Today, Sarah learned to pull herself up. Caleb learned to walk with his new Cozy Coupe. I learned some things, too:
A spoon can keep Caleb busy for about 5 minutes.
Sarah's teeth are sharp and can break skin. Brushing teeth is not fun.
Shop Rite is never not busy.
It's possible to slice off your nail with a vegetable peeler.
God wants me to be happy - at least that's what the Jehovah's witness told me. Stay tuned.

Sunday Fun

We had a great day today - Matt and I were excited to spend the day with the babies after missing them yesterday. Yesterday, we went to cousin Ricky's wedding down the shore. The wedding was beautiful and we had a really fun time, but only got to spend a couple hours with the little ones.

They had a great nap this morning, then we went to the diner for lunch (where I saw Lorenzo Borghese from the Bachelor, and Short Hills—this is my second sighting, Meg and I saw him before the show started...I thought he was Jamie Monica when we saw him at Basilico). We then hit Target and finally did our pumpkin carvings.

Sarah loving her table from Amy (a recurring theme).

Hanging out in our matching cardigans from Meemaw - funny thing is she bought these for last winter thinking that they'd be big (6-9 month size) but they fit them now perfectly!
Playing together (aka stealing each other's toys)
Pumpkin carving time...

Matt the pumpkin artist

And...tada - Matt carved the two big ones (Matt and me, and the little one on the left. I carved baby pumpkin on the right). Next up, toasted pumpkin seeds!!

A Surprise Playdate

Lizzie and Nate stopped by for an impromptu playdate. I love watching Lizzie mother Nate - she's a pro. I take notes. She also had Caleb standing by himself.

Sarah enjoying the table from Amy and some loving from Lizzie.

Caleb enjoying Dad's lap.

Nate enjoying the tunnel.

And a fire truck which he shared very nicely with Caleb.

We also had a visit from Grandma who to got to see some of Sarah's new poses. She's getting better and better at crawling every day.

Tuesday Fun

We all had a great day today. Matt got up with the little ones and let me sleep in (yay!), Papa Ron AND Aunt Amy visited. And I got word that I may be re-employed soon. Woo hoo! I didn't get any pictures of Ron and Sarah (Caleb was sleeping) but he was quite smitten with the little doll. She obliged with lots of poses. Amy fed Sarah her lunch - cuteness.



Amy feeding Sarah yogurt and then avacado and banana.


Caleb chilling with Barbara. I'm so lucky to have found Barbara - she's a great asset to our family. The babies LOVE her.
