Chloe

Hanging out with Darcy, having a snack.

Wearing a backpack, just like Kevin and Darcy!
Sick day on the Tigger couch. She only stayed put for about 1 minute though.

She loves trying on everyone's shoes. These happen to be Daddy's, can you tell?

Little Chef

She loves the Little People toys, especially if they make music.

She actually likes Clayton to read ESPN magazine to her, crazy kid!

November happenings

Our old glass dining room table.

Our brand new dining room table from IKEA, all set for Thanksgiving!

Darcy showing off one of our two new kid chairs from IKEA.

Kevin lost his third tooth on Thanksgiving! One of the top ones, so he looks a lot different now!

Darcy's photography...she did a pretty good job I think!

Sisters. :)

Taking a walk on a freezing cold day, just to get sick Chloe and sick Mommy out of the sick house for a while!

Clayton and Kelly have taken a couple of tandem mountain bike rides together! Fun, fun!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving with Mom, Dad, and Nathan visiting! We hope you all had a great holiday too!

Mom, Chloe and I got to go to Darcy's preschool Thanksgiving feast. Chloe thought she was a preschooler for the day! The kids dressed up as Indians, and Darcy was named "Falling Snow."

Darcy playing and dancing on cushions in her leotard while watching the Macy's Day parade.

Giving Grandpa lots of love!


Chloe and Uncle Nathan hanging out.

Mmmmm....Thanksgiving is yummy! Had all the favorites; couldn't leave anything out!


Want some pie with your Cool Whip?

Halloween 2008

Picking out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch...day before Halloween!Happy Halloween! Kevin flew off to school in his rocket as an astronaut. (But really, no rocket, just a minivan.)

Darcy was a mouse for her preschool parade and party, which Chloe and I attended.

Then in the afternoon, Darcy did a quick wardrobe change, becoming Cinderella to match with Chloe. And Kevin wanted a sun and moon painted on his face. Then we headed to Publix for games and pumpkin painting. After a hot dog and beans quick dinner, we headed to a few houses in the neighborhood to beg for candy. :)

A great, sugar-filled day was had by all!

Family

Some fun pictures of Mom and Nathan's visit, and of our family just playing around!

Darcy liked to play "baby" with Grandma. Yes, this is my 5-year-old in the baby crib.

Darcy had funny day at school, so she wore this little beret with a headband on top. All her idea!

Our date night while Mom was in town.

Kevin and Daddy roughhousing. Thankfully, this didn't end in tears, just laughter. :)

Darcy has many creative ways of doing her hair. Here's one of them. And no, this isn't for funny day at school. This is just Darcy looking fashionable!

Chloe Isabelle

Here's the latest happenings with Chloe, now 16 months old.

Wanting to be just like Kevin and Darcy, this girl loves pens, pencils, crayons, markers and paper! She sometimes forgets the paper though. :)

Got into Mommy's lipstick while we were getting ready Sunday morning. She needs some lessons on applying makeup, don't you think? (Check out the teeth.)

Hamming it up in the bathtub. That's all the hair I could get to stand up on her bald little head!

Loves wearing bracelets and necklaces.

And she is thrilled by balloons, so Darcy's party was awesome in Chloe's opinion!

Trying out Darcy's lap desk (and eating from Darcy's bowl.) She looks a little guilty to me, like she's afraid she just got caught doing something wrong.

Climbing, her new favorite sport. Sigh...here we go again, a daily battle to prevent head injuries, missing teeth, and broken limbs. :)
