Look who came to visit!

This morning as the kids were eating lunch, I heard a scratching sound at the back door. I looked to see who it was and saw this huge soft shell turtle trying to get in! This kind bites (Carl says), so we all just got to look for a minute (but not touch). Then Carl and the kids drove to a nearby canal to let him go. You can see some scratches on his shell from crawling under our fence. Poor thing.

What Chloe Loves

Chloe starts preschool tomorrow. Her teacher asked us to send in a picture of her plus 6 pictures of things she loves. We had fun taking pictures tonight of 'what Chloe loves.' These ideas are all hers (but they are not all her ideas - she could have gone on all night...). Sorry, some of the pics are blurry.

Have Pickup, will play in the mud

Happy 2-month birthday Cadie!

This one is my favorite. She finally smiled when she saw daddy!

Shorts

So I found this really cute material at joannes for only 50 cents a yard and I bought all they had left (1.5 yards). Don't you love the kids' shorts? Carl got a little cranky during the photo shoot. Now I should probably make some for Cadie :).

BTW, the pattern came from youcanmakethis.com (knit ruffle pants---shorter and without the ruffle, of course!).

Cadie is One Month Old!

Love those blue eyes. I weighed her this morning on my bathroom scale and she was 10.4 lbs! I think she's trying to keep up with her cousin Claire since their due dates were only 1 day apart. Happy Birthday Cadie!!!

Day at the pool

This was a week ago, but we had so much fun that I still wanted to put the pictures up. Little Cadie slept through the whole thing!
