Auntie Kamiah

We enjoyed a couple of days with Patrick's sister, Kamiah, who visited us from Chicago.   The kids kept her busy the entire time.  I hope she wasn't hoping for a relaxing couple of days because she certainly didn't get any rest...that's for sure.   Thanks Kamiah for coming up to see us!  We loved having you!
We spent an afternoon at Edinborough Park - an indoor park with lots to do

Winter continues...

With Clara so young, and Charlie still pretty young, the cold weather has us indoors quite a bit.  Adeline and Charlie now "play" together more and more....this can equate to lots of peace and laughter, OR some yelling and arguing....it makes for unpredictable days!!  When Patrick is traveling, the kids are learning to be amore patient with me, as I learn to juggle taking care of 3 kids.  I am learning to be more organized and strategic in the way I go about my day, and this makes for a little more smoothness in our days as well.

Getting out of the house takes time so why not do a little reading while waiting for mommy...

Addie has always loved going to the library and getting books.  Charlie now loves it too.  After bringing home about 25 books, the kids are laying them out to start looking at them.

sisters...

Addie's favorite headband from auntie Mary...in Addie's mind, bright red goes with anything!  Such a fashionista!

Riley and Addie got their nails done using gift certificates they both got for Christmas!



In response to "Where are your eyes?"





Can you tell Addie has had some influence on Charlie who's holding Cinderella and a Dora book?
