For all the moms out there!

Here is a website by a friend of mine about childrens' nutrition. I will add it to my new blog roll on my side bar too. This is such a great idea since this is a constant battle we moms face.

His Best Colors

The kids all have different skin tones. I think Hannah looks yummy in yellows, Genna looks pretty in purples, and they both look beautiful in pale blues! Isaac seems to look his best in browns, tans, and navy/dark blues...earthy tones. See what I mean?

I crocheted this hat for him when I was pregnant.

Now, I never actually saw Austin Powers, but I've seen commercials of it and seen people do impressions of Dr. Evil. Does this remind anyone else of Dr. Evil with the pinky finger? (I think I have the name right.)

Pretty Little Painters

Hannah actually got paint on her eyelid this time! I was surprised to see anything on her! Usually her hands are even clean!


Genna has her apron on because she's the messy one! Every time we get out the paints she tells me how Poppa Boat taught her to make a hand print with the paints. Thanks Poppa Boat!

Playing Candyland Solo

Here's a cute video of Genna playing Candyland all by herself. I thought it was funny. She is hard to hear at some points, but you can hear most of it. Hannah and her played it together yesterday all by themselves for the first time. I was cooking dinner so I was not watching to see if they were really playing correctly, but i could hear Hannah directing Genna on where to move and when it was her turn.

Isaac's Movie Debut!

This isn't really super interesting since he's not doing much yet, but I thought his relatives overseas may want to see it since most of them haven't met him yet.

Daddy time! It's inevitable that within moments of handing him off to Daddy, he's fast asleep!

Here's the tail end of his smile. It's as close as I have gotten to catching it on camera so far.

Since we have tile floor, this is his spot when we are down stairs. I have my yoga mat under his blanket on the rug to make it as soft as possible. Of course, he's got his swing, his highchair, and his vibrating seat to choose from as well.

Here he is in his reclining highchair where he can watch Mommy cook.

Dress Up Queens

Here are my goofy girls all dressed up! Genna told me they were going to the Wizard of Oz.

Frühstück mit meiner Familie am Kindergarten

Translation: Breakfast with my family at kindergarten

Today was a very special day, and so, of course, we overslept! So I was rushing to have us all dressed and looking half decent for Hannah's breakfast at her kindergarten. We made it though! We had German breakfast (a potluck) and then the older kids did a little puppet show. Then the younger ones, Hannah included, did a song with hand motions. Usually Hannah won't let go of my leg when I'm there, but I was very proud of her for going up to participate. Genna helped a bit, I think, by going up with her at the beginning. She sang most of the song and did the hand motions too. Here are the pictures:

Here is when Genna was standing up there with her. Hannah's in the green shirt and Genna's in the pink shirt, in case you can't tell.

Here is when she's singing the song.

Here she is afterward with her proud sister!

Way to go, Hannah!
