The boys are watching Brandon mark on the wood and measure where he needs to cut it.
Anything with tools is awesome! Even if it's just a little measuring tool...
While he cuts. Isaiah thinks hearing protection would be good.
Being cute...wearing a sweater in the 80ยบ weather.
Tasting leaves. The wild rabbits like it.
Climbing trees
Come on, everyone! Smile! Don't roll out of the frame! Smile! The grass is not itchy! Smile! It's not too bright! That'll do.
Trying out a different tree.
Trying to capture both of us.
She made a bunk bed. Can you tell Noah is just thrilled with the bottom bunk?
They are dancing in the ball.
Dancing with flair and style!
Back to watching Daddy.
Now they all are watching Daddy. (Even Jubilee who isn't pictured has eyes only for her daddy at times, and whatever loud stuff he was doing over there was rather interesting.)
Watching daddy and playing with the empty grape bowl from our snack...of which she didn't get any... Stinks to not have teeth... :(
Doesn't a bowl of this caliber usually have something good in it? All I'm finding is the sweet smell of grape juice. Do you have any of that, Mom?
Practicing rolling around.
When she's elevated as much as the picture before this, she can work her way into a sitting position. Still can't crawl, but she can sit and get into a sitting position.
Almost there...didn't get a good picture of the results...a few little heads got in my way and brought her a binky and a puzzle.
This puzzle makes noise when the light hits it. That way when you put a piece in, it rewards your efforts. (It's actually quite annoying because one piece is always lost...and the puzzle is as old as Abby and it still hasn't died yet but walking across a room or tuning off a light or the wind flickering the tree light outside can all trigger it...and there's always ONE piece not in it's spot...a different piece every time, but always one...) All that to say, it's a great reward toy for even a baby who can't work puzzles yet because it makes noise even when she hits the spots in the right way.
Hmmm...Maybe this one will fit here... I guess a car sounds like a helicopter. Yep. It does. See. It made a noise when I put it here.
Cute smile--These are from my computer's webcam.
She was cuddling with Liz's blanket one day. She likes to put blankets on her face...especially soft fluffy ones.
Emma: Let's take a picture together Mommy!
Me: I haven't brushed my hair yet this morning.
Emma: That's okay. You look beautiful.
Taking a picture of himself for Liz--He misses her!
Them showing Liz a book, while Abby tries to spell the title for Liz on the chat part of Brandon's phone.
Sending Liz voice messages and chat stuff on Brandon's phone.
I think both the kids and Liz really enjoyed this.
Abby really enjoys Addy because their names are similar. She's working on the words in these books but they are really designed for kids around the age of 9 and some of the words are a bit hard.
I was organizing my sewing closet and I heard Isaiah singing, "Flying Birdie! Flying Birdie!" This is what he was doing with her. That's her laughing face, by the way, not her "I don't like this face."
Besides, she's just heavy enough to get the upper hand if she just rolls over on him and he can't move much anymore.
Wresting Liz's blanket again.
This position would probably kill my legs if I tried it today.
I think he's allergic to mosquitos. See the bump on his eye? He swells up a lot when he gets bit esp on the head.
