Wicked!

P.S. I added so many new posts that you'll have to either use the links on the side bar or click on "older posts" at the bottom of the screen...they don't all show up on this main page. First new post is called "Little Lady and Gentleman".

Here lie the innards of six large pumpkins.

Yesterday I cleaned out six pumpkins for our Young Men/Young Women Halloween Party pumpkin carving contest.

She likes it!

Rice cereal, that is. We started on Tuesday. I was planning to wait until six months, but she looked at my food so longingly every time I ate, that I just couldn't hold out any longer!

Binkey Face.

Brooklyn was up to her old tricks taking out and replacing Olivia's pacifier. It was her favorite pass time while they were here...possibly bordering on obsessive. :) She could find a pacifier anywhere, and always brought it to Olivia (unless she was having a quick suck herself). I think they bonded.

It was so fun to have cousin time. Olivia was a fan. One day every time Brookie would so much as look at Olivia, Livi would burst out laughing. It was great!

Dzon!

Brooklyn fell in love with Jon one night. She ran to him crying after he went down in the basement to do something, and wouldn't let anyone else hold her. When Maria tried to feed her applesauce Brooklyn took it away from her and gave it to Jon so he could feed her. When Maria and Shane finally took Brooklyn up to bed, she cried "Dzon! Dzon! Dzon!" (Jon) the whole way up the stairs. Anyone who knows Brooklyn, and how reticent she is to go to anyone other than her mom or dad knows how amazing this is.

Cousin Dinner!

We LOVE Philadelphia

...and each other!
