Cute Kids

Ethan is now 6 months old, and getting cuter by the day. Is he not the cutest little boy you've ever seen? He has no interest in rolling over just yet, but he loves to sit-up and play with his toys. What a joy!

Could she be any more proud? As I was feeding Ethan, Ashlyn comes running up, telling me how I have to see the books on the stairs. I'm envisioning a few books strewn on the steps. Little did I know that Ashlyn was creating a masterpiece. After she showed me her artwork, we played find the book. Ashlyn would hide a book between the books and the stair. We then took turns guessing where she had hidden the book. It's almost uncanny how she guessed the right book it was under every time! Kids do the darndest things...and we sure love them for it!

Rice Cereal....Yummmmmmmm!

What is this rice cereal stuff?

This spoon thing is kind of cool.

Yeah, I think I liked that.

It's a party in my mouth!

Happy Decmeber 1st!

What a perfect first day of December...the first real snowfall of the year, my two little snow angels, and a miniature frosty. We had so much fun frolicking in the snow, while Ethan watched from inside our warm house. Hope your first day of December was just as wonderful!

Happy Halloween from Emily the scary spider and our little ghost Brigham. We hope you all had a fun spooky night. The Holmes love Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Dora, Superman, and Kitty Cat had a very fun Halloween! We had to bribe Ashlyn to wear the wig (she couldn't go trick-or-treating without it on.:)) Josh had fun dressing up as a toy army man (from "Toy Story"). We stayed up late the night before Halloween spray painting everything green. My favorite part is probably the cellophane-wrapped boots (the paint didn't dry, so we wrapped them up).:) Happy Halloween!

My First Birthday Gift

Just wanted to pass on my first birthday gift since I have no idea who it is from. Apparently I've made a good impression on someone (check the address). :)

Guess where we are?

I could hear Ashlyn and Emma playing so well together from the family room. They were quoting Dora and laughing...but something sounded a little different - almost like an echo. Upon further inspection....I found the two had crawled into the dryer and were having the time of their life. Oh, to be a kid again!:)

Ethan at 3 Months

Is this the cutest boy you've ever seen, or what? I can't believe he is already 3 months old. I love his happy smiles and fun babble. He is a wonderful baby...we're so lucky.

Enjoying the last warm days...

I love evenings like this...running races, eating ice cream cones with hose attachments ("Emma, gross! Stop doing that!" (click, click)), dancing, making funny faces, and frolicking naked in the backyard (no, not all of us). We're going to miss these warm evenings, but we're looking forward to the beautiful days of fall.

Emma's Struggle

I hope you don't think we're bad parents...but I couldn't stop laughing.

The Many Faces of Ethan
