Bathing Beauties

The more bubbles - the better. We consider it a good day if we don't have to change soaked clothes at the end of this fiasco - especially since Kate started swim lessons. Her teacher suggested she practice kicking in the tub. Thanks Swim Teacher Kelly. Thank you very much.

For the love of books

Anneliese is following in the footsteps of her big sister in her love of books. A serious love of books. We carry baskets of them everywhere we go. And she spends a good portion of each day transporting piles of books from the playroom to her bed, like a little army ant. Thank you Forsyth County Public Library for bringing a little variety into our lives!

Snow Days

We finally had a decent snow here in Winston. And although our snow was too fluffy to make a good snowman - it did make for some good sledding! Me and Anneliese had our fill of the cold a little earlier than Blake and Kate and decided to watch from the warm house with the pups. Good times!

Anneliese

She's growing up so fast - and since the second child always gets the shaft in the picture category, I thought I'd dedicate this post to pretty little, crazy little, funny little wild Anneliese.

Dress Ups

Anneliese loves a hat. Luckily the bucket is hiding the fact that she also loves to go bottomless. Kate just loves to be Fancy. Fancy Nancy, that is.

Still Kickin' It

Oh Chunky. Sweet Fletch will turn 12 years old in June. And while he probably holds the record for the heftiest beagle around at 73 lbs. - he's still pretty frisky. Especially at meal time.

Valentine's Slippers

One of the things the girls got for Valentine's Day was a cheapo little pair of princess bedroom slippers. Anneliese really liked hers. And yes, the girls do wear clothes. Sometimes.

Excuses, Excuses

The anxiety of coming up with something witty and clever to say with each post is keeping me from doing what I intended to do - which is to try to keep up with this stinkin' thing. So - no more witty. No more clever. Just more pictures. Hopefully.
