Man it has been awhile. I recently went to take a picture and the camera said I had over 100 pictures on there and needed to get them off or I couldn't take anymore! Our little family is doing wonderful. We are starting potty training with the girls, Claire and Emma are the most interested and Stella is a bit shy. They will turn 2 the first of March! Jack is 5 months old and the happiest baby I ever saw. He is rolling over and jumping in the jumper like he is in training for the Olympics. Stella is Jack's keeper, she is always looking out for him and playing with him. The girls are also talking up a storm and learning new words and phrases everyday so watch what you say in their company or we might hear about it! An Update on my brother Tim: New cancerous spots were found near his spine, he went to The Mayo clinic in Rochester and had them removed. His operation when great and they will talk to a doctor to make a plan for the best way to continuing to fight this cancer. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Okay now for the good part...the pictures!
We ventured out on Halloween with our little princesses and had great fun! Grandma Hillmann was here and went along too. We only went to visit 4 neighbors but ended up with plenty of suckers and other goodies. The girls were very proud of their candy buckets and costumes and really cruised down the sidewalks.
Jack is 2 months old and doing great! He is now 11 pounds 5 ounces and sleeps for long periods at night. The sisters love Jack a lot and are very helpful with him.
The girls got their first chance to color today, and they loved it. We had a wonderful fall day and our neighbor Rita invited us over for cookie and to explore (pick) the flowers in her flower garden. Emma using the two fisted technique.
Claire pointing out her fine work.
Stella carefully choosing her next color.
Yesterday was a crazy day! The little angels cleared out the bedroom closet instead of napping...arrrr..So daddy had to work on a solution while mommy made dinner...so the girls entertained themselves for a while. Claire decided to put on Victoria's Secret hat......
....Emma decided to lay on the kitchen rug with her fingers in Stella's mouth...yep seconds later she lay in tears with a sore finger.
Then they got a cob of corn to work on while the steak was grilling.
