Wall of Fame

It was picture day yesterday. Daddy took the boys to get pictures taken as a surprise for Mommy and the girls brought home their school pictures as well. I think they turned out pretty nice, what about you?

Alex Loves Taking Pictures

One of these days, I'll have to have Alex's "12 of 12" like I see on other blogs. Alex took over 100 pictures within a 5 minute span while Daddy was warming Benjamin's bottle the other day. Then, Daddy put him to work and had him take a picture of Benjamin's first attempt at eating cereal. Didn't turn out too bad! The cereal and the picture;)

Halloween All Weekend Long

Elizabeth and Caryn started Halloween Weekend with the annual MQS Halloween Dance. Elizabeth changed her mind about a thousand times and finally settled on being a flower girl. Caryn also changed her mind several times going from Dora to Little Mermaid and finally Cinderella.


Saturday was the Stroll down Greenfield Ave. The local businesses join in trick or treating and give treats. 40 businesses in a 6 block area and two hours of walking!



Sunday was the neighborhood Trick-or-treating and it was a cold afternoon. Caryn didn't even want to go, but went around the block anyway. Alex was totally into it and has enough candy to last him till he's potty-trained and Elizabeth, I believe, is still out trick-or-treating ;)

Family Photo

The boys are sleeping this afternoon. Alex hasn't been feeling good lately with a running nose, coughing and willing to take a nap. Today, we visited are daycare friends for music and he just sat on his teacher's lap. I could tell he was missing daycare a bit since after our music was over, he got in line with the other 2 yr. olds and was ready to go back to their class. He was fine once we got home and rode our bikes for a while. Ben was awake the whole music session, but just chilled in his car seat watching all the kids move and dance along with Daddy too.

The leaves are falling off the trees and Mommy's favorite time to take pictures is here. Here's a nice family picture. Everyone is actually smiling and looking with the exception of baby, but I'll take it.

Doctor Visit

4 month visit today. All is well: 16lbs. 14oz. and 27 1/2 inches long.

Today, we tried the saucer once again. Three weeks ago, it was not so good. Today, BT loved reaching for all the toys and enjoyed the attention he got from A especially since it was naptime and A was getting away with something.

Not sure how much he likes Discovery Boy Toy, but it is such a great little toy and doesn't make much noise. He does seem to be warming up to it a bit.

Where are the Benjamin Pictures?

Four children definitely make it interesting when taking pictures. Unfortunately, poor little BT will probably never have any pictures of himself alone. Luckily, our three other kids love riding their bikes and while the big kids were playing BT got to smile all alone. Already four months old. Growing fast and definitely getting a personality all of his own. Teethers are starting to come in. We see the doctor for his 4 month check up on Monday. Now, that Daddy is home, he'll be doing the visits.
