Happy Halloween from the MONARCH Butterflies!

Leah wanted to be a spider (Charlotte from Charlotte's Web to be exact) but I couldn't find a cute spider costume. So, she settled for the next best thing, a monarch butterfly. Yes, it had to be a monarch : ) Maura came along for the ride...two butterflies were cuter than one : )

Fall Fun

Happy birthday to Leah Ruth, 4 years old today!
A party with friends, a party with family, and a celebration today...what a lucky girl!

Leah's first day of pre-k. You'd think this was the first time I'd left her at school...I cried like a baby! Must have been because she didn't cry at all : )

We're baack!

Hello everyone! I've decided, with my new part-time career life, that there is no excuse to NOT blog more often. So, here we are, Maura 18 months and Leah nearly 4, back on the web.Here are some summer fun pics to get things rolling again.

Fun in the Leaves

Thought you might enjoy some of these funny leaf-play pics! Maura was having fun for awhile, until Leah started playing "tackle the baby"!

Sisters

At 6 months and nearly 3 years old, Leah and Maura are buds. Leah loves making Maura smile and Maura watches Leah with adoration. Ah, if only it could stay this way...
