Here's a bunch of random photos in no particular order.
Paigey, Paige! Below, she's opening her birthday present, which she chucked on the floor seconds later. She didn't want to open any presents, so we decided to finish her birthday the next day when it was much less hectic. After all, she did just have Christmas 3 days earlier, plus she bought a house and was moving on her birthday.
Paige is becoming funner and funner and we always get a kick out of the things she says (which is just about everything). She is quite the helper. She is always on spit-up patrol and is so sweet to Abby, although she can be a little too helpful. Short story: the other day Paige went in Abby's room (while Abby was sleeping) and climbed in her crib with the snot sucker to clean Abby's nose. We have since put child-proof covers on the doors.
Julian put together this little collage of our home.
Ogden and Kaelyn on Valentine's Day.
Ogden earns his Bobcat. I sure do love the scouting program! Ogden does too and is growing up way too fast. He is very friendly and personable. Apparently, Ogden is a little too friendly during class at school and reported that he got a special seat--right next to the teacher AND he's all by himself. He thought that was pretty cool, since he loves his teacher!
Kaelyn's 6th birthday. We have a tradition of putting a candle in all the meals of the birthday child, so Kaelyn is about to blow out a candle in her plate of grits--her favorite! Kaelyn is a big help to me and is a great student. We had a great day celebrating her birthday as a family. She chose Chuck E. Cheese for her family activity and then we went to Krispie Kreme for a birthday treat.
Abby is crawling all over the place and pulling herself up on everything. At her 9 month check-up she weighed in at 13 lbs 12 oz. She is such a little bug! All of our kids have tended to reach their milestones at the lower end of the "normal" scale, so it seems like Abby is doing rolling over, sitting, crawling, and standing so early, even though she's still normal. And she is so pleasant! I'm loving our smiley Riley!
Dad gets Ogden a BB gun. Pretty cool stuff, shooting at soda cans, leftover toast, and whatever else.

Have I told you that you make me laugh? Both times I read your comment on my blog today, I laughed out loud. :) Maybe it was just relief that someone else can feel my (or I guess Clara's) pain in having a toddler who isn't mature enough to understand that babies do not like their toes bit, faces pounded into the ground, or giving horsey rides to two year olds. :) Also, I'm really glad that someone else is just running around cleaning up the same thing over and over and over again - all while seemingly "not accomplishing anything." Plus. You're just fun. Thanks for the sympathy today. :)
PS - in the next life, let's be neighbors. :)
