Smiles, Smiles and More Smiles....

Here's Elsie Rae presenting her "littlest" brother with a picture she drew for him. He looks enthralled, doesn't he? :)


He LOVES his big sister and lights up whenever he hears her voice.





Jake posing with his many "gifts" from big sis.


Isn't this a cute little smile? He certainly knows how to turn it on now!

Visiting Grandparents

We had a lovely visit with Grandma and Grandpa H. yesterday. Here's Jacob and his Great Grandma.


And Jacob Robert and Great Grandpa. :)

We hope to do it again soon!


After many hours of driving though, kids get a little goofy.... The pictures to follow show the after effects of over four hours of driving... :) HYPER KIDS, having (what they called) a "dance party"!!








Even Jacob was wound right up!













I think next time we might have to make it an overnight trip. :)


I just had to throw this one on here too. This is what I found coming down the hall this morning... lol.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Over the weekend Elsie and Sam received some early Valentines. They were SO excited to get mail and open them up. Thank you so much Mark, Grace, Luke, Kim, Grandma and Grandpa H., Georgia, Josie, Emmy, and Margie, and Aunt Keely! They felt very loved. :)


I think Elsie's eyes were on those chocolates! ;)

This and That

Elsie recently fed Jacob his very first bottle.


Our snowman head the kids made recently (it wasn't good packing snow so they could only make a head!). Thanks Kerry for the snowman kit!


Look at this big boy!


He's holding his head up so well.


Wardrobe malfunction... Elsie was getting herself dressed and came out to the kitchen pretty frustrated saying she couldn't get her shirt zipped. It was upside down.... Silly girl!



Smiling at Mom.

And again...


Ladies of the house.


I'm having a bad hair day... Leave me alone.

Happy Little Guy

Jacob is growing so fast and changing every day!




I just love this little smile! :)

Once in a while after the kids are to bed, Matt will build something "cool" out of the kids' blocks and leave it out for them to discover in the morning. Here they are checking out this particular morning's sculptures. :)


And this little guy is growing like a weed!

Smirks and Smiles!

Jacob's a big smiler these days!







And if you look closely at this one you can see a glimpse of the haircut that Elsie gave herself last week. She now has bangs (really short crooked ones!), and all because she says her "hair was in her eyes..." We won't be using scissors for awhile. :)
