What a Pretty Baby!

Aly's hair is turning strawberry blond and she has the brightest blue eyes. She loves watching Payton and laughs whenever Payton talks to her. We're so blessed to have such a wonderful baby!

My Super Smiley Girls

You're going to feed me WHAT?!?

Alyson is not so sure about her rice cereal yet.

Madeleine and Alyson

Alyson was cuddled and cared for very well this weekend by her grandparents, cousins and her aunt and uncle. Madeleine really took interest in helping with Alyson. She held her several times and even helped give her a bath. Too bad the girls don't live closer...they are great help!

Sugar Plum Fairy

Payton and her cousin Sigrid were Sugar Plum Fairies in the Marcus Kiddie Parade. Madeleine was Daphne from Scooby Doo and Greta was Fancy Nancy from her favorite book. Payton was not thrilled about wearing the headband or walking across the stage, so Mommy went with her and Sigrid. The second picture is more telling of her attitude about the whole thing. She kept asking to go see the horsies and jump in the inflatables. All that to say, Sigrid and Payton won first place in their division. She got her first blue ribbon and got to see the horsies and jump until it was time for bed. What a weekend!

Payton and Friends

Last night we had some good friends over for supper. The kids had a great time playing together. I bet you can't guess what we had for dessert! :)
