Happy Babies!
Here are the girls in their new outfits furnished by Papa John and Chole. You might be able to see from this picture that they love these clothes!

We think it has something to do with the fact that the word "Princess" is written on for all to see! They sure are our little princesses!

Five Months Old
A Conversation
Hey everyone! It's us again. We're five months old! Have we ever changed since you last saw us....

It's me, Catherine. You should see me sitting up now. I'm getting really good at it. I am rolling all over the place too.

Yeah, this is me just resting my eyes while I'm playing. A girl gets tired when she's busy entertaining herself.


Hey everyone! It's me Elizabeth. Went to the the doctor the other day and he told me that I weigh 17 pounds 13 ounces! As you see by my picture, I was shocked! Now I am on a new exercise regime....


Mommy says it takes a long time to be able to do this in yoga, so, I'm ahead of the curve! I'm working out and keeping fit!

Butterfly Exhibit at the Museum
Close up with Nature...

Elizabeth with Cassandra and Uncle Stuart...She's more interested in Stuart's camera it seems.

The girls with Daddy and Uncle Stuart. Took a little work, but we managed to get both of them to look at the camera at the same time - that's the babies, not Ron and Stuart (they did that all on their own!).

Happy Thanksgiving!


Ron cooked the turkey...it was just as delicious as it looked!

Here are the girls after they ate. As you can see, they are discussing what was better, the squash, or the squash. They agreed, it was the squash.

Michigan vs. Ohio State.....


The day started off with Go Blue pancakes and optimism...
Everyone was wearing U of M gear...
And, even though the Wolverines lost, was a GREAT game.
There's always next year!

4 Months Old (Well, 4 1/2)
A Conversation...


"Well Elizabeth, we are just a little older than four months now. Where does the time go? What have you been up to?"

"I'm so glad you asked! I'm eating cereal and bananas now, a wonderful combination that I highly recommend. I'm really sitting up and I am talking whenever I have the opportunity. What about you?"

"Oh, you know me. Still working on rolling over, making sure that I'm telling Mommy and Daddy EXACTLY what I like and don't like, eating like you, you know, the usual."


"Growing up is hard! It's nice to have a best friend to be by your side at all times!"

R.I.P. ANDREW
2005 - 2006

Andrew was Parker's fish. Andrew was a gorgeous fish. Unfortunately, Andrew is no longer swimming in his tank but has gone on to Fish Heaven.
We enjoyed you while you were here, Andrew. We especially liked watching you swim and hide in your tree. You will be missed.

All Together Now!

All the kids together before bedtime...It was tricky getting EVERYONE to look at the camera at the same time.
Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Here are the babies with Mom and Dad. The babies came to Mommy's work to do a little trick or treating! As you can see, it totally wore them out! They did bring home a small stash. We'll save it for them for next year....right!

Costumes!

Parker as a Vampire!

Noel as a Snow Princess!

Sweet and Scary. Now onto Trick or Treating!

Halloween Prep!

Slimy guts! Lots of seeds. Yuck!

This guy turned out pretty cool, don't you think?

Red Ribbon Week at School -

Today the kids wore scary hair to "scare away drugs" as part of Red Ribbon Week. See the results!:


Brush With Greatness!

Wow! Now this is exciting! Parker and Noel met Brandon Backe at the Friendswood Smoothie King. Grandma had picked them up from school and went to take them out for a treat and boy did she deliver! He was very sweet to the kids and spent about 20 minutes talking with them. The counter-person at Smoothie King took this picture for the kids to have. What are the odds that Parker would be wearing an Astro's shirt?

Going on a Walk....



Here are the girls looking cute and stylish in their stroller. They are on their way to pick up their brother and sister from school. It's important to look fashionable - notice the sunglasses please.

Come Closer!

We can hold out heads up now! We're getting so big!

Look at Me!

Little Miss Catherine has figured out how to hold herself up for a while. She can even rollover now! Stay tuned for more video of this.
Cute and Cuddly!


Elizabeth loves to smile! She also likes to lay back and cuddle.

Cute Baby Video!

Fun at the Park!

Joshua came by to visit this weekend and we all took a stroll to the park down the street. These pictures show just how much fun we had!

Parker and Joshua on the slide....Joshua isn't sure about this one!

Now this looks like fun. Here's Joshua with Noel on the blue tunnel slide. They were having so much fun!

No...the girls didn't just come from a Jazzercize class! They were busy watching all the fun from their stroller.

Wide - Awake!

Here's Miss Elizabeth with a sweet grin on her face. I think the shirt says it all.

Catherine requires a little more effort from you if you want her to smile. She doesn't just give them away for free!

3 MONTHS OLD!


"Psst...Hey Catherine, we're three months old now! Can you believe it?!!"


"Yes! I love being three-months old! I am learning to use my eyelashes to my advantage. I also really enjoy trying to talk to Daddy when he coos to me. What do you like best?"

"Well, having pinchable cheeks is great, and I can't stop smiling at Mommy. I'm also getting really good at holding my head up and I am even sitting up a little bit!"

Parker and Noel!

Yes, we do have four kids! Haven't posted a picture of the big kids in a while. Here they are fresh from taking showers and ready to hop into bed. They're getting big too! Can't forget about our best helpers and the best big brother and sister Elizabeth and Catherine could hope for.

What Did You Say? There's No More Milk?!!"

Say it isn't so! Here's Miss Catherine after she finished her bottle. She seems a little upset that there isn't any more milk for her to drink.

Just Sitting Back


Here's Elizabeth just sittin' back and relaxing after a meal. Life is hard when you're a baby.
