Remembering labor, part two
Well, I am still here, waiting impatiently for George to make his appearance. We made it to December which some of the kids were concerned about. After all, it is a much bigger deal to say we have 4 December babies than 3 December and one November! This week has been full of anticipation. George

The best book in the whole world!!!
Princess Belle is a hopeless romantic. She claps for joy and bounces up and down during romantic movies and happy endings. She also loves to read. The other night she came rushing down from her bedroom, long past bedtime. In her hand she held the book The Cottage at Bantry Bay . With gleaming eyes

Smart toddlers know
When all else fails, call for Daddy! Last night, when all our little blessings were tucked in bed, Court and I settled down to watch a movie in bed. Sweet Em, who shares a room with Princess Grace, was still stirring. We could hear her through the monitor, but left her so she could fall

We love Fall!
This week it finally turned cooler, with the exception of today. The nights are getting cold and the mornings are wonderful. We have windows open and are spending lots of time outside riding bikes and scooters. Sweet Em especially loves being outside. Every time she hears the front door open she makes a run for

Baby Girl!
Lest my previous post about Sir Charles’ best friend leave the impression that the rest of us are unaffected by Sweet Em, I thought I would touch on the relationship between Sir Charles and Sweet Em. Charlie’s not around much. He is sixteen, a junior in high school, and busy with things like baseball, weight-lifting,

Through different eyes
At least once a week, I drive Sir Charles and his best friend to baseball. Of course, the van is full with the rest of the crew as well. Best friend gets the privilege of sitting next to Sweet Em. He is one of two children and his younger sister is only a year younger.

Did you notice…
That I finally figured out how to get a picture inserted into my post?! Actually, I hadn’t been doing anything wrong, it was just my ancient computer that couldn’t get the job done. Today, I am borrowing Court’s elderly, as opposed to ancient, laptop and the picture finally uploaded! Yeah! So, while I am on
