Bath Time

I took these with my phone so they are a little fuzzy!
But I love how she lined up all her toys trying to entertain Aaron,
and he's only interested in his feet! Ha ha!

Tuesday Playdate

Home Entertainment Systems

Impressionist Artist!
(Notice, not one is making it into her mouth!)

Simple is best, right!
(Insert vacuum and 25,000 beans on kitchen carpet!)

Ahh... the computer. A whole new realm for us.
Someone managed to sign herself up for a free 10 day trial membership to PBS kids.
When I taught her her name and address, I didn't expect her to know how to type it too!

Family Fun Day!

On Saturday, we took Kelsey bowling for the first time!
She LOVED it! She was SO excited that she was shaking!

Showing off her "new boots!"

I love the "It's Heavy" face!

Of course, she went head to head with her buddy Josh.
And she won!! :) She even got a strike!

Watching the ball creeeeeeeep down the lane!

Christmas Cards

I had the perfect pose by the tree all planned out.
I pictured matching outfits.
You were going to think I was just a wonderful mother and wife
and I had it ALL TOGETHER this year.
Well, here's to reality.
Merry Christmas, Love the Byingtons!

Tis the season

Twas the Week before Christmas

potty training the Miss
Not a baby was breathing...
thanks to bronchiolitis
The projects were done at the table with care.

While Kelsey went to Build A Bear to make
"I Love You Baby Aaron" Bear
When out by the mailbox, there arose not a peep

Avery hid little presents while Kelsey was asleep!
When what on my stock chock full planner should appear
But Michael's birthday party at Kid's in Motion. Let's Cheer!

On crackers, on juices, on the potty for treats.
Watching Polar Express 100 times with her rear glued to the seat.
And then after driving to look at Christmas lights AGAIN
It was stockings at Grandma's and Christmas Eve Service, amen!
The tree how it twinkled, the parents were merry.
Watching A Christmas Story, building the doll house, and being excited... VERY!!!
Our four little stockings hung neat in a row,
Last year with three seems like forever ago.
She woke up excited, a jolly little elf.
I laughed when I saw her, inspite of myself.
We spoke barely a word, but went straight to our work.
Of opening presents and laughing at all of her quirks.
She sprang to her presents,
And played with each one!

She fell in love with the doll house,

and has played with it A TON

And then we all exclaimed, with chocolate cake from Wegman's... alright!
Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus! Thanks for coming that night!!

Merry Christmas! God Bless!

Little Snapshots from my Phone

Happy New Year!

Time keeps marching on and my littles keep growing.

Aaron's debut in the walker. What a big boy!

Kelsey got a new vanity from
Poppy and Nona and has started doing her own hair.

And we managed to pull off a movie night with friends
while all the kids slept upstairs...
a major accomplishment in my book!
Hope 2011 is off to as a great a start for you all!

Christmas with Poppy and Nona

Never a dull moment!I can still hear her squeals of delight!
