Sleeping Sisters

This one is a favorite.

Berry Art Parfait

 Nate was pretty excited about his blueberry balancing on his blackberry for breakfast one morning. He loves to make art out of anything.

 Sleeping, snuggling babies.

 Audrey had some pretty great bed head!

Anna and Audrey are into giving lots of kisses these days! Usually it's a wide open mouth kiss. They always make an "ahhhhhhh" sound as they kiss someone. It's pretty funny when they go to kiss each other while both making the "ahhhhhhh" sound.

Outside

Anna and Audrey LOVE being outside. Any time the door opens, they want to go outside. One time Ash went to take a picture of a tree blossoming outside. She closed the door behind her and Anna burst into sobbing tears! We all thought she was hurt...but really, she just wanted to go outside. 

 I'm no fan of animals, and all my kids know it. In fact, when I ask them what they want in their future spouse, usually the first thing is "I want him/her to love animals!" Well, Anna and Audrey love animals as much as their older siblings. They are sooooo happy watching the chickens. One day I took them out to the chicken coop to watch the chickens but this time they didn't want to just watch, they wanted to touch them. I wasn't brave enough to catch a chicken on my own so I called Sadie over. I tried to be brave and hold that nice hen (Lacy is the nicest, calmest of the hens). They were so, so, so happy petting Lacy. It was cute to see how mesmerized they were being so close to a chicken.

 Anna and Audrey can see the chickens from their bedroom window. They love to say hi to the chickens before and after they get changed. They wave and watch and blow kisses.

 Sadie is much smoother holding a chicken and a baby. She knows what she's doing!

 Sadie got the sidewalk chalk out for Anna and Audrey. They had so much fun drawing and playing outside.

The kids love driving the long driveway. They are getting pretty good at it! Good thing, because Ash will really be behind the wheel before too long.

This, that and the other

That title was for you, Dave. :)

 Anna trying on a hat. I have no idea where we were!

 These two have so much fun together in their crib. I'm so happy they still share a crib and I can't imagine them ever not sleeping together!

 Nate helping Dave shovel the driveway (this was a while ago...lately we've been getting a lot of rain instead of snow!)

 You could almost draw a perfect line of symmetry here!

 Nate wanted to make Dave's lunch so he raced around getting it ready before Dave could see. He even stuck in a cute note and a treat to surprise him!

 Audrey and Anna.

 It was fun to watch the icicles grow closer and closer together until one day they finally touched!!

 Audrey snuggling up to watch Nate work on his spelling.

 Audrey helping Nate with his spelling. :)

 This is how they do peek-a-boo.

 Nate was really concerned that Smaug didn't have a blanket to keep him warm, so he made him one.

 This was a new position!

 Nate was pretty excited to take apart our old computer.

 Then he put some legos in to make it look like a movie.

 I can picture Sadie as a mom in a few (or more) years. She handles two very well.
