A whole lot of pictures


We've taken a lot of cute pictures here during the last few days. Here they are, starting with Abigail, who went for her 4-month checkup today. She weights 14 pounds and 4 1/2 ounces and is in the 66th percentile for weight and 99th percentile for height. This girl knows how to outgrow her clothes!


Megan got some plastic Disney princess rings from Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Bill, and she wore them all at once.


She also got stick-on earrings from Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Bill, although they're hard to see in this picture. 


Little sister. Big sister.


Fake tattoo from Sunday school!


I love little cardigan sweaters. Even better if a cute baby is wearing a sweater. 


Sister love!



Megan all dressed for church, in slightly long, droopy tights. She insisted she did not want to wear this denim jumper because it wasn't like her other swishy, lighter-weight dresses. We thought she looked really cute, though.





Megan was smiling nicely. Then Abigail poked her in the eye.


And pulled her hair!






Sorry for the sideways pictures. (They are right-side-up on my computer, I promise.) 






Megan took this photo. She told me, "Oops. I didn't get your eyes, mommy."

Sister hugs


Megan loves holding Abigail for pictures. Guess I had only gotten one kiddo dressed for the day when this one was taken!


Just us girls!


Drinking hot chocolate from a Star Wars mug, with a twisty straw. It doesn't get much better.


This picture just amuses me. Our cat, Hildegard, has claimed that particular arm rest on the couch as her spot. Usually she sits looking out into the living room, but occasionally she faces the wall. I'm not quite sure what advantage that view has, but then there are a lot of things I don't understand about my cat.

One year ago today

One year ago today, I learned we were expecting Abigail Grace. It took us a few months to get pregnant the second time around, after getting pregnant with Megan without even trying, so the day we found out Abigail was on the way was a very good day indeed.

Valentine's Day ... like Halloween all over again


Between preschool and Sunday school, Megan got no fewer than a gazillion packages of Fun Dip for Valentine's Day this year, along with all sorts of other treats that rot teeth. Here she is enjoying some sugar on a stick. When I was in grade school, we mostly exchanged plain old cards, and perhaps we ate cupcakes. Now, every single kid in the class seems to bring candy to exchange. Maybe next year I'll send Megan with toothbrushes to give out.

Keeping up ...


Just trying to keep up with all the photos. Here are our beautiful girls!










Megan on her fourth birthday!


Little Mermaid birthday cake.


On her way to preschool with her new backpack, a birthday gift.


Megan decorated Abby with a sticker!
