Comings and Goings

Give your best Oriental-sounding HUH-doe, and you will know how Choobs answers the phone.  Actually, this is what she calls the phone.

Madeline lines up the little people to get "washed."

We got Raleigh a Field Day shirt to help her feel included at her new school, and it ended up getting rained out.  Instead, a group of Marines came and supervised them bouncing around the gym on blow-up toys.

Raleigh showing off her early birthday present from Grammy ballet-style.

Grammy made the skirt and sent the shirt to match.  It matches perfectly with her new brown "mango shoes," as Raleigh likes to call flats.  Anyone remember Raleigh's "tabernacle shoes"?

Ah, truffles.  Kensington tries her first one.  

Raleigh sucks on hers to make it last.

MMmmm.

Miss Middle gets a little wound up.

Don't YOU love being held like a baby while you hold your baby?

Choobs does.

Raleigh's lego throne.

Flossing on the throne.

Madeline and Choobers get a little crazy.

Raleigh and Madeline working on their sticker books.  Madeline decided she didn't want her picture taken.

This is one of Kensington's favorite possessions right now.  She call's this book "Abby."  We have to read it before she goes to bed every night.  She turns to the last page and points at all the words she knows, which are: ball, fish, knock-knock (that's a door), book, cookie (for Cookie Monster), and Melmo (for Elmo).  Speaking of Elmo, she calls her diapers "Melmo" because they have a picture of Elmo on the front and back.  When she wants me to change her, she will come up to me and say, "Melmo."  Time for potty training, maybe?  Maybe not.

Raleigh and Naiya.  I brought cupcakes into school for Raleigh's birthday before school gets out because she has a summer birthday.  Naiya is a cutie!

Raleigh enjoys showing off her baby sister to her school friends.

It was "hat day" at school when we came.

This is how Kensington was "ready for church" yesterday.  She wore these glasses down the hall, down the elevator, and out to the car like this.  And her bloomies were really hanging there!  She's a petite little thing.
