My lovable Lauren


She is such a happy girl.

LOVE how her hair looks in this picture, and her confused expression!



We had a hard time getting her to just sit....wait until you see the outtakes!

Emma Grace........

Sweet Emma Grace



Can you tell she'd been crying
screaming?



Christmas card picture



This photo captures her well.



Hmmm....so does this one! Have I mentioned she's a Daddy's girl? We call her Daddy's Velcro. He had to go hide in the fishing pier for her to stop screaming so we could get some of the good shots above.

Kaitlyn Elizabeth...........






Here are some more photos of Kaitlyn from our late October photo shoot. I absolutely love her freckles in the close-up shots, and how she still has a dimple on her right cheek--she's had that ever since she was a tiny baby!

Hayride Fun






Well........THIS might be why I still don't feel well! We went to our church on Friday evening for hot dog and s'mores roasting and then on a hayride. LOTS of fun, but VERY cold! Kaitlyn invited her friend Lilly (and her sister Maya and MY friend Lisa) to come as well. The babies were at home with a babysitter and then we dropped Kaitlyn back off at home and Paul and I went out alone. I went to Urgent Care on Saturday, but couldn't take the antibiotics they prescribed because it irritated my tummy. Then I went to my doctor yesterday, STILL no antibiotics as you can't even take any on blood thinners. Jeez! No fun! Happily, Kaitlyn is almost done with her round of antibiotics (from a double ear infection) and seems well, and the babies are healthy and in super-good moods the past few days. And..........it SNOWED here yesterday, so exciting! Kaitlyn was thrilled! I got it on video, but neglected to use my camera. It snowed in the afternoon, then stopped, then started right before Kaitlyn's bedtime. When I told her and asked her if she wanted to go back outside to look at it again, she asked, "Is the snow back on?", like someone in the sky had flipped a switch! :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......





Well, actually, maybe not A LOT. More like a little a smidge. :) No sense in decorating TOO much as four little hands like to tear it all down. You should see the sea of ornaments on our floor, we've given up on putting them back on the tree!
Off to bed for me...sicker than a dog. More on that on my next post......

Emma looking as cute as could be









Lauren, Take 82, this girl would NOT sit in the chair, this was the best I could do. I know, too close. How do those quad moms get FOUR babies to sit, look at the camera, and even smile?!?!?
