At the beach with the C's

The house was really ideal even for this many children. We wore the kids out enough during the day that they were able to sleep all in one room (except the two babies.) Great memories for all of us!

My little man

I took these pictures just because they are so cute and to remind myself of what he looks like when he is not in motion!

Blueberry picking

We went blueberry picking with Mom B and came home with over 15lbs! We are having mufins, pie and coffee cake galore! It will be wonderful to pull these out in the middle of the winter for a taste of summertime. Feel free to share any especially good recipes. I would love some new ones!

Elysa'a visit

Elysa introduced my children to the wonderful world of playing video games upside-down. They consider her extreemly talented! Obviously the kids enjoyed her immensly as did Josh and I. It was especially nice to see the McL again. Thanks so much for the visit, Elysa!

Camp in MN

I meant to take a million pictures while we were in MN but had so much fun I hardly took any. Obviously my kids had nearly as much fun as I did. Thank you to all of you who made such an effort to make our week enjoyable. Highlights of my week were spending time with each of you and seeing my kids enjoy yours so much!

My Flower Child

Zofia's Room

Zofia's room is really tiny so it was not hard to do something like this in here. I even painted the ceiling- a first for me. I know I need a lamp shade, but otherwise I do like how it turned out. I used the left over paint from the girl's room in MN so it cost me nothing. The rug and wicker toy chest are yard sale/thrift store finds. Just one more reason to go shopping!
