Criminal Mastermind?

After reading this story, I began to wonder if maybe Grace will end up being a criminal mastermind after all.

New Scissors

Some people call it "making a party," some people call it "making a mess". The girls are really into shredding paper into little pieces of paper, and these new sharp scissors really do the trick. They absolutely love the confetti look!

Chicago Friends

We're so lucky to get to hang with our friends from Chicago lately. Colin and Jeanne have been down here (well, they live in Santa Barbara now, but we started being friends with them when we lived in Chicago) with their son Warren and their hopefully soon to be adopted baby Maddie who has been at the Children's hospital lately undergoing some pretty major surgery. This is a picture of Warren playing with the girls. They had an awesome time at the park and playing in general. It's so fun to hang out with them again- even under their stressful circumstances!

An Obligatory Belly Shot

For those of you wondering, this is what my belly looked like last week. I feel big, but not as big as the people on the street see me. I can't believe that the big day is so close. We're getting pretty excited (and tired already!)

Playing Favorites

Here's a picture of the girls with my brother Dennis. He visited last week and the girls had an awesome time. He's just their brand of funny, and they always love to play with him. I think he likes them too :)

Fancy Pants

My mom made these great dresses for the girls for my sister's wedding in August. They've refused to wear them until recently, but now that the girls are in princess mode, these dresses are suddenly in vogue.

Church Friends

Most of the kids the girls' age at church are girls. Here are a few of them. Aren't they pretty?
