A Fall Splattering of Pictures

 Avery has a definite style.  It's called pink and purple.  With a little "if one flower is good, more flowers are even better" splashed in there.

 Henry's style is more minimalistic.  He's confident in his near-nudeness as he should be.  He looks good!

 My friend Julie has a swing in her house.  I just had to document that.  Raddest mom ever.

 Here's Henry at 7 months.  I love that face!!

Another picture of Avery's get-up.  The days that I am allowed input in her attire is less and less these days.  Leotards are the new jeans and a t-shirt in her book.

 Let the world know that Avery let somebody wash, cut, BRUSH, and style her hair without it being a battle.  I had to document it on my phone camera.  Afterwards, she asked me, "Is my hair long like Rapunzel's now?"

Tater-Nater the Kindergartener

Have I mentioned that Tate tells me "I love you" each morning from his kindergarten line in sign language?  It's super sweet.  He just started it and must have remembered it from a book we used to read when he was younger.

He also picked up the phrase "sweet dreams" this week and started telling me that as he goes to bed each night.

Tate is growing up and so very sweet.  Don't get me wrong, he is a rambunctious 6 year old boy, but he is at such a innocent and fun age.  Here is in line with his Superman pack and green pants.  The next photo is to commemorate the awesome toy gifted him by Aunt Jenn for his sixth birthday.  It was loved for 2 weeks and then fell to a tragic and kind of cool messy and loud tragic death on our kitchen floor.  And finally, a shot of Tate with the Hawthorne Bear.  Love this boy!

Fall and Babies

I love Ember's expression.  It says, "Get this big guy away from me!"

Ember found her smile when Avery was entertaining her.  Very sweet.  Avery can be quite rough with Henry, so we always guard him.  But she is so gentle with little Emmy.

I intended to pick a few perfect pictures, but I couldn't narrow it down!
