My 11,000 words

I haven't been a faithful blogger lately so these recent pictures of the kids and the family are my attempt at making up for the missing words. :) Hopefully a picture really is worth 1,000 words!

We've been really busy lately with moving activities, our co-op preschool, a music class we're helping to start, playgroup, doctor appointments, ballet, etc. It's all really fun and we are exhausted each day. Here's a photo recap of what a week looks like at our house.

Abby does ballet for 45 minutes each Wednesday morning. She kinda likes it :) :

Abby dresses and undresses her babies, has tea parties, puts them to bed, sings to them, and has a great time with them. She sat me down yesterday and informed me that she knows the dolls aren't real, but she likes to imagine that they are real. It was a very important conversation and she was very serious as she talked to me about imaginary versus real.

Since we moved, Sam has been an awesome napper. He sleeps nearly 3 hours each afternoon. It's been a huge blessing! When he gets up, he's affectionate and wants to cuddle. Roy was quite happy to be the recipient of all that lovin'.

How could I not share this sweet picture of my boy?

I adore the relationship that Abby and Sam have. They are each other's best friends and biggest supporters. They sit in their beds and talk and laugh. When one gets hurt, the other races to their side, usually beating me to a hug, kiss, and pat. This picture shows just how close and comfortable they are together.

We went to the Trademark Expo at the Patent Office this weekend and got all sorts of fun little treasures. Besides getting free samples of Hershey's chocolate, seeing the He-Man statue, and getting a stress-relief frisbee, the kids also got to sit in a Caterpillar. They LOVED it!
