Hard Letting Go

The beginning of preschool meant the end of our nanny-share. We were so sad to say "goodbye" to Claudia who has been a part of our family for the past year. We know that she'll be in our lives for a long time, but we'll miss our day-to-day visits. Oscar will continue on with Adeline at the same preschool - hooray!

Hot Potato

No, you're not looking at an infant CPR mannequin, it's Cooper during a heat-wave we had today. This is literally the only Summer outfit he owns (or needs for that matter).

Monkey Business

Adeline "monkeying around" with buds Frankie & Roy. Frankie was visiting from Minneapolis with mom, Jan. Looking forward to seeing them again in MN this Christmas.
I wish I could say this was a spontaneous shot... took a lot of convincing to get these two to cuddle up. Ah, worth the nagging.

Gramma Visit

The kids had a blast with Gramma Pam when she came to visit recently. Adeline sneaks a lick of batter during the cookie baking.
Cooper got lots of good snuggle time with Gramma too!

Here Come the Cousins!

First up, we got a short yet sweet visit with Nayana & Ella. They were excellent baby holders and Adeline was beside herself playing with the "big girls".

The next weekend Kaili came for a visit. She was also very confident in handling the newbie. Adeline wanted to make sure she knew what she was doing so she demonstrated the technique with her own baby doll.
