These are a few of my favorite things...

By now I'm sure you know how much I love taking pictures of my kids sleeping...here are a few recent ones.

 

  

I love that Dawson helps me unload the dishwasher.

Brady still LOVES puzzles!

 

The girls had a camp out in their room a few nights ago...they invited me to come roast marshmallows with them over their campfire! (The fire is the pile of sticks and cut-up construction paper on the floor.)

This is one of my favorite videos ever.  Dawson is in this adorable stage where he thinks he's talking, and no one can understand him...but pretending like you do keeps the conversation going.

first day of 1st grade

Annalee was really excited for school this year! That isn't surprising, but what made today a little different than her first day of Kindergarten was that she didn't seem nervous at all.  She was more confident getting ready this morning, and when she got to school, she walked right in, said "hi" to her teacher and friends, and sat right down and started working on the worksheet at her desk.  Such a good student!
