Consign or not to Consign?

Julia wondering what I'm going to do with all the boxes of clothing in the living room.



She decides to recruit Carson to help her ponder through the boxes while Mommy's not looking.

She convinces Carson that he's a good Elmo.




Carson looks like he could participate a little more with this venture through the boxes. He must have changed PJ's ten times. Of course, they were all two sizes too small.

Pretty Pretty Princess

I think Carson got into the game of Pretty Pretty Princess a little bit more than Julia. He asked for me to take his picture all dolled up. I asked him if he was sure about that. I tried to explain to him that he would grow up one day and these may not be as cute to him but he just smiled and said cheese.

One more day and they start their "school". I know I need to break but I think I'm going to miss them after being alone a couple of hours or maybe not.

School Days are Back Again!

Group photo - Olivia and Matthew are entering the 8th grade, Chase entered the 5th grade (first year at the middle school), Stewart jumped on into the 2nd grade & Carson and Julia officially start a Mother's Day Out program next week. Boy does time fly by.


The fiesty four posing for their annual first day of school photo.


It's official... Matthew is a little taller than Olivia now! It has taken several years of first day of school pictures to get to this point but he did it.
