A Normal Day

Sophie dressed up in a skirt (always) and carrying her purse

Olivia likes to go to sleep in this doll pack-n-play, but she gets mad when she can't get out!

Sophie joins in the fun

Pool Fun

By the end of the week, all three girls were swimming in just their lifejackets and no help from us!

Florida Vacation

The guys gave Kristin and me the morning off on Tuesday. It had been too cold to let the kids swim in the mornings, so they took the kids to a play-place nearby.

Sophie and Will in the rice "sand"box. Will's shirt says "Ladies Man"

Olivia in the ball pit

Ashley in her most favorite outfit - a tutu (It was a little small)

Sophie is the biggest swimmer of our girls - although well supported

Their First Airplane Ride

The girls proudly show their "pack-packs"



Brad shows the girls our airplane out the window

Sophie loves the plane! She likes going up and down. She didn't like walking onto the plane with tons of people staring at her, however.

Evie sat next to some lady on the first flight (across the aisle from me) and she did great! She was so big and brave. On this flight she sat next to her Daddy.

Olivia really wanted to sit on my lap the whole time, but she realized after awhile that she had to have her buckle on when the special light was on.

The girls watch Backyardigans on my laptop. Nobody took a nap on the plane. Nice. However, they were really well behaved and we got lots of compliments. I just smiled, said thank-you, and said a prayer of thanks to God that it went good.


A cool first day in Florida. After swimming in the pool, we warmed up the kids with a bath before nap time
