Fragile: handle with care.

Ready for Shipping

As is often the case, the kids played just as much with the box as they did the toys Grandma had recently sent in it. I threatened to ship Hannah back to Grandma in the mail at the time of this photo. She thought that … Read More

Sarah spending some time with big-sister.

Still with Sarah

I’m not sure Hannah has left Sarah’s side since the last photo I posted of her hovering over the poor girl! Deborah took this picture while all of the kids were gathered around Sarah…Hannah just happened to be the closest. She is always the closest.

My beautiful girl looking at Mom.

Her Dark Hair

While Sarah sat up talking to Deborah for a few minutes this evening, I decided to try a closeup. I think the feature that stands out most is that dark hair. She has very dark eyes also. They look blue right now, but are much … Read More

The whole gang just before bed.

See All Four

Just before everyone went to bed, while all were awake and alert, we attempted a shot with the entire quartet. Though Sarah decided she wanted to eat her brother’s arm at some point in the middle, we did manage to get everyone looking “generally” in … Read More
