Before we departed for Watertown, the kids became very attached to a big-wheel that belonged to the neighbors. They had been nice enough to share, and as you can see, Elisabeth loved it. This picture reminds me to keep an eye out at the local yard sales.

Stephen needs a haircut. We have been putting it off for a while and now it has become clear that this boy has the curliest hair in the family. We’re getting pictures now, because the curls will be coming off soon at the barber shop.

Sarah is a very happy girl. Here she is displaying a personality that is as bright as her clothes. If you smile, she smiles back and may give you a giggle; always with a twinkle in her eye. What a wonderful baby girl!

Hannah remains as close to Sarah as possible at all times. Here we suggested a picture with the two special sisters. At that point Hannah plastered a cheesy grin on her face that was impossible to remove with mere words. It turned out cute anyway.

The other day Elisabeth insisted I take a picture while she held her baby. The doll was dressed in three layers of clothing, including a real diaper, doll clothes and a vest that came down to her feet. As you can tell, this made Elisabeth very happy!

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 was a great idea and seemed, just for a moment, to think I was serious.

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.
