First-time home buyers!

 Alice wanted Fred McFee to be more girly.

 Dinner we made one night.

 Paul's watercolor date with Grace.

 Toby hanging out with his new brother.

 Grace dressed him up as herself!

 Danny wanted to try the wig on too.

 I came out of the bathroom one morning to see this in my bed!

 I LOVE baby feet!!!

 I also really like snails.

 And dirty little boy hands holding snails.

 Alice has been cooking up leaf/grass/mud mixtures all week, which Snaily appreciated.

 Paul and Danny throwing a football while Alice and Charlie made a mud castle. We've had some pretty magical evenings in the backyard this week.

 Grace took this on the flip phone.

 "It's taking forever for him to finish this bottle!"

 Flobo. (Not sure why we call him that, but we do.)

 Me and Alice's date making banana bread after painting our nails.

 Paul took the Dillons to the airport at 4 am.

 Good ol' Danny Grape Eyes.

 I did this one. It's like we have an Elf on the Shelf, but we all share the job and actually enjoy doing it.

 Paul's turn.

 Critter tracks in our yard.

 King Charlie. Ladder + baby carseat + umbrella shade + popsicle = his throne. He made a table/sled throne for Danny.

 Danny's preschool class.

 Waiting for my chest x-ray.

 Skeleton theme by Alice.

Preschool and a skeleton

 Our cute Grace.

 Danny was sick with the throw-ups this week:(

 First day of preschool!

 Our tradition is to take them out to lunch after their first day of preschool. Yes, this hot dog got puked up on the way home.

 Proud of his artwork.

 He's trying to get Toby to face the camera.

 Skinny neck!

 Little Tobe.

 Charlie decided to make a paper WALL-E.

 Yawny baby.

 Dead bird on Grace's way to school.

 Charlie in the skeleton box.

 Fred McFee in the tub. (Our kids voted on that name, from the book "The Bones of Fred McFee".)

 Reading to me on the swing outside.

 Alice giving her friend a thumbs-up for 3 years since being diagnosed with diabetes.

 We love posing Fred McFee.

 Baby thighs!

 Baby Fred.

 He's getting good at sitting up on his own.

 Baby's first banana. He didn't love it.

 "This job is killing me."

 Danny only naps when he's really sick.

 Another proud drawing moment.

 He titled this "Difficult Death".

 Making pepperoni rolls.

Poor sick Paul took a bunch of time off work this week.
