Siding is up!

the metal sliding is finished and everything is water tight!
the roof is done and we can concentrate on the inside!

soft blocks to climb!

These great foam blocks are perfect to climb on and practice standing on...Noni made three and they are a huge hit for all the kids, even the big ones use them for fort building, of course!

Happy 1st Birthday Ruby & Penelope!

Penelope (l) is such a goofy lady. She smiles with a funny crooked smile, and likes to crinkle up her nose. She is quite the independant crawler, always exploring far from mama. "Nell-O-P" is cruising around holding on to all the furniture and loves it if mama, papa, or big brother will hold her hands so she can walk. She will really let you know if you are not giving her something- or if a sister is trying to get away with a toy.

Ruby is a mama's girl- prefering to stay close and be held in the ergo backpack a lot! She is a cuddler, and tucks her head towards your body when giving hugs & kisses. Sucking her fingers makes her feel better when she's sad. "Ru Ru" is a very fast crawler and prefers that mode more than "walking" still.
