This week

 James and Lucy were at camp, and we had friends here.

At the mall

They did some plays

Our asphalt was repaired and it was extremely fun

Future surgeon

Helen had an EKG and she didn’t mind at all

Max was busy

Joining the rosary

Tessa and Edmund were at the river 

Babies

Isi wanted me to show her how to sit with her baby Blueberry on her leg with Helen and me.

Goat

Our friends got goats and Nora fed the baby

Phone time

Listen, if you're a baby with teenage brothers weird stuff is going to happen to you. Like them trying to make your face unlock their phone.

Sister smiles

This is the first time I've gotten pictures of smiles while a sibling holds her - she's camera shy

Swaddle

I got a new swaddle for the escape artist and so far I think she's sleeping better, plus being cute.

Cat interference

 

Smiles

 We finally captured some Helen smiles.

Silly

Bernadette wanted me to take a picture of her and I love it because she frequently has this mischievous look. This is a child who will be climbing on the table during meals. In a restaurant.

Sisters

These two had a blast today, being silly and also stuffing a step stool full of toilet paper

Chef

 She’s got a dinosaur costume and beautician apron and she brought me money so I can pay for her cooking

Dresses

 A friend gave us matching lilac dresses

Helen’s is still too big so we’ll have to do it again!

Caverns

 We went to Lewis and Clark caverns on a field trip!

Blurry baby’s first cave

She wasn’t always mad

Lucy’s bucket list trip
