Days 90 through 99
Day 90, March 31
Caleb packed his play shaving kit with socks, a hammer, a red Teddy bear, and more socks. These were the essentials he needed to take to the park.
(No idea what the weird waves on the pic are about, but they are interesting.)
Day 91, April 1
Both asleep. On me. So precious I want to save it forever. This hasn't happened in 3 months.
Day 92, April 2
Ready to ride. Hands full of carrots, sunglasses upside down.
Day 93, April 3
My friend Amanda made us this carrot cake.
Here's Joshua, with frosting on his nose from an initial investigation, protesting my request to take a picture of the cake before we eat it.
Day 94, April 4
Easter Sunday. Getting 6 people to look at the camera is hard. Getting them to smile (and at the same time) is probably impossible just yet.
BIG thanks to Claire Teeter for coming over Easter morning to shoot this!
Day 95, April 5
Pop-pop and the twins trying to sit up.
Day 96, April 6
Babies' first food: Avocado.
Here's Evelyn's first bite. She looks a little tentative and that toehead in the corner is Joshua trying to help.
I waited until my parents were visiting to give them their first food, so Mom could see it. (And shoot it! Thanks Mom!)
She seemed to like it for the most part. She swallowed some and smiled most of the time.
But she let us know when she was done.
Gideon was not so sure about the mashed, creamy avocado.
It looks like he's wincing but it couldn't have been that bad. I mean, creamy avocado? Pretty bland, but he didn't like it to well at all this first day.
He also let me know when he was done- by refusing to part those lips.
Day 97, April 7
I set up the soccer goals to play a little in the yard. But the boys ended up pretending like they were sleeping on rocks (the soccer balls) in a cave (the net). Oh well.
Day 98, April 8
I took this shot to take a poll about whether or not that name is off-center. Now that I've hung it on the wall, I know it is way off-center and it bothers me a lot. Only took me 7 months to finally paint the name in the oval, how long will it take me to repaint it?
Day 99, April 9
Dark, grainy photo, I know. But there we all were on the doorstep to our hotel rooms, two toddlers doing the potty dance and two overtired babies, about 2 hours after their normal bedtime, and Kevin realizes he left the key somewhere. So it's just me and all of these needy children. Sometimes I stand on the brink of crazy and hope I don't fall in. Thankfully, Kevin came back before the toddlers had an accident and before the babies had a meltdown. We were at a lakeside resort for a marriage retreat sponsored by Kevin's unit. They gave us two hotel rooms and we actually managed to put all 4 kids in one room and have a room to ourselves. Pure luxury!
