Four in a row

Little Mi-Mi

Miriam has become quite disenchanted with bedtime, the other night she asked me, "Why do I have to lay on an old mattress covered in a cloth until I fall asleep?!"

This photo of her sleeping was taken just moments after she gave in to her tiredness. :) Sweet dreams!

Little 'Liza-Jane

Jacob loses his first tooth...

It's Autumn Time!!!

The wise man glued his house upon the rock...

Last night as she fell asleep Hazel was singing quite the chorus...

"The wise man glued his house upon the rock,  the wise man glued his house upon the rock...the rains came down and smashed it and crashed it and the little sticks floated away..."

All while doing the cute hand motions...

Too cute

Ketchip, Mim, and Zazzle

Ketchip is Jacob, Mim is Miriam, and Zazzle is of course Hazel :) These are the new nick-names that little Eliza-Jane has given the kids. It is sooooo cute.

I am really writing this post just in case I forget someday

-We had 4 stinky diapers in just 3 hours today

-Little Janie screams if I walk by the stairs and don't let her go up and down (this happens about 15 times a day), not just wimpers, but throws herself on the ground and is inconsolable for at least 2 minutes. She points to the stairs and cries, "DUTS! DUTS!!"

-She screams if she sees the door open and she doesn't get go out, and when she does go out she runs for the dirt by the thorny roses and tries to eat anything she can get into her mouth before I stop her :)

-Darling little Janie still wakes up 4-6 times a night :( that is why all my posts are so late:)

-Everyone always seems to get hungry at the same time, but all they ever really want is grilled cheese.

-Hazel only wants to wear purple clothing, eat from a purple bowl and only use a purple toothbrush

-Miriam is terrified of flushing the toilet.

-The phone always wakes up the baby

-Life is good
