Tagged

OK, I know I haven't looked at my blog in a while. I just realized that Jaime
tagged me almost a month ago. Since is it a little late, I will just do the best I can with it. Here we go:

1. I love to play dress-up with the kids. And we are going to 2 halloween parties this weekend where I am "forced" to dress-up!

2. I really think many of the rules are really just guidelines to be considered.

3. The only reason I went to Ball State is because Harry went there. I denied it for many years but it's true.

4. I have loved reading Sci Fi books since reading the Lord of the Rings series in middle school.

5. I participated in my first Olympic distance triathlon this summer.

6. I did not swim, bike, or run until a year and a half ago. So ANYONE can do it!

7. I hate mopping my floors. Just hate it so it doesn't get done until our socks are sticking too much.

I'm not tagging anyone else because, well, see fact #2 above.

Assume the position

Here are my kids in their favorite positions around the house.

Tristan is now reading all the time: in bed, at the table, and any other "comfortable" place he can find! And I totally get it as I am an avid reader, myself.

Alex is our craft boy and spends many hours with markers, glues and scissors. We often find him perched on the bar with his latest creation. Where normal people see trash, Alex sees art. I have to quietly throw away many of his possible supplies consisting of used straws, milk jug rings, and many of the items he collects from our house.

Lily is still our princess/dancer/gymnast/ballerina. Every day she can be seen in different poses.

Lyra is seen here in her favorite position: Lily watching. She keeps a very close eye on what her favorite subject is doing and mimics as closely as possible.

Sisters!

As you can see in the following pictures, these two girls love each other very much! Enjoy.

Baby Claire!

My sister had her second baby last Wednesday, October 1st. Baby Claire entered this world at 5pm as the sweetest little girl! I'll post pictures when I find my camera.
