These kitties have found their place in our family very quickly.
We love them oodles and they are SO good to our girls.
Look how patient they are!

Cuddling in Becca's chair.


No, they didn't get in there themselves.
But as you can see, they didn't try to leave either...


Izzy found this perch on her own.
I guess she needed a hiding spot and figured this was a good one.


Esther put Izzy in the dolly stroller.
It looks like she might be really mad but she isn't.
She's YAWNING.


This always makes me laugh.
Sometimes Izzy slips under a blanket on her own
and then Autumn arranges a pillow for her.
Other times Autumn puts her there.
She just loves to be comfy.


It has begun!
Any girl who grew up with kitties knows
that you have to dress them
in doll clothes at least once or twice.
Autumn claims that Izzy likes it. :)


A new "do" for Heidi to keep her growing bangs out of her face.
Not only does it keep her bangs out of her face,
but when she's tempted to play with her hair
she plays with the ponytail
instead of twirling the top of her hair into KNOTS.
Works for me!


Ummm...yeah. She's done it again. And this time she only did half and then asked Autumn to help her. So did Autumn say, "No Esther. Let's go show Mom. You know you're not supposed to do that."? Of course not! That's right. Being the loving sister she is, she tried to FIX Esther's hair because it looked funny.

I'm so glad hair grows back.


She fell asleep at the table!


A cutie in Sunday dress. I mourn the latest hair loss looking at this picture.


I love this baby of mine. And I can't get enough of her in this outfit!

Autumn, Heidi and I made these salads as part of our lunch today.
We got these from a Betty Crocker cookbook for kids. I love kid's cookbooks!

Heidi. Being Heidi.

The girls asked me to put up hammocks again (we hang sheets to the bottom of the top bunk since it has metal slats all the way along it) but I was a little too slow for them.
Heidi decided to make a hammock on her own.

They started with only two chairs but for some reason decided they needed three.

Autumn & Heidi love dressing Esther.
They think of her as one of their toys.
Fortunately for them, Esther enjoys it (most days).



Look at that smile.

She kept walking around holding the jacket at the collar.

I know, I know - it's taken me forever to get these up here. I took these with Eric's amazing camera, however I am not so amazing with it. It took me a few pictures in to realize it needed to be on auto-focus since I had no clue what I was doing. So Heidi's picture is blurred and we never did get a clearer one of her. She is always on the move.

Autumn as a Japanese dancer (she got this at Grandma's this summer)

Okay, I really miss the snow and the fall colors.
But the girls don't seem to mind a bit. Today Autumn said,
"Mom, I love Florida because it never snows! Did you know that Mom? It never snows!"

Big sister helping out

I can't believe how much Esther can do now!

Look at her!

Crazy loon. Yep, she's mine.

This is what I got when I asked Heidi to show me the acorn. Too busy for the camera.

These girls are very into "collecting" and acorns are it right now.
