Rolling Right Along

This is such an appropriate title, not only because life has been rolling right along since my last post, but also because Miss Maedi is quite good at rolling along to where she needs to be: like today during Mikko's naptime when she rolled out of my room, where I was putting away laundry, almost intentionally toward her brother's room "announcing" her arrival. Usually I am telling the boys to be quite since she is sleeping. Today, however, she began to get her revenge. Luckily, Mikko kept sleeping and she went down for her nap right before Leif got home from school. I so treasure my quiet time with my Leif'r. He didn't stick around long though. This nice weather meant lots of kids were outside. Being the social man he is, he was off!

 





Leif and his friend giving me their best scary faces! And, above,

Mikko.  What you don't know is that he is chanting "Hockey!

Hockey! Hockey!"









Of course, we have had Halloween.  Leif went as a

Storm Trooper (Star Wars), which meant that Mikko

also went as a Storm Trooper.  As you can see, they

scored a lot of candy.

True Love!



Out for an October Stroll.  I LOVE fall!

Three Sunny Ones

Growing up I sometimes wondered if my parents ever "loved" my brother more than me.  I know now as a mom of three that you love your children more than words can explain.  That feeling upon their arrival in the world that you could never, ever, ever love anyone else any more.  Then, when I have had another child I realized that while I could never love one child more than another I can love them as much and they have each endeared themselves to me in different ways.  So, for the next three posts I am going to dedicate it to one child each.  I think this will encourage me to (1) make sure my camera battery is charged; and (2) try to get some great pictures that represent the distinctive personalities of my babies. 


I choose the newest Sunny One to do first, only because I am in LOVE with this picture.  Might I also add that she is a very happy baby ~ so smiley and already inquisitive.  She finds her brothers to be quite amusing and entertaining.  And they, in turn, adore her and literally smother her with love.  We are so thankful for our little girl!



Isn't she sweet?
