photo phrenzy

I just uploaded a ton of photos...and now I'm sharing them with you. We got to watch Maddie while her mom was busy having a baby, and Isaac had such fun with her! They like each other a lot, as you can see (hmm, future matchmaking in order?). They even napped in the same room together (separate cribs, of course. propiety, please).

Claire LOVES to eat, and makes loud grunting, guttural noises while imbibing her victuals. It's funny and scary all at the same time.

We went to the park with Bethany and Hazel while the guys went fishing last week. Isaac liked to swing of course,

but Claire was even more excited!

She settled down eventually,

and beamed the rest of the time she was in her seat.

Serious Hazel even smiled! Note Bethany and her little bump in the background :)

I tried to teach Isaac how to blow dandelion seeds in the wind,

and he tried, but couldn't get much velocity, and ended up inhaling some of the seedheads. We had fun trying, though!

Isaac really wanted to swing on the big swings, and I guess I've been in denial about how old he's getting. He hopped on, and was plenty big enough to handle it. He loved it. I cannot believe he's going to be 3 in January...

Up next...the Fall Festival and pirate costume pictures!
