Punky Strikes Again...

Punky Brewster struck again, this time both kids dressed themselves-

\

Please note that Noah is wearing rainboots, a dressy shirt, and his Halloween PJ bottoms... so stylish!

Helper?

These are the results of Noah "helping" me unload the silverware from the dishwasher-

Cute Little Ladies

Here is Annalise holding her new friend Emmaline-

Annalise thought the trip to the hospital was SO fun. She was so excited to see her tiny hands and feet. Hopefully this is the first of many pictures of these little ladies together.

Best Dog Ever

Freda is one of the sweetest dogs ever. She gets lots of "love" from the kids many times a day and is always patient. She even initiates playing with them by stealing Annalise's lovey and Noah's special blanket called "hat." Here she is getting a through medical exam from the kids.

Sweet Noey

Noah is becoming a very social dude lately. He talks to every person who passes us in the store, usually saying "Hiiiiiiii" or asking for "High five." He even tells random strangers "Bess you" if they sneeze. Most of his thoughts come out in complete sentences these days. He is still my sweet and snuggly guy. Some other things that Noah has been saying lately that I want to remember are-

• Noah calls Annalise "Sissy." Jon and I have never called her that, he came up with the name all on his own. It is so sweet.
• Anytime you ask him if he wants something or wants to do something he says "I DO!!!!!!!!!!!" with great enthusiasm.
• "Pilled it" for spilled it.
• The word "dinosaur" is always followed by a very throaty "ROAR!"
• When I go in his room in the mornings he sits up in bed and says, "Frefast (breakfast), poppy (poptart)?"
• "Wagar" is water.
• "Bubble bat" for bubble bath.
• "Ca-pill-per" for The Very Hungry Caterpillar
• "Boon Boon" is a balloon.
• When we pull up to his school he starts saying "Elliot" (think like ET) for his favorite buddy in his class and "Miss Tish" for his teacher over and over.
• And, he still calls his special blanket "hat" :)

Punky Brewster

Annalise has been choosing her own clothes lately. She ends up look like Punky Brewster with many colors and many layers. She is such a sweet, little lady! Another popular outfit of choice (which is sadly not pictured) is any sundress over a long or short sleeve shirt, with leggings or tights, and a skirt, all at once...

Annalise has also been interested in curly hair lately. Here is our unsuccessful but cute, attempt.

And for the latest (and cleanest) in hat fashion-

Chapstick

I love chapstick. Apparently Noah does too, especially on his cheeks and under his nose.

Visit with Friends!

Ryan, Brandi, and Lincoln came to visit. Sadly, this is the only documentation of our fun weekend-

Lazy Sunday...
