Been a while since I've posted - and I honestly have no idea where the time has gone!
The kiddos have been growing like weeds and running in 3 different directions. They have also added a new skill to their list - that of CLIMBING - climbing on couches, climbing on boxes, climbing on dad, turning drawers over to climb on those as well! Not sure how effective it is for me to take a photo, THEN correct the situation, but sometimes, I just can't pass it up!
We have several different cameras floating around the house (that will be no surprise to friends who know me well). These are just a few pics off ONE camera we keep handy --- enjoy.

The girls playing with their "amals" - a word they have both mastered! They carry them to corners and room, categorize them and like to try to make them all stand up!
Climbing on boxes - I try to keep the toys as organized as possible - I think that is more for MY sanity than anything else! They often empty out the drawers, turn them upside down, and use them as chairs, stepping stones, or platforms :)
Morgan gets a hug from Sofia... one of her very favorite friends in the world!
Need a fun outing, and the zoo is too far away? Head for a PetSmart that has Doggie Daycare! The kids were entertained watching the canine antics - and I think the dogs were pretty amused by their audience as well!
Dad and James check out the rats. James was most mesmerized by visiting the fish - especially the tank that has a million goldfish to watch!
The girls enjoyed seeing the guinea pigs and rats, too! Their favorite was the cats - they would giggle and meow right back!
On our first birthday, we received SOCK MONKEY house shoes from Syd - one of our playmates (who we are missing terribly)! The kids LOVE them!
I really had visions of the monkeys being ripped off their feet! No complaints at all! I think some of the monkeys even received some kisses!!
I like the way they look on the cabinets once everyone is in bed!
The kids love books - so we have them all over the house! The girls have recently discovered magazines, usually finding the pictures of socks and pointing to their feet, pictures of noses and pointing to their own, or ripping out the little cardboard cards and giving them to me as trash! Here, James is reading one of his favorite dog books!

| Magazine time again! James finished his reading, so he discovered a toy to play with while his sisters finished the latest articles. I'm SURE if we had a car magazine (or anything with wheels), he would have been much more interested! |
