03.18.12 - First birthday gift

Tommy opened his first birthday gift today: a zoo magnet set from Uncle Brian and Aunt Emily. He wasn't quite sure what to do so Maddie and Harley showed him.

03.16.12 - Cleanup in Aisle One

I'm not sure who dropped Cheerios first but they all had a hand in cleaning them up.

02.29.12 - Puppy kisses

Harley is a lot more selective on when and where she gives out puppy kisses these days. Here, she interrupts a visit from Coco, our Parents as Teachers parent educator.

02.15.12 - Moochie McMoocherson

Harley has taught Tommy her favorite trick - begging for food.

02.14.12 - Sunshines

Harley likes to lie in the sunshines. She won't let an active almost-one-year-old get in her way.

02.07.12 - Open the door!

I'm not sure if Harley is saying, "let me in!" or if Tommy is saying, "let me out!" Either way, they were helpless and neither can reach the door handle!

01.04.12 - Good dog

Harley puts up with a lot. Secretly, I think she likes it.

12.09.11 - Spaghetti dinner

You'll never guess who was camped at the base of Tommy's high chair as he enjoyed his first spaghetti dinner tonight. :)

11.23.11 - On the lookout

Maddie keeps an eye out for oncoming traffic as we pull over to the side of the road for Harley to sniff whatever it was she was sniffing. It was such a nice day today we had to get out for a walk. Look for more photos of today's walk on Maddie's blog soon.

10.07.11 - The brood at bedtime

This is what the few minutes before bedtime usually looks like at our house. Maddie is watching "my moo-bie" - usually a 20 minute Strawberry Shortcake or Dora cartoon, Tommy is trying to fall asleep on the sofa, Harley is already asleep on the sofa and Nate ... well, who knows what he might be up to!

09.23.11 - Couch potatoes

Harley likes to snuggle with just about anyone who sits on the couch.

09.18.11 - Get outta my face!

Tommy clearly didn't like this puppy kiss, which may or may not have been instigated by a bit of peanut butter strategically placed on his nose!

05.30.11 - Shhh! Two people are sleeping!

Actually, there were four little people sleeping when this photo was made. The other two actually happened to be in their beds.

03.27.11 - Notice a trend here?

We won't let the kids sleep with us at night but what's the harm in a little cat nap during the day? Now, Harley on the other hand ...

03.26.11 - Cuddle buddies

Harley hasn't wasted any time bonding with her new baby brother. Or stealing his blankies. :)
