pc is down

Our pc crashed yesterday - so I won't be able to upload any pictures for a short while.... but we sure have been busy!



- Gabby is getting very good at using the potty. Just a few days ago she did both #1 and #2 and couldn't have been more proud of herself! (of course I caught a picture!!!)

- We had a wonderful fall leaf fight with our cousins, Joe-Joe and Thomas

- We have been having enjoyable Sunday dinners with the Schwartz side of our family... and the trio LOVE having all the family over... (the attention and spoiling doesn't hurt)

- Baby G (as we have dubbed the new born baby) is growing right on track

and much much more... pictures to come soon!

in denial

I'm not quite sure what I was thinking....Not only did Lou and I come down with strep in early Oct, but then in mid-Oct a bug circulated with our cousins... then I had a horrible GI bug.... Lou never seemed to really get over the cold/strep he had going on.... another round of flu with our other cousins... but I wasn't going to make them live in a bubble. We went to story time at the library, visited Pa at the hospital and went to stores..... and yet I thought - "the trips had their flu shot (as did Lou and I) and will be fine." WRONG! This week, all 3 came down with the flu and in full force. Poor kids... but at least now they can verbalize what they are feeling and understand the concept of being sick. If only I could have stopped them from giving it back to me...

personalities

Who are these kids??? They are growing up so, so fast! They have conversations with each other... enjoy tormenting each other (today, Mary insisted upon putting her head/face on Gabby's shoulder at the grocery store while Gabby screamed "no, get her off of me" the entire time) .... and love to hug each other. It goes without saying that they have a special bond... and that although they each have their own personalities, they are also "one". How special is that?

daddy time

There is no better feeling than coming home to find the family playing so nicely together. The trio were enjoying some gooooood "daddy time" while dressed up in costumes... (thank you, Aunt Cas - for all the dress up clothes!)
Mary is in a clown costume and Gabby is dressed up as "baby bop" - Barney's friend. They sure can't get enough of their "dadda!"
