Sleeping Babies

These are some cute pictures of the youngest two at rest. Yet again, we have a little girl who likes to get dressed up in some strange attire and refuses to take it off for the remainder of the day. Claire did this a bit, but Tory had a penchant for really wacky hats and shoes.


I also discovered that the mark that Ryan gets on his forehead from doing this takes a few hours to disappear. So maybe next time I'll forego the quiet lunch for aesthetics.

Charlotte's Birthday

Charlotte turned 2 on November 30th. We had spaghetti and garlic bread and then the cake. Charlotte is a little pro when it comes to blowing out candles and she also knows how to open presents.

This is the little dirt devil vacuum cleaner that she got as a gift from Mom and Dad. It also came with a little hand held unit that became the weapon of choice against Claire the next morning. Oh the innocence of the young!

One nice development upon turning two is that Charlotte is now trying to put on her clothes instead of taking them off. She is now trying to do most things herself but has become a little "no bird" as John styles it. It's also funny in how she has learned to blame Ryan for any messes or strange smells.
