Beautiful girl

Cleaning up my email (a year and a half later), I found some nice pictures of Anya, professionally made. Here is the best:

Although this next one is a close second:

Beautiful fall

We had the warm fall weather for a nice long time. The babies discovered the outside up close (not just the riding in the stroller type):

They adore leaves:

And cars:

and more leaves:

And in general, they are just plain adorable themselves:

What are they teaching the 7th graders?

How to bow (Charlotte Web middle school play):

How to goof off in bathrooms:

How to bug parents with cute animals for adoption:

How to show off your guitar:

Professional pictures!

Between work and home how I got organized enough to do these, I don't know to this day. These are gorgeous, though :)

All of us:

Almost all:

Kids galore:

Julie bean:

Paulie:

Alexander:

P.S. These were taken on their 1 year birthday. September 17, that is.

Juliet was a Pooh-bear:

Boys were puppies:

Anya was Angel/Devil (you go, girl!):

Shaved heads and dots all over

The babies are sick. Yes, as soon as I stopped pumping they all got sick. And have not stopped. Yet. Now Paulie is covered with small red dots. Apparently viral and supposedly neither Measles, Rubella, or Chicken pox. I sure hope so:

Oh and them losing the hair has nothing to do with being sick. Just a family tradition. Which made the hairstylists cry. Alex was so cool with it:

And Juliet could care less:

Babies are a year old!!!!!!!!!!!!

We survived a whole year. All of us. Even the cat. Although at times we did not see him for days. Oh may be it was my brain that was missing for days. Amazingly, the babies loved their cupcakes. Probably because my missing brain was not the one that thought of them or made them happen. Anya did:

And here is the three now one-year-olds:
