happy thanksgiving!

we had a wonderful thanksgiving despite the pouring rain, and we are certainly thankful and blessed with three amazing kids. let me just say, though, that trying to get a halfway decent family photo with goon #1 and her two tiny sidekicks is just about impossible!

tinker girls

here are two pretty pictures of the tinker girls. in lena's photo, she's doing one of her poses (oh dear!). note: that's a pony tail holder, NOT a gigantic ear ring...

for stella's photo, lena has picked out stella's outfit and special hat. what a little cherub.

bumbo babies

here are eli and stella in their "bumbo" seats showing off their double chins. they'll sit in these seats for about 10 minutes and stare at each other and sometimes make each other laugh, which is really funny and cute to watch.

bald spots

check out eli and stella's bald spots. stella (on the left) has created a perfect circle. eli's is a little harder to see. both their hair is definitely thinning!

Halloween

Lena picked "batgirl" for her Halloween costume this year. She looked quite stunning and especially enjoyed wearing lipstick. Eli and Stella had to go as themselves, because one batgirl costume was all I could muster up this year...
