Three Amigas!

Here are the three girls posing for a picture at a recent birthday party. The pinata had just been smashed open, and they were eating all the candy in sight. They rarely sit together for pictures, let alone while sugared-up! I managed to get about four or five shots, and this was the best. 

EMMA!

Here is Emma making her silly face. She did this for about a two weeks straight. Not really sure where she got it, but she seems to have stopped recently. 

More at Merrymead

Here is Emma being silly. Maggie wouldn't get behind the board, but she was laughing at the others while watching. 

Our Day at Merrymead Farm!

Here are Grace and Sarah being silly at Merrymead Farm. We were there the Friday before Halloween, and we had a great time. Sarah got a really big pumpkin, but unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to carve it. Maybe we'll carve a Thanksgiving Day pumpkin with a big turkey! 

More first day of school

Here is another picture from the first day of school. They are so cute! 

Emma and Maggie - First Day of School

So the twins had their first day of school (back in September), and it was short lived. They lasted a total of one day! We're hoping that next year is different, but they did not want to be there at all. Two weeks later we would drive by their school building, and they would say "I no go to school". It was obviously very truamatic for them. Oh well, maybe next time.

Other than that, they are doing very well. A little sick at the beggining of this cold season, but they are getting so big, and overall are pretty healthy.

We measured them the other day, and they both have grown about 4 inches in the past 11 months. It doesn't sond like a lot, but when you see it on their growth chart, it looks like it would be painful! 

Halloween 2005

Here is Emma, Sarah, and Maggie on Halloween 2005. Emma and Maggie are witches, and Sarah is a bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans. This was a great halloween, and everyone had alot of fun. 

This is a re-post of an earlier entry (with some updates)....

Sarah started back to school today. I can’t believe it. She’s in FOURTH grade. She is growing up so fast. As we’ve done every year since she started school, we’ve taken her picture in front of the birch tree, and I've posted it below. She is getting so big. Maybe I will go and find all the old ‘first day’ pictures, and post them too (wasn't able to find as many as I had hoped to, but there are two others below). I’m sure when she gets home, she will have plenty of stories to tell about her first day, so I will post more later. Sarah LOVED her first day. She had a lot of stories to tell, and I'm sure this is going to be a great year for her. The twins also start school soon. 9/19 is their first day. I will certainly have pictures from that, and will post them as soon as I get them. I’m sure the day will be more traumatic for Bridget than for the twins, but I’ll keep you all posted.

Sarah - 2005 - 4th GRADE!!!!! 

This is Sarah's First Day of school from 2004. 

Ok, so this isn't in front of the birch tree, but it is from Sarah's first day of kindergarten. I will look for others and post them also. 

Smile for the camera. The next couple of pictures are from about a week ago when the girls had a finger-painting day.
 

Emma loves finger painting. 

Sarah loves finger painting. She has a great time playing with the twins. 

and some more.... 

Just some more. 

More finger-painting pictures. 

Here's Emma and Maggie in the closet reading their books. 

Magie at Jake's party....before the popsicle. 

Emma loves her hat. Doesn't she look beautiful? 

This is Maggie and Emma at their cousin Jake's birthday party. They REALLY love popsicles! 

Sarah's first day of school - Fourth Grade! 

Back to School

Sarah started back to school today.  I can’t believe it.  She’s in FOURTH grade.  She is growing up so fast.  As we’ve done every year since she started school, we’ve taken her picture in front of the birch tree, and I will post it later today.  She is getting so big.  Maybe I will go and find all the old ‘first day’ pictures, and post them too.  I’m sure when she gets home, she will have plenty of stories to tell about her first day, so I will post more later.

The twins also start school soon.  9/19 is their first day.  I will certainly have pictures from that, and will post them as soon as I get them.  I’m sure the day will be more traumatic for Bridget than for the twins, but I’ll keep you all posted.

New Venture?

I love to talk to people about technical stuff.  Nothing specific, just all things technical.  People come to me all the time looking for help, and I am always willing to share what I know.  Bridget seems to think that I should start a business doing tech support consulting, but I’m not sure how it would work out.  Her idea did get me thinking about it, and I’ve decided to start another blog about sharing technical information.  You can check it out here:

Tech Knowledge Transfer

I’m not sure what it will lead to, but who knows, maybe it’ll take off.

Feel free to post any questions you might have, and I will do my best to answer them.

Talk to you all soon.

End of Summer

End of Summer

We’re coming to the end of the season, and it was a great summer.  All the girls had a great summer.  Sarah is getting ready to go back to school.  She will be starting the fourth grade.  Can you believe it?  I certainly can’t.  The twins will also be starting school in September.  They will be going two days a week for two hours a day.  A little bit of social interaction for them.  Bridget seems to think that they are going to have a hard time with it, but I think it’s going to be Bridget that has the more difficult time.  We’ll have to see what happens.

Sarah is always a good sport when it comes to the girls. 

Maggie loved the water.....as long as it stayed far away from her. 

Emma and me in the ocean. She had a blast everytime she was in the water.
