I have been trying to find the time to blog all week, but every time I think I have a minute, something else is more needful. So I’m going to do a quick post with pictures that I’ve taken over the last week that I love. Warning: This will be pretty random.
I love me a baby girl in pigtails! Isa’s hair is just getting long enough to put it up like this and even though she’s not a fan, I think it’s adorable. My memory is terrible, but one image that holds fast for me is that of Julianna at this age in pigtails. I need to find a picture of her at this age and post it.

Speaking of Julianna, I went in with her to ballet class last week to get some photos. Her teacher is wonderful and didn’t even bat an eyelash at me snap, snap, snapping away at all of them. This is one of her warming up and I absolutely LOVE it. My girl adores ballet! I will do another post about that as soon as I have more than 5 minutes.

Before ballet class last Thursday, I worked like a mad-woman to get the whole Crew (sans Ty, who had classes) out the door for a hike at a local park. It was a perfectly cool and cloudy day and we had a wonderful time! It deserves it’s own post too, because I snapped 200 pictures, literally. But here was one that I loved. Not because of the babies… ok, well, YES!, I love the shot of the babies, but my big happy with this particular picture is that I found a double stroller that is PERFECT for us. I’ve always like umbrella-type strollers a zillion times better than the big, bulky ones because they live in my trunk, so the least amount of space it occupies, the better. Well, I found this at Babies R Us a few weeks ago and was able to trade in my single, bulky stroller which gave me a significant discount on an already inexpensive double stroller. Score! I like it and so do they:

Here’s a close-up of my smiling little love. She is just so dern kissy.

And here is another one that makes me want to nibble her cheeks for days:

I took these the other night and fell in love. Here is Isa “helping” her sissy to get her pacifier. So sweet! It’s funny though, because so many times, I catch Isa sucking on the “binky” that is attached to Carah. I crack up every time!

Alrighty, my 5 minutes are up. People are hungry and have started to wander away from their schoolwork, so I must go drive the herd back to task…

Great job with the camera, Mom! You’re getting really good with that thing! I LOVE the pic of Julianna at ballet. It’s beautiful. We need to plan a camping trip.
Just spent a few moments catching up on some of my favorite peeps in the whole darn world. Seeing the pics of Isa and the dog, JuJu as a beautiful young lady, sweet Carah who I NEED to HOLD, and more, I miss you guys terribly. So thankful for the chance to e-catch up, but will have to plan a visit soon. Thank you for diligently keeping us posted. Oh, and so glad you found a good library
