Sweet baby faces

Silas and his cousin Evie who is four months older than him had their first photo shoot today while Benjamin and Joel David were at school. Evie was a super star and is a natural in front of the camera. She really enjoyed sitting with her "little" cousin. He on the other hand was not so aware of her yet. :)

First Day of School!

Here they are. Happy and settled in their classrooms. Joel David was happy as a clam doing what he loves best, coloring. Benjamin was very happy to be reunited with his buddy, Graham from his preschool class.

Daddy time

Benjamin and Joel David are spending the night with Mia (Taylor's mom) tonight giving Taylor and Silas some great uninterrupted moments together. Babies can sleep anywhere and anyhow, can't they?

Cool dude

Bet you've never seen a visor on a baby before. Benjamin and Joel David were tickled pink to see Silas wearing this. Joel David asked if he could pick out Silas's outfit for the day. When I showed him that this one included the visor there were no more options in his mind. So cute.

Cousin night

I was feeling pretty confident the other night. I had all 6 of these sweet, precious children in my solo care. We had a great night together. Daveney loved being with all the boys and she watched them closely for her cues. If they lay down (while watching the movie) she lay down, if they laughed, she laughed. It was so sweet to watch. Maybe next time we'll get Thompson and Hope in the picture too.

Need a pick-me-up?

This smile is sure to do the trick. Is that infectious or what? Silas' smiles typically come one right after the other and are accompanied with coos however, he was too mesmorized by the camera to put on his typical show. That's okay, this one smile is enough to charge my batteries. I hope it is true for you too. :)

BTG and JDG as Eddie

Well, I'm not at all surprised that this video is sideways. Wish I knew how to fix that. I'll figure it out some day. Benjamin and Joel David are quoting Eddie, Francis Ouimet's caddy in the movie "The Greatest Game Ever Played". Joel David just received his golf clubs from Mumsey and PaPa tonight for his 4th birthday. He's just getting the hang of carrying them. :)
