Bun Bun and Dino wearing gloves to keep them warm while playing outside with the Hilberts.
The kids have created a new game where Sophie and Henry play that they are Fred and Sara Hilbert. This is their house and baby bun bun (the rabbit Sophie brought for me at the hospital when I had Stella) and dinosaur (that we won out of the game at CiCi's pizza) are their children. Dave and I are the grandparents and Stella is the cousin.

Sara Hilbert working on perfecting her rope swing form (you can just see her purple legs climbing to try the rope swing for the thousandth time)



Grandma and Grandpa sent matching pj's for the kids! They wore them for the first time all together! Aren't they adorable?

Stella's CRAWLING!! This is her venturing into the downstairs bathroom while I was trying to send an email! I called her name and this is her peeking out!
'Hi Mommy!!'

She flaps her arms and waves her hands when she's excited!


And then crawls over for some hugs and kisses!



Such a happy baby!!




We had a playdate and the kids made turkeys with the feathers they found scattered around our backyard. Sophie had a great time! Henry wanted to run over the feathers with his 'tractor' and was bummed that this wouldn't be allowed!


The kids eating 'dirt' out of a flowerpot! We put chocolate pudding and crushed oreos in the glass bowl and then added fake flowers! We kept it on the center of the kitchen table and nobody ever guessed that it was the snack for the day! :)


This is cute-as-pie Henry at his Thanksgiving Feast for pre-school.

Henry - Benry making cookie-mix-in-a-jar for his teachers for a Thanksgiving gift. He loved handing these out and was so proud!

This is Henry explaining what he would say if he encountered a monster. He would tell him "You stoop out!" (In a very loud and scary voice)
This is Sophie showing off her cookie-mix-in-a-jar gift for her teachers for Thanksgiving. We talked about what she is thankful for this year and at the top of her list is food!

Stella hung out in the sink while I picked up the dishes from making the jar cookies! Isn't she so cute?



One of my girlfriends invited us over for dinner on a night while both of our hubbys were working late. Look at all of the kids!

Sophie loves jumping in leaves and she's introduced her little sister to the fun!
The three happy kids!

She loves this so much!






Sophie holding up a huge boulder on our hike at 'bear's den'
She really loved climbing on top of all of these huge rocks!


The view was absolutely beautiful
