  E4 enjoyed putting my cousin’s hat on her head and then taking it off.  I thought it was apropos that it was a newsboy cap, as our family is all about newspapers.

  My mom has always wanted a tetherball set, so when she was in town and saw one in the store she got it for the kids to play.  It’s a giant tetherball, and the kids had so much fun!  Although I’m going to have to do a little research about the game- according to […]

  E3 and E4 almost always play together well.  I think E3 likes being a guide of sorts, helping E4 with whatever.  In fact, it seems the only times they aren’t getting along is when E3 is trying to help and E4 really doesn’t want it.

  E3 at a rest stop somewhere in Montana.  How is she so happy after almost 2 days in a van?  That’s just E3! I was so excited to get the sunshine glow in the picture!
