No fooling us

Oh the interesting discussions we have been having.  As you can see Eloise's hair is getting quite long so we were talking about haircuts and possibly donating her hair to Locks of Love.  While Eloise is not convinced of the idea, Claudia is busy thinking about the idea of a wig.  Then Claudia replies "it's OK to do a wig 'cause Hannah Montana wigs it" 

and the babies well..

Matt received the phone call "Matt, you need to stop at Babies R US and purchase a Super Yard because Vincent just pulled over our lamp!" so as the girls like to say the babies are now caged.  Oh the fun we have!!

Looks can be deceiving.

Some quiet time

Our ever Spunky Eloise

Yes, this is Claudia breastfeeding "CoGo"

You go girl, Claudia leads the class out with high steps!

We may look innocent!

Snow Days

We have been cooped up in the house for a couple of days as the temperatures here in Rochester have been quite cold.  Some photos to share of our time indoors.

Finally, we have a little one on the move.  Vincent needed the right motivation and Claudia enjoys the chase.

She got away this time!

Some favorite plastics

I could go through the day categorizing which plastics make my life easier, which would be difficult to live without, and which make a statement.  

Depicted below are my current favorites, from each category.  

The "Medicator" and "Fresh food feeder" from Munchkin, which make our life even more pleasant with the little ones.  

Beautiful Julianne demonstrating with her delicious Zantac and Amoxicillin.

Now for the "can't live without"  

Introducing the braces that Claudia has worn day after day without fail.  They help her to stand taller on feet that don't turn under themselves.

And finally the plastics that make me smile, because I know that in some home where a child has never been exposed to Claudia, he is asking "Mom, what is this?"  And hopefully that parent will respond simply "a wheelchair."  In as matter a fact voice, that leaves the child to believe it really isn't a big deal to get around on wheels.  Thanks Fisher Price and Playmobil for your plastic that will make my daughter seem more "common?" 

Clean Smiles?

If there is one thing that we have learned from having multiple multiples is that when one has something, be it a nuk, or a Hannah Montana guitar, the others are going to want it.  So little Julianne just may end up getting a tooth brush before she has any teeth.  Happy brushing!

Happy New Year

We might exercise more..

We might eat better..

But don't count on us to change all our habits!
