Happy Halloween or Reformation Day or whatever-you-wish-to-celebrate this 31st day of October. We’re taking our kids trick-or-treating on the street tonight but we did go to a Reformation Day party over the weekend so I think we’re covered. I wish I had known about this before naptime because I totally would have wrapped Lexi in some tin foil for a burrito.
We’ve been busy. Someday I’ll blog about our day without cable service and how Charter annoys me. Here’s a picture to show what has really kept me from blogging: my sweet and active girls and my newly painted foyer.

Things are progressing on the house, we’ve got a verbal agreement but since we’re both in cities other than where our realtors are, the paperwork will take an extra day or so.
Here are some pictures of the girls I took eight days ago now:

We also got some video of Kate egg hunting, perhaps I’ll upload that someday… I have a lot of pictures to upload…

I was talking to a friend Monday who has three small children (all under 3 years old.) She asked me how Lexi was doing and what she was up to. I told her how sweet and friendly she is and how she blows raspberries all day long. Then I told her she was very strong and admitted that I rarely put her down for tummy time since her muscle tone is fine without it and certainly hadn’t done so in well over a week. I declared that I cared so little about milestones I haven’t tried, but I bet if I set her down on her tummy, she’d roll right over. I got off the phone, set Lexi on her tummy and she rolled from stomach to back in less than 90 seconds. So, Lexi, someday when you are reading this, know that you rolled over for the first time at 13.5 weeks, hindered by the lack of interest your mother had in that pursuit. With Kate, I had less to do and spent time on the floor with her, encouraging her. Lexi gets so much less of my undivided attention, but when she does, we have a great time just enjoying each other.

We’re all enjoying Mike’s spring break this week and blogging will probably continue to be light, unless I get inspired. I make no promises. I did upload a few new pictures of the girls to various albums.

Some days I wonder how people parent infants sanely without babywearing.

New pictures uploaded here. Just to be difficult, you need to check all three active categories (“Kate” “Lexi” and “Family Life”) to see them all. No, really, I am not trying to make more work for you, just less for me, and changing from Coppermine to Gallery enabled me. I am planning on scrapbooking sometime in the far distant future and this’ll help me keep our pictures organized for that. That’s why I keep blogs for the girls as well, so I’ll know what to write even if I don’t get around to doing it for years. As long as blogger’s servers don’t crash and lose everything, I should be set. The pictures are backed up, of course.

We had our first snowfall of the season today. As we need to reinstall Coppermine, for now the only place you can find new family pictures of snow play, pigtails and more is Kate’s blog.

I am really having fun doing some photo announcements (birth, change of address, Christmas, etc.) for friends and acquaintances. Here’s one I did recently:

About 15 minutes before our apartment complex Halloween party, we decided to go, so I threw together a costume for Kate to wear. Here’s our little ballerina:
