October birthdays

Guess we didn't take any great pictures, but we had a house full of fifteen fabulous people over the weekend for my family's October (and November) birthdays. Thanks for coming down here everyone! Hope you all had a good time!

As usual, it seems we mostly just took pictures of the kids.

The Kids

A little fall photo shoot of four of my favorite people!

"Mommy, I don't have time to have my hair done. I'm creating art here."

Loving Jada's hands and posture when she is really getting down on the keys.

Her big sister is a captive and sweet audience-- today.

Sometimes they battle over who gets to play. They're not too great at sharing the piano bench,

Gushing over my Baby!

Jada,

In case I've neglected to mention it, YOU make me happy! Love the way you dance to a perfect beat the second you hear music playing. I adore the way you try to sing to every song you hear by copying the vowel sounds at the end of every line. I love how you can eat all of your dinner and still be "hungwy" for whatever Aubree has left on her plate. You make me laugh when you pretend to eat and make "chomp" noises. You are always happy and always ready to give hugs and kisses. You say "Hi" to everyone you see, which makes grocery store trips much longer than they should be, but it also makes my heart happy to see you sharing your joyful little spirit with strangers. You are a delight, little blessing!

I love you (and I love that you can now say "I love you, too!") You are a sunny little girl who makes Mommy very, very proud and happy!
