Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Chicago got it's first snow (that stuck) this past Sunday night.

This was the view from our balcony bright and early Monday morning:

And it has been COLD here! Like ridiculous cold. The kind where it just hurts. Ugh. Morning commutes to and from and between trains are less than ideal this time of year.

And here are my little piggies all warm and toasty in their fleece jammies

And for your viewing pleasure, I give you: The Baby Moon-Scoot.

Christmas Past

These were my Christmas Miracles last year.

I loved their little Reindeer suits! Can you guess which one is O & which is C? Just came across this picture tonight so wanted to share.

Sunday Funday

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at our family friend's - The Drogos'. And then afterwards, daddy took the girls home and mommy went shopping with all the big girls! So much fun.

I wish I would have gotten a picture of all the kiddos together.

Here are a few I got.

Pretty Livi

Baby Sophie. So cute!

Liners

And the girls blow kisses now! A video:

Saturday Morning

It's just me and the girls hanging out this morning as daddy has to work.

A few videos.

They saw me wiping up some spilled milk off the floor and wanted to help:

The girls singing, kinda:

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Only one week late!

We were in St. Louis with my dad & step mom all last week and weekend for the holiday. The girls of course enjoyed all of the attention, and Rob & I really enjoyed all the help. I didn't give one bath the whole time! Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa!

So due to the lack of posting over the last week, here is a photo OVERLOAD from out trip.

Liv "new toys!!!"

Caroline trying to break out of the baby gate.

She was pretty determined.

Liv being sweet with Grandpa

Singing to each other.

And as usual, the stairs were their favorite activity of the trip.

Mommy & Liv w/ her funny 'do

Grandma & Liney

What is this face!?

Us all busy in the kitchen Thanksgiving morning.

The poor cat was scared to death of the munchkins.

Yet another place we had to baby-proof.

They wanted to help.

And Grandma Linda's tupperware cabinet is WAY more fun than mommy's!!!

The pies I made.

It was so unseasonably warm those days!!!

We were all outside in our PJ's and barefeet!

Grandpa & Olivia relaxing

Grandma & Caroline

Cheeeeese!

They were deep in conversation


Little Liners

Sweet Liv

Daddy's girls

They were really interested in the berry tree in the backyard.

They carried around TV remotes like they would a baby doll.

And we switched the girls to their "Big Girl" carseats! And Livi meets the requirements to face forward now! She looks like such toddler now.

Poor Pipsqueaker Caroline still has to face backward.

Yay! A family trip to Costco on Black Friday.

Can you tell the girls were very excited for this?

Starting to get very close to nap time...

Cartoons at Costco!
