Lily's 15 minutes of fame

Lily and Ella got to model a few things. It went OK, but they are at a stage where natural smiles don't come on demand so easily. So a few cute pictures happened anyhow, but we know that the pictures don't quite do their characters justice.

Ella and Odessa have some pictures on the way as well

PS: these pictures belong to Jackie, but she said it is OK for me to use them (just not use them to sell the clothes)

More pictures of Odessa

We had a great weekend as my parents came to stay with us. as Lily said, they "drove and drove and drove and turned and parked behind Rocket."
Odessa is really crawling now. Forward and everything. With this new freedom, she is also deciding that she should have a say in things concerning herself. We knew it would come some day.
Tomorrow Lily and Ella get a chance to model. I hope they enjoy it!
Here are some of Odessa's latest:

Blue dress
Flowered dress
Flower suit
Green suit
Pink

Sick

Well, the stomach bug finally caught up with us. Lily and Ella had it last night, and I seem to have a mild form of it. We had to cancel Odessa's photo shoot. Fortunately, she hasn't thrown up so far and Bob is well. We hope we're done with it. We are thankful that it is not worse!

More of the everyday

Well, we are working on lots of projects here and I don't have much time to fight with the camera and the computer, so I haven't been adding much here.
Here is one picture, courtesy of Forget me not kids, the other pictures are linked below.
Our projects are centered around selling our home. We have a bit of a drywall project going on in the entryway, and we are working on a few painting projects. We have rented a storage unit, so we have been packing up a lot of stuff. Feels pretty good to cut back on the clutter, but we still have a ways to go. I feels like we aren't getting anything moved some times because as soon as the boxes go to storage, I can see the aftermath; stuff that had to wait for the next box, papers, kids toys all over, drywall dust, etc. But I know stuff is getting done.
I have some more links of Odessa pictures from her second photo shoot. We plan to be going in again Thursday, and have Lily and Ella go in next week some time.
