Nine is Fine

Construction

Here is the existing house. You can see where the house has been added onto over the years and for some weird reason, the previous owners put on flat roofs. In our part of the country that is not going to work!

We were going to add a garage off the back and then peak the roof in the back, adding a second story above the family room. But.....then somehow this project took on a life of it's own. Now we are adding on a three car garage, cutting off the ENTIRE roof and adding on over 2500 sq ft. While the work is being done were are ALL living in about 1000 sq ft in the front of the house. Did I mention that we are down to one bathroom? YIKES!!!!!

Kids

The twins are always so good about making sure that their homework gets done-without any reminders.

Matthew, Joshua and Hannah (with a shiner)...

The triple stroller lets me take all three little ones out for walks.

Levi and Liz

Hannah and Levi

The "Baby Team" (the kids call them that) are trying to figure out the laundry thing.

This picture was taken just before all hell broke loose. He pulled her hair and she turned around and tried to bite him. So, it is not surprising that I put them down for a nap...

Waiting for the grub...

Go Ducks!

Levi thinks that he is strong enough to pick her up...

Levi

Both the babies really like to play with the Lazy Susan.

Levi's first haircut! He was such a good sport. We were surprised that, no only did he hold totally still but he didn't cry at all!

Levi was so tired that he fell asleep before eating all his lunch.

Hannah

Luckily she's small so the dishwasher door survived...

She is starting to use a fork and actually get the food to her mouth.

Hannah had a little cold and she wasn't really feeling well. She climbed into her car seat and just kicked back resting for about an hour. Levi kept going over to her to see what she was doing.
