November Pictures!!!

Here are the many pictures I thought you'd like to see.
We had to cut down the big tree in our front yard due to it being rotten. A few days after it was cut down I had the kids outside and decided to take a picture with them on the stump. As you can see Liz was thrilled with my idea.
The kids enjoyed watching daddy work on the tree from the picture window in the living room. They would wave at him.

After we took the fence down from protecting the TV we let the kids use it as a "house" which they enjoyed going in ond out of the door, hiding in it and putting all their toys in it. Then one night the boys decided to disassemble it. We let them and they had a great time playing with all the pieces. We got it on film too.

These are pictures from the last time playing with the leaves before they were picked up and moved. They absolutely loved having the extra "toy", can't wait to see them in the snow!

Alexis was here the day that we played for the last time. The kids used the table for more than just juice, but leaves too.

Everyone jump into the giant leaf pile!!!

Trip to the NICU...picture of the family...very different from the last family picture we had at the NICU on the day that Liz and Zach were discharged.

Liz loves her little doll highchair (which is a stool and a chair as well). This day she decided to cover it with the Green Bay Packer blanket and sit down. She is just too funny!!!

Zach and Alexis wrestling...

Every so often Alex will grab a book and just start reading...

After dinner while Jeremy and I were cleaning up the kids began playing with their ice cream buckets. After getting the lids off Liz found a different way to play with them...

then Zach joined in...

and finally Alex tried too.

After rearranging the toys in the play area and making the wooden toy box that was not accessible before part of their play things, the kids had to try it out...first the boys...

then Liz and Alex...

and finally all 3!

Alex and Zach wrestling...

The loves of my life...daddy and the kiddos...

Future model??? As the other 2 were playing on the floor I turn to find Alex with his hand in his pocket like he was modeling the pants he had on...lol!

The boys playing in a basket too small for the both of them but nevermind that...Zach is trying some of the yummy pretend food and Alex is dialing up someone to talk to...

Alex must have reached someone...

and both of them trying to read the same book.

While the boys played in the basket Liz played on the couch cushion...trying her pretend food...

She is a goofy girl...

Group picture...think they are getting too big for the one chair...

Usually silence in the house is a bad thing...I would say 98% of the time...but a few times it has been a good thing...this time I found Liz and Alex sharing the chair reading their own books...

reading does not have to be serious stuff, right?!?!?

Not only were Alex and Liz reading but Zach found himself a good spot on the couch...

again not always serious stuff!
