The Big Kids

The babies have been getting so much attention lately, that I decided to devote this blog post to the "big" kids. They are doing great, by the way! Loving on their baby brothers and plugging along with all of their activities.

Hannah was a super soccer star this fall, particularly at goalie. She loved every minute and can't wait for the spring season already. Our living room has turned into a soccer field from time to time now too...don't worry, we make sure the babies aren't anywhere nearby!

One beautiful fall afternoon, we ventured to the park...babies were bundled and the kids had a blast!

(we didn't make it to the park too often this past summer...I couldn't walk that far in the heat being so preggo w/ the babies!)

Monkey #1 - Ellie

Monkey #2 - Sammy

And our collector (and monkey #3) - Hannah

Our pond...I'm not a huge fan of geese, but I thought the lighting was so pretty at that time of day, despite the subjects in the picture. 

Much better subject!

Halloween 2011

Hope Solo (US Soccer Team Goalie) - Pretty Princess (Ellie will probably choose this costume for the rest of her trick-or-treating life!) and Superman (that he is!)

H wanted to take a "serious" picture...I love it! She is one fierce soccer player!

 Muscles!

Pretty pretty girl

Batman and his crew!

Babies stayed home w/ Grandma Giere and no, I didn't dress them up...sorry. :)

Next up...more baby pictures!
