Labor Day at the KC Zoo

3 Year Well Check

The girls went to their pediatrician today. Everyone was healthy and on the growth chart. They were excited to get there and see the doctor, but much less excited about their exam. They got a flu shot. Calista screamed and cried, but Norah and Ashlyn just admired their Hello Kitty bandaids.

Ashie = 36 in tall, 27 lbs
Calista = 37 3/4 in, 31 lbs
Norah = 37 3/4 in, 30 lbs

Is Nanook too old for dress up?

Not if you ask the girls. Just look how stylish she is in Mr. Potato Head's glasses!

THEN...

Ashlyn (4 lbs), Calista (3 lbs, 15 oz), and Norah (3 lbs, 13 oz) in their first pictures ever. I cannot believe how quickly our babies have grown!

NOW...

Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet girls!

First School Pictures

Here are the girls' school pictures from their first year of Children's Day Out.

Happy Birthday Dad!

On the way to swim

Potty Time

The girls are way enthused about using the potty these days, and they far prefer the "big podda" to the "baby podda". So far, we've had lots of success, and also some poop flinging and just a few minor injuries from being pushed off toilets.

The Easter Bunny

The girls visited the "real" Easter bunny at church today, and we got some great pictures!

Papa's Boots...

There's so many things I could say here, but I'll let you make up your own captions.

Poor Hewwit

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

A Snowy Day

This is only the second time the girls have played in the snow. They had a blast and stayed out for 45 minutes.

Norah's "Lello" Beads

There are some perks when you're parents spend 5 days in New Orleans without you... they come home with beads.
