Through the years with Caroline

First Haircut
Easter 2006
October 2006 Caroline fell down the stairs and broke her arm.

Caroline turned six on Aug 6th

First Day of School

August 10, 2009 came too quick this year. The first day of school again. The girls just keep getting bigger and bigger. Lindsey is now a big 5th grader. I can't believe that it is her last year of elementary school. It seems like yesterday that Brian graduated from law school and Lindsey began Kindergarten 3 months later. Kirsten is now in 3rd grade and Caroline is in 1st. Lauren starts preschool on September 1st. In two short years I will have them all in school all day! That is so weird!

Tilapia anyone?

This is what I made for dinner tonight. It is called Lime Butter Fish with easy herb pasta. Very yummy. The kids even liked it. Brian set a new record tonight on his commute home. 2hrs 45 min. There was a gas spill. So he sat and sat and sat. The girls and I were so sad. He even left 45 min earlier than normal so that he could spend more time with us.
Kirsten is my sweet little pal! I sure do love her!

Why is it so Quiet?

Well, the kids did go back to school. I still need to post pictures of their first day. So is has been very quiet around here, just Lauren and I. Lauren is going to start pre-school on September 1st. She will go twice a week. That will be a much needed break for me. I think I might possibly spend most of my time alone at the gym. Yeah!!!

Today I was wondering why Lauren was being so quiet and not demanding my attention. I thought she was just having a great time playing. So, I left her alone. She has never ever done anything destructive in our house or to our house for that matter. She really is a good girl. Well, today she found the nail polish and decided to paint her own nails. This being my fourth girl and this has happened more times than I can count, I did not get mad at all (I usually do). The picture tells the story. At least it was on the tile in the bathroom and not on any carpet. I love you Lauren. Mommy is not mad. (She said," mom I think you are going to be mad".)

Tumbling

We put Lindsey and Kirsten in tumbling this summer. They absolutely loved every minute of it. They went Mon - Thur for 1 1/2 hours for the whole summer. They both learned how to do a round off back handspring. Kirsten loves it so much. She spends a lot of her spare time out on our trampoline practicing. Lindsey did a great job too, she just doesn't think about tumbling nonstop like Kirsten does. Here are a few videos of them at their class. And one of Kirsten in our neighborhood doing it on the grass.
