Little Girls

The girls played so nicely today.They stuck together and were very girly together all day long. Poor Mitchell was feeling very left out. Here they are hiding under the dining room table.

And behind the piano...

And in my bed...

And in our closet...

I opened the door to my room to check on how things were going in there, and three naked girls ran out. I thought it was a good opportunity for a bath. They had a wonderful time in there, and I was wondering how I would get them out. Louisa took care of that for me. She pooped in the tub. They evacuated quickly after that. 

Alec's pictures

Alec can't stop himself from making these poses. He gave a presentation yesterday (about himself) to his 1st grade class and demonstrated some karate moves and dance moves. He fancies himself quite an expert on those things and several others besides. I love it. Just wish I could get a normal picture now and then....

Pictures by Linda

When we were in CA last week, Linda took some fun pictures of us. We had the flowers from Dave and Rebecca's dinner and wanted to take advantage it. Linda has a wonderful studio in her basement, painted completely white. She also set up some backdrops outside. I am so pleased to have some beautiful pictures of Annalisa. She is so precious. The boys were less excited about having pictures taken, but they smiled nice for a few. Linda really worked hard to get everything ready, including the dying of a sheet to make a yellow backdrop. I am very grateful! These pictures capture of beauty of my little girl.

Louisa

We have been enjoying Louisa while she stays with us. Tyler and April are in London.

"Hi Mommy!" 

Trace at the Oakland temple

Anna is a fan of Uncle Trace. All the kids were so excited to see him there.

People told me I have a handsome brother.

Group Hug

Linda put Trace to work.

So sweet.
