Growing up

I've noticed lately how much these darn kids of ours are growing up.  Chloe is reading books now, Isaac has come so far with handwriting, and the little girls are just that -- little girls.  They aren't babies anymore and they speak very clearly.  We are still busy as ever, the kids still cause as much trouble as ever, but they are definitely growing up. 

Never underestimate the entertainment value of toilet-paper-roll binoculars.

Chloe & Isaac always check out the animal books from the library.

Where are you going, Amelia?

"Ummm, Tessa's."

I don't know how long this will last.

PRETEND hair cutting with ROUNDED scissors. 

My guess is that it won't last very long.
