Mimi and Evelyn

pretty girl, mommy at the dentist

she was so good. For the last 6 years, whenever I have an appointment - doctor, dentist, car, whatever - the kiddos go with me unless Gene is home, in which case only one goes with me. Evelyn was so good. She cooed and stared at the dentist and hygienists (who all oogled her and her brother earlier in the day), fell asleep for my cleaning, slept through it until the very end when we had to move her so we could get X-rays. then she woke up, happy. I love the good days. No, really. The good days so outweigh the bad at this point. She's so pretty!

Last day of Kindergarten

Handsome lad, isn't he?

















Here's the bus. We were turning left, fortunately with a left green arrow ;)













And here's Dru getting on the bus for the last time this year! We love Miss Allen - hope we get her again next year! Note the fully buttoned shirt. He was so careful to button them all this morning!

babygirl to the world, "knock out diabetes"

Little miss went with me to my diabetes class this past Monday. She was awesome. 1 feeding (really quite uncomfortable with 4 80-year-old men sitting across a conference room table from me), 1 massively dirty diaper (the class was held at a doctors' office - strangely, they didn't have a changing station, fortunately they were amenable to me using a table with the disposable paper stuff) She really is outgrowing the "easy" chair quickly. In this pic, 1 week shy of 3 months. Note the position of the head positioner thingy.

one of my favorite pix of all time of big one!

he looks like a little movie star, doesn't he?
