Christmas pics 2010

The challenge: 4 kids one perfect Christmas photo.

Callie and Tobin 6 months old

Callie and Tobin turned 6 months old in Florida. While there, Callie mastered rolling over and sleeping through the night (one of mom's favorites:). Tobin started rolling over more and "talking". Tobin sounds like he is really trying to talk. They both are sleeping more consistently for a morning and afternoon nap and a short evening nap. There is also lots of drooling. Tobin got his first tooth on 12/14!

The Kindness of Strangers

Taking four small children to the beach is a lot like moving :) When we got to the beach, we had to set up a tent and all of our stuff. One day, two women came over and offered to help. They set up our tent. And later held a crying baby so I could get the other one to sleep, and Jon could keep the 2 older kids from drowning in the ocean. We were really thankful for the help!

Jon's 31st

We celebrated Jon's birthday while in FL. Sara and Jonas had a fun time helping frost the cake and put in all the candles.

Florida 2010

We took a road trip to FL. We survived with 4 children in a van for 3 days each way. They all did an amazing job! The babies cried for about an hour total of the trip. Sara and Jonas watched tons of movies and the time went pretty quickly. We were ablet to stay in a great condo, enjoy the beach a few days and the pool. The kids love our time in FL. It's nice to just hang out and take it easy and enjoy being together. While there, we had to get a new transmission, but thankfully the warranty we bought with our used van covered the majority of it. We returned refreshed and ready to be home :)

Frog PJs

Cousin Kelsey stayed for the night when we were celebraing Grandpa Bob's birthday. Sara and Jonas had a blast playing with her. Sara and Kelsey both have frog pj's and wanted to get a pic together (&Jonas wanted to be included :).

Cool Hats

Callie and Tobin are sporting their hats from Japan. They are 5 months old, starting to laugh lots, explore, and interact more. So fun.
