iPhoto update

We can thank Emerson and her 4:30am wide awake chat session for this early morning post.  While she has since settled back into a nice slumber, I am, of course, now wide awake with coffee and Morning Joe.  Tired but enjoying the quiet.   Anyway, I have random photos sitting in my iPhoto library that haven't been blogged (some are out there on Instagram) and some videos I'm trying to upload as well.  Get excited.....27 (yes, twenty-seven + a video!!!) photos for your Wednesday morning enjoyment.  How's that for a little 5:45am productivity?
Grant as a wee babe.... I see Emerson, anyone else?

 He still poses like this after a bath...

 Best buds...

 Baby cheeks......and no, I'm not nursing mom:)   She may or may not have thought I was emailing around a cute pic of Emerson while I was feeding her.  That would be my arm.

 Christopher was here a few weeks ago and he and Reesers did what they do best.  Fight and be naked.

 Ryan got some fun sprinkler/water toys for her birthday....Reese particularly liked the hop-scotch mat.  I particularly liked watching her try to keep her balance, the darn thing was slippery as heck but Reese got a kick out of it.  And thankfully no broken bones.

 We have some nice neighbor friends down the street who have two older girls so lucky us, we are often on the receiving end of some really nice hand-me-down toys.  This time around, a cute puppet stage.  Reese gave us a show while Ryan and "Sparkles" watched and/or heckled.

 Brown eyed girl.

 Swimming is going well....love, love, love Mr. Chuck and Infant Swim.  Reese on top, Ryan on bottom here.

Emerson even got a turn this week.....she'll get her turn for real next spring.  

 Ryan giving Sparkles a roller-skating lesson while Emerson and pile-o-Barbies patiently wait.

 Dog on baby.  Funny?  

 iPad viewing

 New talent....

 Goggles are key to success...

 Dad's car wash dates.  Please keep in mind, these gals dress themselves.  So Ryan's choice of neon orange ribbon-serving-as-belt is all her.   Same with Reese's ruffle overload.

 A little video to accompany the car wash....

Emerson and I went out to my folks awhile back for a slumber party, so Grant had a cross-off-the-St.Louis-bucket-list evening with Ryan and Reese and drove them over to Belleville, IL for a drive-in movie.  

 Killing time before the movie started...

 Sisters helping sisters steal boatloads of paint chips....

 Ms. Ryan

 This girl, I tell ya.....she randomly came in with her swimsuit and goggles, got on the floor and proudly pronounced that she was practicing her swimming for Mr. Chuck.

 After bath mirror admiration...

That's it!  The girls did just start dance camp this week which is beyond precious so I'll have to get back to you all with some photos and videos.
