blogger workshop

It seems that Amy and I are the only ones posting lately.  Bring your laptop when we get together next week and I'll go over any questions with you.  Way excited to see lots of you soon!!  Love to all,  Katie

I'm having a great time taking pictures of something other than my kidos.  Then my teacher says great landscapes, why don't you try to integrate your kids into them now.  So I'm taking pictures of the kids again.  They are pretty good at going out on cold foggy mornings and standing in weird places, for a long time, holding mostly still for me. I'll upload some of those a bit later.

Sibling's Christmas Exchange

We're trying something new!  The theme for this year is camping. Vanna White drew the names out of a hat.  Isaac isn't on the list but I encourage everyone to send him a letter and maybe a package ASAP.  We love you Elder Bird!!!!!!  There are quite a few miles between us these days so, please make sure to have the gifts delivered before Christmas.

Look What We Made

Maren can sit up pretty well on her own now... for about 30 seconds. She is getting better at it every day. Lilith loves her new toddler bed. We finished it on Saturday, so now the girls share a room. They even both slept through the night last night. Yippie. If any of you have a suggestion on how to secure the half rail to the bed better then a wire hanger let me know. We are also getting ready for Halloween. Like our Trick-or-Treat bags?

Bella Fun

Isabella Kathrine Bird

CJ & Tristen finally get to hold their new baby sister.  Bella had a bit of trouble coming and even more trouble with jondice.  But that hasn't stopped her from growing.  A few weeks old and already grown out of her newborn clothes.  Gathering from all the reports,  she's more than perfect and already has Daddy wrapped around her little finger.
