This one cracks me up. Strict big sister Charlotte trying to get reluctant Caroline to be with her for a picture.
Giving up and smelling the leaves
Caroline smelling the leaves like big sister did

I took the girl and the neighbor on their first date to the car show. They compared tastes of car paint, both enjoy flames, and the went on a motorcycle ride (imaginary while they sat on it) and said hi to Doc from the movie Cars. They both loved the green car with green flames and bugs on it.

Good Times at Home
Charlotte helped fold some towels. She was excited to learn how to fold laundry and to help me out. Sometimes I forget that kids don’t automatically know how to do things like fold laundry. I must teach them while they’re young, so they can be my good little slaves…. I mean, helpers.
Love those bright baby blues!
Caroline was upset at me for washing her blankie, so I had to photograph the sweet reunion they had after the difficult time of separation.
We had 2nd cousins Jessica & Katelin sleep over a couple weeks ago. They are such fun & energetic girls, yet also very obedient and well-behaved. It was fun to have them over even though Chase and Katelin kept each other up till 10pm, just chatting away. My kids were so excited because right before the girls came over to spend the night, we went and picked out some gummy candy at the store to share with our guests.
I love this succession of photos that Pace took of Chase pushing Caroline around (and how she’s oblivious to how much strain this activity is putting on Chase):

Daddy-Daughter Time
When I was looking through our recent photos, I realized that I had taken a lot of Pace and the little girls together. I guess it’s because I don’t think there is anything in this world sweeter than a good daddy spending time with his little girl(s).

Park Day with SuperDad
Pace took Chase, Charlotte, & two of their friends to play at a park a couple Saturdays ago. Pace is such a great dad who does fun things with his kids, for which we’re all grateful!
Here’s Chase with his good friend, Jeffrey. They’re pretty cool guys.
This is Charlotte’s good friend Mollie, who looks a lot like Charlotte.
A quaint little tea party atop the playground—how delightful!

The Queen of Hearts
Charlotte is really into hearts lately. She draws a heart on the iPad, and then asks me to take a picture of her with it. She is already planning on a “Valentine’s Birthday Party” when she turns five in December!
This was a Valentine that she made for her friend Cohen who is obsessed with green.
An angelic heart (with a halo).
It was in the last few minutes before church, when we were (and always are) scurrying around, when Chase decided to put on an Old Man cap of Pace’s to complete his church outfit. We started cracking up! It was perfect. Pace took Chase outside to take a few pictures. I wish he had some suspenders, too!
Pace was putting away the camera, when Charlotte asked quietly, “Will you please take a pic-shuh of me too, Daddy?” She enjoys having her picture taken lately, and I guess she was feeling a little left out. Funny kids!
Chase quizzing Caroline about what she can say
Just wanted to share these awesome moments. They grow up so fast!
