Big Sister!

I am so behind in posting pictures of the kids, although I didn't realize how far behind I was until I noticed that I never posted any of Val! Val is one of my step-daughters (the younger of the two). She came out for a week last month and Leigha was in absolute HEAVEN having one of her big sisters to follow around. The last time she was here was Christmas of 2005, when the boys were 9 months old. Lots of changes!

Noah was trying to act cool in front of his sister.


Robert just heard the news that Val was leaving in the morning.


Adri hasn't been here since the week I went back to teaching. I returned to work within 6 weeks, but I took 4 weeks off when they were released. Adri came out the week I was back at work and my mom was in town to help out. All three boys were attached to 50 ft of tubing for oxygen. Things were crazy, to say the least. Needless to say, I think we scared Adri off for good. OK, in all seriousness, she couldn't get out of school and work. We hope that she will come down and visit soon!
