Lilly's Life

is a rough one. Okay, she's just really active, not scared, clumsy or all of the above. Her injuries in chronological order:

January 29, 2004: Born

January 8, 2005: Knocked out a tooth falling down 2 steps

April 29, 2005: Black eye after falling off the counter

November 17, 2005: Stitches after hitting forehead on a bench

December 2, 2005: Broke her left arm when she fell off the couch and hit the door

December 9, 2006: Broke her left foot after pulling a bench on top of it

These were the only 2 I could find with Lilly's cast barely in the picture.

November 22, 2008: Broke her leg after pulling the TV on top of her (broke the TV too)

Along with all the other little bumps and bruises I don't have pictures of. She was sad about her broken leg, but is much happier now that the cast is on and she's mobile again.

A Couple More

A couple more from the family photo shoot. It was great weather that day.

Can you believe it?

I know you love the "engagement"-type picture... It's for posterity.

My first new header and family pictures. Here are a couple of my favorites from our photo shoot. I just got the CD back today, and I'm a little excited.

My Mornings

This is what my mornings are like if I'm lucky. The 3 youngest drink their Ovaltine while I get breakfast and the 4 oldest ready for school. Then Brook helps James play the piano. Sorry about blurry Lilly. I'm working on steady shots.

Halloween- The Boys

Jay and James were landscapers

Jay Jr. (We better get used to it) was Batman. I never got a picture of him in his costume. I might make him dress up again since there's no makeup involved.

I forgot to mention that Janna had a haircut. You can see her short hair in her Halloween picture.

Halloween- The Girls

Brook- A Princess

Lilly- A Princess

Janna- A Drama Witch

Emma- A Pirate

Abbey- A Chearleader

Can you tell I let them do their own makeup?
