Looking Cool

Say Hey Blogtrotters,
Here we are in February. The girls are doing great, except for fits of unstoppable coughing in the middle of the night that don't seem to bother them or make them grumpy the next morning. Also Ellie has been enjoying talking in a annoying baby voice lately and when you tell her to stop she just says "I'm not talking like a baby, I'm talking like a boy." Perhaps there is little difference between the two in her world. Other than those complaints, things are great.
pics: The first pic is of these awesome capes Abby made for the ladies, Tilly is a snow superhero and Ellie is an elephant superhero (I leave it to you to imagine what their powers might be, it was not made clear to me), El in the brown hat and Tilly in the vest and scarf (it was the only truly cold day this winter). T is sitting next to baby Andrew(friend and neighbor) and El is opposite them. El in yellow Pluto shirt and Till in the Cookie Monster one. Tilly is doing a snow angel on the floor by the way. I told you it has been a mild winter. Then in the last two we are "dressed fancy" and "acting cool" although I assure you both descriptions would send Marrium Webster to an early grave. The videos are of the girls discovering the greatness of mirrors.

Ellie is in green and Tilly is in the blue shirt.

Catching up

Say Hey Blogtrotters,

Sorry for the Nov to Jan. break in the blog, I know you've been missing it. The girls are doing great. They had a fabulous break in San Antonio with my family, they're loving school and growing up fast. They seem to have inherited the "goofy" gene from their paternal side, honestly I had been worried because it only ever skips 1 generation and since it skipped me I was pretty sure they would be irredeemable goofballs. Oh, well, they also got my devilish good looks and everything in life is a trade-off.
In the pics: the first two are both Ellie and Tilly is on the pony. Ellie was the self-proclaimed "Goat Girl" while Tilly rode the pony (still pronounced "poi-ny") that sums them up right there. Ellie is licking the icing spoon and Tilly has her doll in her kimono. Oh, who's that rocking the rake in the annual leaf-a-poloza concert? How did such a sweet photo make it into a children's blog? The girls are later pulling cruncle Chris on Rollerblades, it was as bout as safe as it looks. Then that's Tilly in the circle and later all tuckered out. I think that is Till handing and I think it is Ellie with the super close up but Abby will say it is Tillly and she'll probably be right. Look for some winter garden pics comng soon.

It is fall, the leaves are falling everywhere

That means it's FALL! Say Hey Super Blog Reading People,

Along with the beautiful weather, the ladies have been great little guys. Here's the low down: the girls wanted to wash the car, a really good idea I know, Elinor is the first one and Tilly is the fanciest little car wash girl I've ever seen. Ellie is the fireman and Tilly is Angelina ballerina, a British dancing mouse. Sometime people ask me if they're different. Eisely, Beck and Brandt in some order. In the later pics Tilly is in pink (really?) and Ellie in yellow. Our garden is doing great, we've got tons of tomatoes, 8 or so gourds and 3 pumpkins. The gourds and pumpkins are about a month away, so let's hope we don't get anymore low temps. The almost freeze we got last week blackened many leaves. Enjoy. Oh, and yes I made the fire engine Ellie is wearing. It was awesome. (and Abby did make the mouse costume and fire jacket)

Planes and Soccer

Say Hey Blogtrotters,

Here we are in late September and heading toward October. The girls have started playing soccer. 3 year olds playing soccer is pretty awesome. The practices are really better than the games, i think. They really like it and it's hilarious. In these pictures we're at the Frontiers of Flight museum right next to Love Field. Tilly of course is in the piggy tails and wearing blue, Ellie in orangy pink. In the bubble pics Ellie is first and Tilly is reaching up. Tilly is playing with the tools. Oh, and the "Beware of Blast" is the blasting end of a jet. Duh, beware of blast, it's not rocket science! Oh, wait.
