Supa-Star!!!

After church today, we took the kids to the Creative Arts Guild Festival for some lunch and fun. Gracie and Mia had money to burn in their pockets, so they decided to get their faces painted. The face painting "artists" had a board with pictures of the various looks the kids could choose. Gracie quickly chose the "supa-star" look. Mia, of course, had to be just like her big sister and chose the same one. Here is a pic of my two little "Supa-Stars" and their baby bro. Somehow Henry now has glitter all over his face too!

In other big news at our house, Gracie lost her second tooth this morning before church. Her first words after pulling the tooth were "I'm not too far behind Luke now!" Can you tell she is a little competitive???

Bathtime babies . . .

Here are some cute pictures of the kids in the tub. Check out Henry's juicy bootie! He will love these pictures in a few years. Mia had to pose and get her picture taken like Henry. I guess Gracie has outgrown the need to do a photo shoot in her birthday suit. Aren't they cute???

Gracie lost a tooth!

Last Wednesday when I picked Gracie up from school, she was smiling kind of funny. She grins at me and one of her bottom teeth is laying forward. She bit into an apple at lunchtime, and there goes her loose tooth! Once we got home, she wiggled that little tooth some more and out it came. Gracie was beyond thrilled! Most of her friends and classmates have already lost some teeth, and Gracie was overjoyed to join the gang. And I was excited to play the tooth fairy!

After - doesn't she look proud!

Itty, bitty tooth!

Henry in the morning . . .

Bart is traveling for a week to the New York rug market and we miss him lots. And he misses his babies lots! He asked me the other day to take Henry's picture when he first wakes up and send him some shots. Going in to get Henry out of his crib in the morning is one of my favorite times of the day. And Bart is missing this little daily pleasure while he is out of town. Henry is so genuinely happy to see us - smiling up a storm and squealing with glee. He does a little happy dance every morning - it is great! I took my camera with me this morning to capture my sweet boy. Isn't he a ham?
