Professional shots, turning 5, 3, and 6 months!

Here you go--limited commentary, but a ton of pics!

This says a lot, doesn't it?

My little guy!
We're in trouble...






My photogenic little 5-year-old.
Camera ham!




No one works it like Rowan.
I've never seen 3 cuter kids.
Leo looks like he's prepping to fend off future boyfriends, good boy!





My favorite!
Enjoy:)

Swimming!

Kaylee and Rowan just completed their 3rd week of swimming class. They have gone from remedial/beginner to Kaylee: swimming for partial classes with no bubble and underwater, and today Rowan graduated form 3 bubbles to 2 bubbles.

They love it.
Check out Kaylee's grin.
My little ham.
Does anyone love the camera as much as this kid?

Kaylee practicing for underwater swimming.
At the start of lessons, Kaylee was afraid to get her face wet...not a problem anymore.
I am going to be sad when swimming ends at the end of next week.
Now that our camera is back from the repair shop, hopefully more pictures will be taken more frequently.

Leo is 6 months old!

Its official, he's 6 months old! I can hardly believe it. The whole sign thing is getting a little harder now...he wants to play with it.

Very serious.
There we go, almost legible.
Ahhh there we go.
Complete with teething nose.
More pics of the girls at swim class to follow soon!

Leo is 5 months old.

Nuff said.

June Wrap Up

Alright, the great-uncles paid us a visit. We all had a blast (I think.) Buddy is definitely a new favorite playmate, as is Chuck. The girls were somewhat less impressed with their canine companion though.

Chuck feeds the Lion Man.
Posed pictures, Chuck, Buddy & Lola with our gang.

A closer view, and everyone was looking at the camera. (You have no idea how many shots of this I snapped where someone wasn't looking or was looking, but wasn't looking very good!) Yay for rapid fire and lots of options.

Swinging on perhaps one of the most gorgeous days of the year, June 30th's weather was what makes me love New England.
Our first Fun Run of the season.
Kaylee did really well!
Kaylee & Rowan with their pal, Sumana.
And that pretty much brings us up to date!

Leo Takes His First Bites

Today we introduced Leo to Rice Cereal. He did really well...considering :)

He used his fingers to aid in swallowing, but for a first-timer, he is definitely in medal contention!

Kaylee's Last Day of Pre-K

I can't believe she's done with pre-school, but she is.

Next fall (although why they say school starts in fall when the first day is in AUGUST I have no idea) she's off to Kindergarten! Where did the time go?
Rowan needed to pose with the star of the day.
Kaylee received her pre-school diploma/certificate and her gymnastics trophy at the end of the events.
First her class sang us a concert of about 5 songs.
They were very off-key and very loud, just what 4 and 5 year-olds should be!
Then it was time to do the dance show!
This part was to Michael Jackson's "Thriller"...
They were all Zombies...
it was really funny, and cute (perhaps not your average zombie description.)
Runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Kaylee's balance and coordination has improved by a substantial margin since beginning her preschool with the gymnastics component.
And flips are a cinch.
Oh yeah, and yesterday was a milestone for the Lion man as well...his sign says it all.
Our patient little puppy endures some dress-up at the hands of her human big sisters.
Oh yeah, and his smile endorses his onesie's sentiment 100%.
That's more or less what happened for us this week.
