End of summer pictures

 Addy came up Labor Day weekend and the girls got to go to OMSI together. I took this picture of Tracey with both of the girls walking across the street because I thought it was cute with them all holding hands.

 Checking out the turtles at the reptile exhibit.

 Daphne loves turtles and when she saw them she said "hi turtle, it's me Daphne".

 Getting a turtle tattoo.

 Addy getting a snake tattoo.

 The long anticipated baby Norah has arrived! Daphne could not be more excited. After an initial breakdown when she couldn't pick her up and walk around with her she did great just sitting very still. I think that she was still for the longest that she has ever been in her life. She sat and held Norah for a half hour and sang her a few songs.

Where does the time go?

 Cost trip memorial weekend!

 Super excited to have Daddy paint her toes!

 We went down to Medford for a little visit and to go to Shannon's shower. Shannon's Dad made this great play house. It was a big hit.

 And when they got bored with playing in it they all colored it.

 Daphne loves Nana's piano (pian-yo).

 Had fun playing at Addy's house.

 Daphne and cousin Zack. They are only 3 months apart.

Cousins :)

 Daphne has been picking out some of her own outfits lately and sometimes they get a litte interesting.

 Dance party in the driveway. Sorry there are so many pictures but they help to get the full effect.

 At least we were just going to get donuts with this outfit. However a little boy couldn't stop laughing at her in the donut shop and his mom told Daphne that she loved her outfit.

Tulip Festival and more Spring!

 Don't be fooled by how much fun this slide looks...it was really bumpy. Owe!!

 Shannon (and baby Norah) and Daphne.

 Double glasses...cuz one pair is not enough.

 For Elton's 5th birthday we asked Daphne what we should get him. Her answer was a T-shirt. So Elton got to wear one of Nick's T-shirts for his birthday. He was a good sport. (He did get a bone and a new toy too.)

 What happens when it's Daddy's turn for bath time.

 Watching cartoons in the morning with Elton.

 Easter egg hunting.

 Taking a pause for a drink after all that running.

 Daphne's baby in swim class. (Or so she says as she puts her in her hair washing bucket)
