If a picture is worth a thousand words,...

then, here are about a zillion words for you. (I really can't believe a whole month plus has gone by without any pictures. On a positive note, school is going well, papers are getting corrected, dinner is getting made, dishes are getting washed, the kids are getting attention, the house is still a mess, ...)

Well, that gets us through the 21st of September. I don't have any other pictures ready to put on here. I'll try to get them on here soon. (I know you've heard that before, but I really will this time, I promise.) But, anyway, these pictures should be enough for a little while :) I also want to put on some more pictures of Tom and me as little people!!!

*Haven baby book addition: first tooth on my birthday--September 21; 2nd tooth one week later. She weighed in at 18 lbs and was 26 inches long on September 25--the size of an average 7 month old (she was 4 1/2 months). She rolled over for the first time on October 11--she went from back to tummy and then tummy to back within 15 minutes or so. (I think she's my latest one to roll over.) She loves to roll over to her tummy--she's a little wiggly thing now :) She's still the SWEETEST baby around :)
