I guess Mommy was in a hurry or something on Tuesday, because she was rushing around the kitchen washing things and moving them around. She kept trying to get me to stay at the coffee table and color in my Nemo books, but I REALLY wanted to help and kept sneaking into the kitchen. Finally, though, I found something interesting to do. A tube of Desitin! What fun! I quietly took it over to the coffee table and had some fun. It appeared to Mommy that I was merely coloring and singing my songs, but she was wrong! Within just a couple of minutes I had covered most of my available skin with the gloriously creamy substance. I was mad when Mommy found me and wiped it off. It stung my eyes AND destroyed my look. At least I still smell strongly of the stuff.

Do you see that on Mowin's right cheek? Mommy says it's a DIMPLE. I don't think it's that special. Do you?

Mommy with Madeline Tofie.

Sometimes when Mommy is busy, Madeline Sophie gets a little bit lonely, so I go to keep her company. She likes it when I smile and laugh for her, and will watch me sing and dance. Here I am singing "I'm a little teapot" for her. You can see that she likes it.

Holding Baby Madeline and Baby Susan. Phew! So many babies to take care of!

I know it's been awhile

but we've been busy around here. You might have heard that Mommy had to have her gall bladder taken out. I don't know what a gall bladder is, and I'm a bit confused as I thought the only things that were supposed to come OUT of Mommy's tummy were babies, but now she has four little owies that I'm not supposed to touch EVER.

In addition, Mowin Tofie and I have a cold. Mine has given me very bad asthma problems and ear infections, so I have to take lots of sucky medicine and breathing medicine. Those make me VERY cranky, so I spend a lot of my day whining. In addition, *something* is giving me the runs, so my diapers have been very special lately.

When everyone's back to some semblance of normal, I'll try to put up some more pictures.

Such a girl

After my shower this morning, as Mommy was pulling a fresh clean dress over my head, I exclaimed, "Now I pretty!" Mommy chuckled a little, and I hastened to add, "SO pretty!"

Holy water! Mine, all mine!

Mommy, Daddy, Deacon Orr in the back, Father Philips with baby Madeline, and Nikki on the side. You can just see me in Daddy's arms clutching a bottle of holy water that Father gave me for safekeeping.

Getting ready for the big event. Mommy didn't trust Madelne to keep her dress clean all the way through Mass, so she had to change right there in church. Sorry, Madeline! I know that dress is itchy!

what you think about that?

I'm too Texan for my hat

I love holding my baby sister. She looks like she likes it too, don't you think?
