The Browny Bunch

One month and one day ago, Emma turned 6 months old.  (Time flies!)  She had just learned to sit up.  One of her new favorite spots to be was on a blanket surrounded by toys.  Here is a deluge of pictures that I took on her half birthday.  She is definitely one of the 5 cutest babies* of all time!




Those eyes!  Those cheeks!  Have you seen enough yet?  I haven't!  ;)

aka Brad!  (Yes, I'm still working on my catch-up posts.)

Kyle sat next to Brad while he opened his gifts.  He got black licorice,

a dutch oven,

tennis balls,

and some homemade cards.  This one was made by Chloe.


This one was made by Sarah.  It included some babysitting coupons.  (Yay!)

And then the boys, not to be outdone, ran into the kitchen and made some impromptu cards for Dad.  Here is Aaron telling about what he's drawn.

And Kyle doing the same.

Also not to be outdone, Chloe made another one too.

Sarah loves her dad!  (Blurry photo courtesy of Aaron.)

Emma loves her dad too, but she happened to be sitting with me that evening (and chewing on the camera case).

The girls had their piano recital at the end of June.  Sarah played Cristofori's Dream by David Lanz, which she now has memorized and Chloe played March by Shostakovich.  Here they are after the recital with their teacher.  We love her!
Another picture of the girls, this time with one of their friends.

Sarah had a solo in EPO's honor choir year end performance.  I tried a while ago to post a video of it, but it wasn't downloading.  Some of her Beehive class came to watch her sing.  Afterwards, we took the girls to McDonald's for some ice cream. 

They all chose the Rolo McFlurries and then ooohd and ahhhd over their caramel. Silly girls!

...almost two months ago.  But look!  I took pictures to prove it!
