Comparison - easier than I thought

So I guess it's easier than I thought to tell the three apart. I didn't have a naked shot of Mason (what kind of mother am I?) so I found 3 close-ups. You can definitely tell they are related but it's obvious to me who's who.

Official Promotion for Heidi

Well - sort of. June 4th was my last day of work at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and now I am a full-time stay at home mom! It'll require a rework of our budget, but I am looking forward to the summer with the kids.

Here is a picture of my Wheaton friends at my goodbye lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. They are the greatest group of people to work with and I am going to miss seeing them on a regular basis. Hopefully, we will be able to keep in touch, though, as I have with former Manpower friends.


Here are some pictures of the fun the kids and I are having so far...


We got this jumper from a friend - Molly loves it and is finally getting the hang of jumping in it instead of just spinning herself around.

My dad has been spending quite a bit of time with us - Molly just lights up when he comes around.


I love this picture of Molly - I have pictures like this for Mason and Megan, too. I will try to find them and post them with this one and see if you can tell the difference.


The three "M"usketeers!



Messy Molly...



This activity gym was also given to us by a friend (same one as the jumper) and Molly sits at it daily. You'd think with 3 kids I would have had one of these but I didn't.


Mason never wants to give me a serious smile so I frequently have to bargain with him - if he gives me a good smile, I'll let him take a silly/action shot.

Megan has taken to climbing in Molly's crib with her and either laying with her or reading books to her. What is funny about this is that Megan herself has a crib but she has yet to climb in or out of it. (Shhhh...don't tell her that if she can scale Molly's she can probably scale her own!)

Well, we're keeping pretty busy. Certainly not as much down time as one would think when you're unemployed but fun, none the less. More photos to come...I've got 3 months worth waiting to post but thought I'd start out slow since it takes so long to upload pictures to blogger (anyone else have that problem? Suggestions?). Happy Summer!

Molly Ann at 6 months

My friend came over today to take some six month pictures of Molly (the same friend who did our family pictures and Molly's newborn pictures). Here is the smilebox she put together with a preview of them - just click PLAY...(you may want to close the window with our blog in it after you click play so you can hear the music from the smilebox, otherwise the music from our blog overrides it)
