Daycare Pictures - Ada
This is the first photo of Ada at daycare. Such a beauty, too.
Sitting up.
With Celeste. Looking at Celeste's shirt, I think daycare providers should get a dry cleaning allowance.
Smiling Ada.
Playing with her feet again. This is a common pose of hers ... she would seemingly always sit with feet up a bit.
Easter.
With her sister. As nice as Helena is to Ada, she can't help smothering her at times.
With the grandmas.

Helena Toenail Has Finally Fallen Off
Helena's toenail a couple of days before it fell off. It finally fell off in the pool at Bryant Square Park. Its whereabouts is unknown. She was a little upset that she couldn't find it because I told her that the toenail fairy would have come and left a peanut-butter sandwich under her pillow.
What it looks like now.
My cute daughter.
My other daughter (sigh)
Ada finally is sleeping in her crib.
Liam is turning into an artist. He can write his name now as well.

Portraits
I was going to take portraits of the kids for the wall in the entrance to our house but it didn't go well. I accidentally deleted Helena's pictures, and Ada wouldn't cooperate.

Some of the Latest Photos with Helena's Camera
This is the Chinese Zodiac as done by Helena.
Mommy doing something.
Dad and Ada.
Liam's goofy face.
A rare moment when Liam is just being cute. Yes, I took him to get a haircut.
Ada the Tormentor.
What Ada will look like if she smokes cigars.

Recent Pictures
Helena takes good care of Ada, and Ada loves Helena. We have to keep Liam from Ada quite a bit.
Helena in one of her cute moments. Her hero is Pippi Longstocking. When she gets mad at us, she'll tell us she was like Pippi and wouldn't have to have parents. That's my kid!
Liam is pretty shy of the camera, but often poses with Helena, who he looks up to.
Helena likes being outside. Here she is taking it upon herself to shovel.
Here is Liam after another daycare accident. Max threw a truck at him.
Ada has learned to sit up. She has to have a pillow behind her, but she can usually sit by herself for awhile. Now she is getting used to being on her stomach. Crawling isn't too far away.
A portrait of Ada.
Helena wearing a hat that she had when she was about Ada's age, but fits better at 5 years.
Gravity defying snow.
Car caught in a snowdrift.

Sickness
Daycare calls Dalen, who calls me, and tells me that Helena is sick. It is a Friday and the secretary can't find a substitute. So I go get Helena during lunch and go back to school to find people to finish my day for me. While sitting at my desk playing PBS Kids, she pukes all over my desk with 34 teenagers in the room.
Well, it is easier to get the secretary to find me a sub once a kid throws up in class, so I get to go home. By Saturday, all three kids are sick.

Ada
Most people say that both Helena and Liam look like me. But they say that Ada looks like Dalen.
I agree.

Artwork
Helena after painting her horse that she got as a gift.
She's proud of it.
Maestro!
Ada's vocal arts. Sounds a little like Yoko Ono.
Helena's Play-doh sculpture.
Once again, pretty proud of it.
Puzzle makers.
Helena got a little mad at Liam because she didn't want Liam in the picture. Poor Liam.

Christmas 2006
The calm before the storm. Singlehandedly, we've kept America's economy moving forward.
And they're off!
Decisions, decisions.
Oooo! Trains.
Liam, what did you get? Good boy!
Helena liked her comfy pants.
Just like his father, Liam wonders why people get slippers.
The onlookers.
More of them.
Helena's "favorite present".
Ada gets in on the action.
And begins to eat her gifts.
Aaron with Ada.
Liam takes a break from opening presents to play with his favorite new toy. Aaron 1, Santa 0.
