Random pictures to catch you up

These were all taken between September 10 and October 5.

Charley's cheeks can't compare to Charlotte's. (This is actually Em, but that's not as fun to say.)

Emma, aka "Starfish".  We nicknamed her this because this is how she sleeps - all splayed out.  Adorable.

Em & Char in the fantastic umbrella stroller given to us by Paul & Simone (my aunt & uncle).
Despite what Char wants to tell you here, they LOVE going out in it because they can see EVERYTHING!
(Loveys awesome presents from Kirby & Ficker - thanks, ladies :)

When we were in New England, the Bierkos gave us some toys for the girls.
Here they are having a blast with the barnyard animal collection.  Thanks, Beth & Scott!

Sometimes all you need is a banana.

Lee & Rita gave the girls several grasping toys while we were at the beach, and this one has risen to the top
of the list of ALL their toys.  They are both seriously captivated (read: obsessed) with it!!

In my last few weeks of maternity leave, I got on a muffin-cooking kick.
Momma's little helper!
