"Formal" Family Photos

This is as "formal" as we get.  

I'm not sure why my friend, Katie Trenkle, agreed to take our photos again - but luckily she did!

Maybe she was enticed by Max's dimples as he said, "Hey, Wadies!"(hey, ladies!) while posing; or perhaps she enjoyed Ainsley's strangle hold on Max after Katie said, "Now, put your arm around your brother."

Thank you, Katie!

Sleep habits

My children have questionable sleep habits.  Ainsley will wear anything she likes to bed - a scarf, a coat, whatever.  In this case, a fleece ski hat.

And this joker likes to "defy us" by sleeping on the floor, on his chair, or under his bed.  I don't care what he does as long as he's not bothering me. 

"Let's do makeup, Max!"

"Max, I have a great idea!  How about you sit there & I put makeup on you!  Doesn't that sound like fun?"

Ainsley officially mastered the roll of the older sister.  She's able to get Max to do pretty much anything - it's quite amazing. 

Ainsley doesn't really understand that "eye shadow" isn't 

"eyebrow shadow."

Poor guy, he's such a willing participant. 

Ta da!  Isn't he gorgeous?
