Hula Hoop Champ

Some old pictures (and videos!) of Anabelle showing off her champion hula hoop form at the Children's museum:


Look at that form!


What force!


Time for a quick water break!


And then it's right back to more hula hooping!!


"Wow, I'm good, but Mom is awesome!"

Cat Chase!

"Here, kitty kitty kitty!"


"He went thataway!"


"C'mon, everyone! We're never going to catch that cat if you don't follow my instructions and maintain formation!!"

Where's The Snow???

"What do you mean it's not winter yet? I've been waiting all year to wear my snow pants again!"


"Can I call them 'leaf pants' and go out and jump in a big pile of leaves?"

Flying Through the Air with the Greatest of Ease

Anabelle's Dinette

Anabelle's going to be so disappointed when they install the table in the dinette area tomorrow. Where will she serve her bears their alphabet porridge? Hopefully the bears like sitting at a table....

Cooldown / Storytime

"For some reason this book is making me hungry!"


"It's like this book was written about me! How did the author know all these details about my life?"

Who Let The Dogs Out?

"Coat... so shiny... must pet!"


"Do you want to lick my hand, Lucy?"


"No, no, my hand! Not my face AHHH MY FACE!!!!"


"Just kidding! Want to wrestle? I'll show you how I do a headlock!"


"Just kidding again! I'll just pet you gently back here."

Two Thirsty Toddlers

"Man, I'm working up quite a thirst with all of this silly dancing!"


"Yeah, now that you mention it, I'm pretty parched myself!"


"MMMM, juice!!!!"

A Young Audrey Hepburn

Taking a break between scenes.


"OK, time for another rehearsal of the big dance number!"

Bedtime Story Buddies

(Yes, I was too lazy to come up with cute captions. But the pictures themselves are so cute they really don't need any.)

All Aboard The Sophie Express!

"C'mon, Sophie! Faster! Faster!!"


"Don't make me use the whistle!"

The Princess and The Firefighter

"Uh, shouldn't I be driving since I'm the firefighter?"


"Whoa, slow down when you take those turns! If it hadn't been for this mysterious hand, I would have fallen over!"


"OK, if I can't drive, I at least get to make the fire engine noise!"


"What do you mean look behind me?"

Fun at the EFC Halloween Party

Anabelle had a lot of fun at her school's Halloween party tonight!


Admiring herself in the mirror.


Family portrait. (Sorry, Buni! It was the best one of the kids!)


Decorating cookies with Daddy.


Playing "Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin"



"There's something awfully familiar about your costume, Mary..."



Bowling for ghoulies!

Nifty Thrifty

"Mom, Dad, I know you're putting all your money into the kitchen remodel, so I can just wear last year's Halloween costume again this year."


"And look! I can use one of Will's blankets as a cape!"

Sunny Day, Sweepin' The Clouds Away

Today's episode was brought to you by the number "7" and by the letter "A".


That first pic was a little blurry, so here's better one of (almost) the whole family on the Sesame Street stoop.
