We love the “everyday pictures” Aunt Sarah captures and manages to make artistic… wish I had that talent! Most of the day, I’m consumed with the never-ending cycle of cooking/feeding/cleaning/playing/cleaning/dressing/chauffeuring/cleaning that I don’t stop to take pictures of us just hanging out. It’s nice to have those memories captured (and made a million times more cool) from someone on the outside looking in.
Floor time with Meredith. Back when these were taken, Meredith could only crawl a few steps forward, but now she’s all over the place and screams whenever we try to hold or contain her. She’s gone!
Post-gymnastics plasma car adventure. Their long legs make steering these cars a little awkward-looking, but they still love them.
Giggling Sammy.
Amelia loves to pick all the plants around the park (if anyone is wondering what happens to all the newly planted flowers… sorry!) and the girls create a “salad” out of them.
Checking out some coupons for Mom.
More close-ups of Meredith in the wild.
Laughing or crying?
Sammy in the laundry basket, Amelia crumpled on the floor and Meredith in the sea of blocks. Just a typical afternoon.
Fairy Amelia before her school Halloween party.
More chubbiness.
Typical family photo with only Jake and I paying any attention.
Triumph!
Meredith looks up to her big sisters.
The spinning ride of sorrow! Samantha and Amelia realized this ride was not their cup of tea.
Sammy alternated between scared, sad and angry.
Much more our style!
Showing sis the ropes.
Thanks for the Fall 2016 memories, Aunt Sarah!
