Things Rosie wants to do when she goes to her friend's house.
Wanted to be in big church for a Sunday
This just seems to fit
Power goes out. Neighbor offers his generator to power anything we need. If you look closely, you can see what Lauren decided was most crucial...
Drewski crawling through the island
Great big brothers
Jason and his buddy at school-Jason was Albert Einstein.
Lunch with sweet Rose.
Some of Luke's work in Kindergarten
Luke is really generous with the money he earns. He bought this ball for Drew with his own money just because he knew he would like it.
Saturday morning TV
Uh oh
Sometimes I'm not sure how he even gets this up our steep driveway. Refuses help.
Rose still hanging on to her 4T Cheerios shirt
Wasn't easy, but made it through a dentist appt
Jr. Knights baskeball and cheer
Another day in the life of Luke
Helping with the laundry
Lauren doing full day online training. Does she have enough coffee (take a look at her desk)? Unlikely.
Always finding food
Train up a child...
These back and forth daily notes between Rosie and Lauren are the best
First thing he does when eating a PB sandwich...open it up and push it against his face.
Getting back from another great day at school--she always loves it.
Loves playing with the salad spinner
Luke and Eli getting a weekend with Granma and PopPop Bates
Drew really interested in the specifics of Hannah's activity chair
He was in his high chair. Left for 5 minutes while he was eating. Came back to the kitchen to find that he had crawled out of the high chair and up onto the kitchen counter. Living his best life.
Rose making it up the impossible carnival game (with some help from a friend)
Eli and Hannah got to spend some time with their birth parents for the first time in a while.
Seems to be collecting more and more things to sleep with.
First ever YouTube video from "The Belly Flop Boy". Rosie on the camera.
Rosie talking about a miracle in chapel.
Developing a new laugh
Loves flipping through books. Also likes actually feels the touch and feel books more than any of his siblings ever did.
First ever basket for Drewski!
Nothing like coming home to the soothing sounds of 6 children...
Another classic Luke performance.
Didn't like getting "shot" with the Nerf Gun
Luke toasting a night out..."Cheers to all a good night"
Had the camera turned around-he looks as entertained with himself as we are with him.
Think he got more on the floor than in his mouth.
Our little gymnast
Luke must have some of Papa Ross' genes in him--he likes talking about what he learns in art. Nothing like your 6 year old talking to you about Wassily Kandinsky.
100% Luke
Continuing a long tradition of Ross kids throwing balls at my phone
Jason knocking down a shot at Jr. Knights basketball
Luke's first ever bucket in a game...and it was a buzzer beater!
Jason really got going this day
I think his nap is over
Eli and Hannah having fun on the slides during their visit with their birth parents.
