October

I did a little photo shoot with these pretty leaves and flowers that I put in Addison and Caroline's hair.  I am lucky that they put up with me when I try to take pictures like these :)

Caroline

Caroline really wanted to take a picture with this truck

Addison

One of many silly faces from Addison.  She is our silly face girl.

We started solids with Renee about a week after she turned 4 months.  She did a pretty good job and seemed to enjoy the new experience.

This is my dad's "Annie" wig

Addison really wanted to try it on and loved wearing it.  She looked so cute and silly.  Ha!

Of course, I had to try it on Renee.  So cute!  Curly hair looks good on her :)

I was walking around with Renee in the baby Bjorn and Addison really wanted to do the same thing with her tiger.  Since we have 2 of most baby things that was no problem.  Me with my baby and Addison with hers :)

Halloween!

Addison decorating cookies at school.  She was Ariel from The Little Mermaid

Decorating cookies.  Caroline was Tinkerbell.

Renee was a Bears cheerleader

Here is where the pictures started to go downhill.

I knew we were done after this one :)

Trick-or-Treating with Lucia, the Garden Gnome.  By this time, we had moved into our new place so it was nice to take advantage of Halloween to go around our neighborhood and introduce ourselves to our new neighbors. 

The Rest of Setpember

In an effort to catch up quickly I will just have the rest of the month of September in one post:

Making Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.  Addison and Caroline love helping me in the kitchen these days.

Renee and daddy

One of the many insects that made it into our bug jar this summer/fall.

Scott took the older girls to the Morton Arboretum with his mom.  They had a great time exploring and learning!

We went to The Village of Northbrook to sort through my grandparents pictures.  It was a great day of reminiscing and some fun pool time in the middle.

Renee and Naomi

Daddy and Caroline

They have been working on  swimming and are slowly getting warmed up to the idea of letting the floaties do their job without holding onto us.  Here Scott is working with Caroline.

Addison

Renee occasionally sucks her thumb.   What she mostly does is this great soothing thing where she holds her arm up close to her mouth and starts sucking but does not really make contact.  I will take it!  No pacifier or thumb sucking habit to break :)

Gwen, Addison and Caroline all having fun with the cart.

The Wallgren family tried out for the TV game show Family Feud.  The got an instant call back but that it where the dream ended.  Oh well.  They said that just the tryouts were a fun experience.

Meanwhile, Scott and I babysat all the kids.

The bigger girls having a tea party
