Caroline turning 4!

Today Caroline turns 4-years-old and we have been celebrating! We had a mid-day party without her brothers, but with somewhere between 12-15 school, church and DS friends. We were thrilled that Caroline was able to blow out her candle! And boy, was she excited too! Here she is pictured with her school buddy, David. Also, one child's mother made this darling outfit for her--had to include that!

Just another crazy day...

Recently, I counseled someone about to watch my children, "don't turn your back on Caroline, she's a little tornado" and right behind her is Mary Elizabeth, learning all the tricks. Caroline does not let a little thing like counter height spoil an opportunity for good fun. She just pushes a chair over to where she wants to go and climbs right up! ME is quickly behind her. Recently, we've discovered the potential water fun at the kitchen sink. This is the picture that greeted Daddy one night as he came home from work. And where was mom? In the laundry room, of course!

Halloween 2009

Mary Elizabeth and Caroline were in the full spirit of Halloween this year! ME really mastered the word "candy." However, our boys were faced with a dilemna--trick or treating or the Vanderbilt football game which was conveniently scheduled for 7:00. It was a surprisingly tough call! And mom, being a somewhat lackluster Vanderbilt fan and a traditionalist, opted that there must be at least some trick or treating. So the compromise was trick or treating from six to seven and late arrival at the Vanderbilt game. Blaise and Ken Palombo went with our boys to a very cold, but mildly exciting game.
Also in this post, we have our annual Halloween-costume-Moore-family-cousins photo. You may notice that a few of the cousins are wearing pioneer apparel. This was in honor of the Little House on the Prairie musical that many of us attended that afternoon. It was a busy Saturday!
