Taking Care of Babies

Cookies!

Sadie is my baking partner. She asks almost every day if we can make cookies. It's hard to turn her down, even though I know there may be extra clean up involved. Maybe she'll help me bake and decorate cakes some day.

Dandelions and a Robin's Egg

It is just so much fun to be outside! Grandma Church took these cuties for a little walk while Zoie played with Autumn from Early Intervention. These girls were excited about their flowers. Then, later, we found this pretty little Robin's Egg. 

A Baby Swing!

I feel mighty accomplished! I, Joanne Gallaher, installed this lovely little baby swing. Playing outside is so much more fun for this little girl now. She loves to be in the swing, and now Mommy is able to play with the other kids too! Win, win!

The Squid

Oh this girl gets around! She has figured out how to army crawl. But that is not all. Oh no. When her army crawl isn't as effective as she would like, she flips over onto her back and pushes herself along with her feet. The best way to imagine this is to say that she is "doing the squid." She is awesome. I do happen to have videos of this amazing talent of Zoie's. Too bad videos take forever to upload onto the blog. It is truly fun to see! I love my little squid. 

Indianapolis Zoo

After Daddy's classes were over, we went and spent the day at the zoo. The boys were way excited to see a 4D showing of Angry Birds. Sadie was very excited about everything she saw. Especially the "chickens" and the sharks. (The kids even got to touch a shark!) Daddy carried Sadie around like a little princess. Zoie enjoyed herself too. It was a fun way to end our visit to Indianapolis. 

A Trip!

This trip is the start of many we will be taking with Kendall. He has signed up for several Fire Fighter courses. Most of the time, we will go along and stay at the hotels with him. The kids LOVE staying at hotels. Especially when there is a place to go swimming. And especially when it means they get to miss school. The boys are very good about getting their make-up work done so that we can spend the  time playing and having fun. This was an extra fun trip because Grandma and Grandpa Gallaher went too. We met up with them for dinner and fun at Chuck E Cheeses. The kids had never been! It was a blast! It wore them out.  :)
