Halloween 2009

Zev took this picture of his mom

Batgirl and Batman!!!

And the Joker!

Baby Chicken spent the evening in her swing, asleep

Yummy cookies. Better than candy...

Our pumpkin with the pumpkins...

Spooktacular.

Fun times

Vivi is 10 weeks old, and she finally tries a bottle. She likes it! She even takes it from sister and brother.

Tali holds Vivi so Mom can do the dishes. What a helper!

Vivi's favorite time is naked time!

There are no child labor laws at 957 Lakeside Drive!

Zev and Daddy and a train set up

Various cute pics of the gang

Zev and his friend Ethan, the cool dudes...

Violet and Vivi think the boys are funny...

Watching a little football

Finally, Miss Tali!!!

Sweet Sisters...

Vivi is two months old! Soon we will need a separate carseat for those cheeks!!!

Zev is thrilled after his dad's race

Cute little bear...

H1N1 comes to Lakeside Drive

We've had some hard times here at home. Miss Tali had the dreaded swine flu (as did her daddy, although he's not as cute in "I'm sick" photos). Zevvy had a bad cold, and Mommy and Vivi were just groovy...(although Vivi did manage to spike a temp one night, and when Rachel called the night nurse Vivi coughed dramatically). Never a dull moment here.

Camped out in front of the TV (notice box of tissues in background).

Seriously, I asked him if he wanted to go to his bed, but he preferred to sleep on the floor.

The girls--all sacked out (Vivi in pram)

Baby Vivi says, "Can you believe it?!?!"

Quiz of the day: Zev or Vivi

Guess who???

1.

2.

1. Zev 2. Vivi (can't you tell by the righteous indignation on her face at having to wear her brother's ensemble? still, those cowboy boots are kickin')

Vivi's typical evening--snoozing in the bjorn.

Tali helps her baby sister at bathtime...

Vivi is generous enough to share her bouncy seat with big brother...
