More Visitors!!!

Things continue to go well around here. I am optimistic about tomorrow. It will be day one for me with all three children. Violette continues to sleep for pretty good stretches of 4 to 4 1/2 hours during the night. This keeps me from being dog tired during the day and should help me to be somewhat patient as tomorrow comes. Max and Noelle surprise us every day with their continued sweetness towards Little Miss V. Sometimes Max's kisses are a little too sweet, but he means well.
Aunt Ceecee left Friday, much to my disappointment. Noelle had been a little troublesome, and down right rude at times during her visit, but was also sad to see her go. Her help is greatly appreciated and we look forward to her next visit, soon rather than later. Saturday, Grandpa Roehrig and Aunt Liz came to visit and meet Violette. We all had an enjoyable time. Aunt Liz gave the children a few gifts, one being a sticker book for Noelle. We continue to find stickers planted throughout the house and frequently on our socks! Stickers and a three year old are the perfect match when the child is not yours! Thanks Liz. :)When they left, Saturday evening, Noelle was pretty upset and had a hard time saying goodbye. On the bright side Max learned to say "bye" and was proudly showing off his new word as Grandpa and Aunt Liz left.

Tom and I are amazed at the amount of words Max has added to his vocabulary these past couple of weeks. He isn't speaking full sentences, but each day more words are added. He seems very proud of himself when he does learn a new word. Violette is clearly referred to as "Vi", but his favorite word is "Dada", he is without a doubt a Daddy's Boy. Tom loves it and can't wait to teach him how to pitch over 90 mph! I'm sure Noelle and Violette will be right there along with Max learning as well!

I have not had a successful attempt (well to be honest, I have not attempted at all) of capturing all three children together. Actually, I haven't been taking many pictures, but here are a few. After more than two years with our camera I have figured out how to do black and white and sepia pictures.
