Susie-Q&A

• Sep. 25, 2008 - Morning Doings

Here we are, first thing in the morning.  We've already made a mess of the living room, and we're not much to look at, pre-grooming, but if you forgive those minor transgressions of good taste, you get baby pictures.  Good trade-off, no?

Mopsy prompted me to retrieve the camera from its toddler-proof hiding place when she asked for a picture of her new foal.


Of course we didn't buy a real foal!  Her sisters picked this up for her at the toy store a couple of days ago.  Poor Mopsy was the only child that day with no spending money, and was feeling a bit left out.  I thought it was generous of the big girls.

The cat agreed to stand in the background, just to give our dear readers a sense of scale.

Proud owner of foal:


Here's a better picture of Neena, the old-lady cat.  She's going on twelve.


Oh...were you taking my picture?  Let me studiously ignore you while you snap another.  It's my better side anyway.


Oh noooooo!   Really, though, she's not the demonstrative type; her ear positioning says it all.


Heeere, kitteh, kitteh!  Mmmm.  Kitty fur + drool.


Yes, he can climb on the window seat now.  Never fear, though, he knows the way down is feets first.




I did it!


"He MADE me pick him up!"  Frequently heard from big sis.


He does too.  The minute she sits down, he beetles over to her as fast as his four appendages allow.  Then it's up on her lap before she can make her escape.



It's all vertical from there.


"Ha ha, I've got her now!  Up!  Up and walk me around!"



How he does love his sissy.



She's a sucker!

Meanwhile, cat reclaims sunny spot.


Baby-free.

Not a morning person:


Better, though blurrier:


This is what morning looks like in our house...children ensconced in blankets, lying on the living room floor:


There really is a child under here:


Neither of us morning persons, but we're trying:


Good morning, sunshine!

Thanks for sharing the photos. I loved seeing the kids. I can't believe baby is not a baby anymore.

Oh goody! My favorite kind of post--especially first thing in the morning, when I'm not much for reading :D. Your family is beautiful! I can not believe how tall your oldest is getting. Older sisters are so nice to have around aren't they? I'm certainly enjoying the one at our house.
Caroline enjoyed the pictures too. She asked many questions about each one. I think she thinks they are at our house!

Thanks for the generous supply of pictures! They are really very good but makes me a little sad that I'm not there with them.
Love,
Mom

Suzie, they are so beautiful! It is hard for me to realize how big everyone is getting. Chicken is so tall! My Josh is 5'8" now w/ a deep voice~! Yikes! They grow so quickly. I miss you all and wish I could see you. Hopefully, next time I'm up that way I'll have more time to visit. Love to you all!
