The "Most Interesting Man in the World" meets the most interesting girls in the world! ;0)

Some wonderful family came to visit...

We absolutely loved seeing Aunt Bonnie, Aunt Sandy, and Aunt Evelyn on their last visit. You guys are the best- please come back again soon!

XOXOAly and the family

Last weekend Aunt Kat and Aunt Lizzy came to town. We had such a good visit...Kaylee really enjoyed herself as you can see below.Kat is a phenomenal (Vegan) chef. Seriously, yum. And as a bonus: my colon has never felt so clean! Thanks, Kat!

We went to a really great Vegan restaurant: Loving Hut. Kendall enjoyed coloring and the brown rice.

Kaylee had the biggest poo blowout ever while we were there. All of our colons felt cleaner after eating Vegan for a few days!

At Loving Hut which has locations worldwide! A great restaurant that happens to be Vegan.

Mission bay is always a fun place to enjoy the sunshine.

And Buca di Beppo for some Italian food!

Kendall always picks a winner.

Chris found it hard to be surrounded by some many beautiful women- just look at him!

Thanks for visiting, Kat & Liz! We love you!

4 months old!!

Kaylee is grasping things, giggling (she likes the word, "yes" as in, "yes, yes, YES!"), and just today she rolled from her back to her stomach and back again. I was like, "what???!" Girl is seriously going places.

Some things I love about her: her stubbly bald spot on the back of her head, her excited cough when I pick her up, her huge wide mouthed grin, her extra-long torso, and how she lets me take a 20 minute long shower in the mornings. Love ya, K!

Frida's Daughter

Kendall woke up from her nap the other day with an impression line between her eyebrows. She reminded me of the beautiful Frida Kahlo...or a caveman. I live for funny moments like this!

Sisters.

Oh, how I wish I had a sister when I was growing up! Kendall, Kaylee: I am so happy that you will have each other (and a brother as well!). Please don't gang up on me when you are teenagers! ; p

Yak. Ugh.

I haven't posted in a while- not that there aren't many cute pictures abounding...it's just...it doesn't seem right to go on about regular business for some reason. Even though I have 3 little ones depending on me. It seems odd to sweep so much human suffering under the rug and go about singing, playing, nursing, complaining about lack of sleep (!), etc., right now.

Kaylee is almost rolling over...she's so close that last night Chris couldn't stand it and gave her the little nudge she needed. That is so not like Chris. He is usually the one telling me to back off and let the kids figure things out for themselves. It was sweet to hear him talking to her in a soft little voice, "You did it!"

It continues to be quite an adjustment, mainly for me and mainly because some nights I barely sleep at all. But each day I just feel so joyous to have my 3 healthy, beautiful kids and my wonderful husband. I think the tragedies going on in the world tend to remind me how tomorrow is not promised to us, so appreciate each day you have.
