Visit with the Maculatis Family

While we were home we visited Vic at his parents house so they could meet the girls and see Ryan. When we got there, the Palandranis were also visiting!  Virginia cooked us brunch and Vinny and D'Lorenzo played with all the babies and Ryan!

Cute and Cozy

Lamonica Thanksgiving

On Friday we traveled to Sugarcreek to spend the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Lamonica's. Aunt Mandy, Uncle Tyson and Uncle Donald were there plus a visit from Aunt Helen and Uncle Al. Oh and we can't forget Ryan's favorite part...TD!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We went to Grandma Kym's on Thanksgiving Day and tried more than once to get all the kids together for a photo!  Here is probably the best one which is an indication of how bad the rest of them are!  I also didn't get many photos of Ryan because he was playing with Camry and Noah the entire time and barely stopped to eat!

Nap-time

We were playing on the Fisher Price website listening to the "Little People" sing and Ryan actually fell asleep sitting up watching it! It was a day that he had been at Lynda's where he won't take a nap...needless to say, he was exhausted.

Lovin Carrots

Just playing around with my camera!

  We have been trying different vegetables with the girls. Reese gets more on her bib than in her mouth!

Christmas Decorating

Ryan is "angry" at me here...not sure why though but that is he new thing...to be "angry" at people. It usually only lasts about 10 seconds then he starts laughing.

Scott and Ryan decorated the entire tree.  Ryan hung most of his ornaments on the bottom branches so we had to move them after he went to bed!  Eventually we would like to get real trees but with the girls starting to put everything in their mouths we are using this artificial one that was my great-grandmothers.

Baby White's Shower

My cousin Chase and his wife Kate are expecting their first baby in January and they recently had their shower. It was held at the fitness club that Chase manages which thankfully has a child-care room!  Ryan and Camryn played the entire 3 hours that we were there and besides fighting briefly over a basketball, they were perfect! The babies were passed around all night and got their first taste of  bananas from Aunt Ashley.

Reese eating 

Reagan deciding if she likes it or not! 

She definitely does!

Reese would rather chew on her bink.

This other little girl's name is also Reagan which really confused Ryan

Grandma Amy, Margaret holding Reese and her daughter Courtney with Charli.

Hokey Pokey

Scott was teaching Ryan the hokey-pokey but I couldn't get a picture of them dancing! But I thought this one was worth sharing anyway...he's so cute!!

Wednesdays

On Wednesday evenings Scott is in charge of all 3 kids while I attend RCIA.  He keeps them entertained for a while and then it is bedtime. Reese is watching TV and Reagan is enjoying the exersaucer. I assume Ryan was downstairs "zooming" his cars!

Daddy Time

Dinner Guest

The Palandrani's come over for dinnerat least once a week. It is usually pretty calm except for when our food is ready!  We do whatever we need to to get a peaceful meal!

Siblings

Trying to get at least one "perfect" shot....I think they are ALL PERFECT!!!

Cereal

We have started feeding Reese and Reagan rice cereal with dinner. They really enjoy what gets in their mouth and we really enjoy cleaning up the huge mess that is makes ;)

Shopping

Ashley and I decided that we could handle 5 kids under 3 years old on a shopping trip...but had to call Noah to help push a stroller and/or cart. We were expecting a hectic day but to our pleasant surprise, it was PERFECT! All the babies slept, Ryan and Camryn stayed in the carts (even through Toys R Us) and Noah was a huge help! They were even very well mannered for lunch at McDonald's!

,Ryan started at a new sitter named Lynda where he will go Monday-Wednesday (then to Genesis Thurs/Fri).  She also watches Carter, Maddie, Ty and one other infant named Olivia. Scott picked Ry up after work and he fell asleep on the way home and slept until Tuesday morning!  He had a great time playing with Lynda, her husband Doug and all the other kids.

Zanesville Trick-or-Treat

Sunday evening was Trick-or-treat in our neighborhood.  The Fitz and Palandrani Families came over to help pass out candy and stay for dinner afterwards. It looked like a daycare on our front porch and we got lots of compliments about how cute all 5 kids were!
