Just hangin around

We really haven't done anything too exciting over the past week...and it's been great!! It takes a lot of preparing, planning and packing to load this gang up! So we just enjoyed the family time and here are a few photos taken during the week.

Reagan laughing at Ryan 

Ryan likes to go in after naps to greet the girls.  

Ryan giving his doggy a bath....scrubbing him with a candy bar!

Reagan  must have a sweet tooth like her mom!

Reese keeps kicking Reagan in the throat! 

Attack of my children!!!

We spent a lot of time crawling around on the floor and on each other!

Sleepy

Reese fights us to go to sleep at night so sometimes we just do whatever works!  Tonight when I came up from the shower, this is what I found! Good Work Daddy!

Trip to Sugarcreek

On Saturday we headed to Sugarcreek to spend the weekend with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Tyson and Aunt Mandy.  On Sunday we celebrated Aunt Mandy's pregnancy with a Baby Shower for Baby Veidt!!

Tyson's mom brings a book to Ryan everytime we get together! Ryan loves for her to read to him too! 

Tracy getting a workout! 

Rock-A-Bye

We try not to get into the habit of rocking the girls to sleep...but sometimes...I just can't help it!

Kids

Look closely...you can see the bruise on Reese's face from falling into the toy box :(

She is pulling herself up to everything!

Picnik Edits

I wanted to share these photos that one of my former students,Lauryn, edited.  She is a freshman at NL and the daughter of a mother and teacher that I admire very much!!  Lauryn also started a blog and takes unique pictures of random things that I would never think of ! Her link is below if you have some spare time, take a look!

PS, A pic of Ryan is next on my list to give her!

Gross!

Today Ry and Reagan were rolling around on the floor and she was playing with his head until.....she spit up on his forehead and in his hair!  Surprisingly he didn't flip out and throw her off of him like I was expecting!

1-16-11

We were trying to get a great, up-to-date photo of all three kids but now that the girls can move they do NOT want to sit still and Ryan is just tired of posing for the camera! Each picture has so much personality though!

Love Ry's smile! (and yes, he needs a haircut...Friday is family hair day at the Palandrani's)!

Crawlers

Reese and Reagan are on the move!  So much so that we have blocked the kitchen doorway with a 12 pack of pop and case of water and the hallway is blocked by a toybox. They are now pulling themselves up on those things and usually doesn't end good!  Reese has hit her head on the wall, floor vent and toybox. However, one of her favorite things to climb on is Ryan! He doesn't mind...actually he really likes the attention she gives him and will say "She loves me doesn't she mommy"!

Snowy Day

Scott surprised us and came home from work a couple hours early today so we bundled Ryan up to go out and make snow angels (since this snow didn't pack very well).

Playing with Picnik

I was introduced to picnik.com when I was coaching volleyball but never seem to have to time play around with it.  Well tonight all kids are in bed and I'm not tired so this is what I'm doing with my spare time. Probably not the best use of time but really fun! 

Monday Moments

This isn't just Mondays...it's how we spend most evenings. Just hanging out on the floor with toys surrounding us.  Ryan usually has no pants on and likes to play with the baby toys more than all his new ones!

This is how Ryan is going to keep the girls out of the kitchen!
