Dentist

Karis and Lanie had their very first dentist visit a little bit ago. They were great! They had their teeth counted and some pictures taken. They were both a little nervous, but did well and afterwards Karis said, "Everybody loves the dentist, right?" Which is her way of saying that she likes the dentist. Although after paying the outrageous cost (with insurance), we won't be back until they are both 5 (not long for Karis). Apparently, even though they see the same dentist, once they are 5 the cost drops from $125 dollars to $15. Enough of that complaint from me. Check out the video of Lanie "practicing" for the dentist to come in and Karis sharing her nervousness.

Caprice

I took this picture of Capri playing the other day. And I just had to post it for you to see. She is such a sweet girl. So happy and loving. I love this picture of her!

Tubby Time

Well all three of our girls take their tubby together. It a joyous time for all. Capri thinks this is the best thing in the world. And the older girls are pretty cool with it all too. It has been a while since I had any pictures or video footage of this adorable time.

Picture of all three in the tub.

This first video is all three girls together. Complete with "potty" talk that my girls are so fond of right now...

This second video is of the two older girls floating in the tub.

New MiniVan

Well two months ago we bought our first minivan. We traded our Oldsmobile in for a 1997 Toyota Previa. It was very basic and very loud, but I must admit I loved it. It was so convenient and comfortable and the girls loved it too. Well, we have been seeing smoke come from our car quite often. And after having a car catch on fire, we are a little nervous about smoke coming from cars. Around the time we were about to tell our dealer friend he mentioned he had another minivan come in that he thought we should get. So today we traded in our old minivan for a 2002 Nissan Quest! And boy is it nice! Oh my goodness. I have never driven a car so nice and it is so quiet, so comfortable and our girls and I love it! Of course I had to include videos. (Have I mentioned that I love our new little video camera?)

Here is the short video of our old minivan:

Show and Tell

Yesterday Karis had her first experience with Show and Tell. She brought this little teddy bear that Grandpa Lambes gave her a couple of years ago when she visited him at his office. I have a video of her talking about it. Also in the video is a part of our bedtime routine. I have a song that I made up for each of the girls. Lanie every night wants me to sing to her "Oh Lanie, Lanie" and "I'll love you forever!" Karis usually wants me to sing Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, but sometimes she asks for "Karis, my Karis" After she talks about her bear, Lanie will sing her songs with me and then Karis her song with me. It is really a sweet time with the girls and I am so glad to get some of it on video. Hope you enjoy it too. (sorry you have to hear my voice singing too)

Ballet Class

Karis and Lanie had their first Ballet class today. Below are pictures and videos of my sweeties.

Here are a few pictures of them all dressed up.
