Estella LOVES the bracelets Granmama sent--they make a nice jangle and are so sparkly!

MOHAWKS!

As soon as Emerson got his mohawk, he said, "We have to send these pictures to Grandpa Rich!" Sorry we're late, Grandpa Rich! But here are the boys in their mohawks!

Estella gave herself a half mohawk and this morning, as I was putting gels in the boys' hair, she said, "I want a PRINCESS mohawk!" 

What Happens When Mom is Away!

I have to thank Peg for these Instagram photos of the kids. She took them while she and Wilma were babysitting yesterday. So *this* is what happens when Mom is away!

Emerson Lost His First Tooth!

Here he is, showing off the new gap!

Here's Estella--she had to show off her teeth, too.

And here's Harland, just looking handsome.
