Zen and Inner Peace

Aunt Dawn is having a C-Section in the morning.  We want her to be relaxed and ready!  So...

 

I LOVE their fingers!

(I look a bit smirky- not peaceful and seriously- this is what Danny says is his ZEN)

(Claire's fingers win!  Perfect form)

Shelby is totally in a zen state.

Great breathing...

(Dawnie- notice the shirt- there is a message here!)

(Notice the difference in flexibility from his sisters...)

Another message... Peace out!  (He was so proud of himself.  He's trying not to smile.)

Good luck Dawn.  We love you.

What I said... What she thought I meant

Madi asked if she could put on some of my lipstick.  I said, "Yes, but only put it on the kissable parts."  (Meaning on lips ONLY...)

Apparently, any area under her nose is kissable!  She wears it well though, don't you think?

The Carrell Spa

We flew from North Carolina to Arizona and stayed overnight with Dawn and David (thanks guys!) and then flew another 6 hours to Hawaii.  The kids did well, but it was still a long, long way...

But then, I looked out and saw my little masseuses working on their dad and grandpa and suddenly everything was totally worth it.

The 3 year old and her brother

I saw these two sitting on the stairs one day and had to take a few photos.

(Look very closely here...)

I love them.

BREATHE! and Push pix

Aunt Jill and Uncle Ben just had a little baby (welcome to the world Miss Kaitlyn Liberty!) and we just felt like maybe we could help a little bit through the labor and delivery process.

Claire, Emery and Shelby demonstrate proper breathing techniques

AND...

 

PUSH!

So Jill had her baby au naturale- we're pretty sure that these pictures helped her through the tough spots.

Crazy Hair Day!

Highcroft Drive Elementary spirit week- the favorite day?-  The craziest of course!

My two favorites-  straight and curly (Shelby) and the girl with three pigs (Claire)- sorry you can't see the back.

Totally love these girls.
