Bailey Family

Kaitlyn loves music! Natalie loves to climb! and climb some more... Carolyn splashing in puddles Seth splashing in puddles Some days are just too cold for anything but feet pajamas! Kaitlyn thinks the brown chair is hers - she even tries to muscle out Seth! Seth as Monster Robot Rob's new hat - he loves it. Isn't it cute? :) Natalie - my little squirt gets into anything small

(I made pizza dough and then Seth and Carolyn rolled out their own little pizzas, topped them, and then (after I cooked them), ate them. The babies each got 1/4 of one of the older kids' pizzas.

Poor ole granddaddy was mopping up vomit for about an hour last night. In the meantime, Grammy was on the pot making crap soup. And has whipped up many more servings since then.
