Random photos from November

Sisters - these two spent a LOT of time together during Bobbi's recovery.

Bobbi's birthday party - how fun that her physical therapist was able to stop through for a few minutes!

Singing over brownies

Krassi and two of our Bulgarian friends all chatting on the floor. Well, Krassi wasn't chatting, but I loved how they wanted to be down close with him.

Sister selfies

Schnebs

Eben's learning to roll over, and this one made me laugh where he randomly landed next to Krassimir!

Evania helped Dad process applesauce

Mira got a hair trim, and her curls have popped out again!

Eben helping Dad with applesauce, too.

Eben showing off his cute outfit from Opa.

Bobbi and Foozie

Hope Kids tickets to the final dress rehearsal of a children's theater production of Mary Poppins. Super much fun!

Eben, it turns out, loves live theater. I'd figured he'd nurse and then sleep through the whole thing. Not so much!! Once it started, he was enthralled.

Girls dressed up - this was Leah's first day with braces.

Owen sat in the row in front of us.

Eating Nutella on her waffle

Krassi and his awesome hair

Schnebs with some toys from Gloria

She still loves her brother. Sorry about Eb's face. But the look on Gloria's was too sweet to pass up!

This one is better of Eben.

Baking bread with my girls.

Field trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. We were looking for pieces that "matched" the kids in some way. Leah's bright sweater was great with this painting.

Here they decided to act like little balls...

And Evania's skirt was just like this lampshade

Leah, taking a pose

Rinnah, excited, since we're studying knights in history

Gloria loved this little chair which is so like the one we sit on at home

Owen was all about staging the shots. He's not really touching that thing!!

It was fun to see all of them enthralled by these tiles on our way out of the Museum

Eben getting ready to leave

I love this - two big kids in jeans and red shirts each piggy-backing a little sister in a pink coat.

Thanksgiving prep - Leah making apple pie

Reuben baking bread

Girls and grandma rolling rosette dinner rolls

And then, decorating the tree the next day! Reuben LOVES this.

Gloria was into it this year, too

Many helpers.

Mira's birthday - Leah, Rinnah, Evania, and Gloria, and their friend Hope put on a spa day for her

New shirt, new hair-do, lotion, nails, face paint - the works.

Love dat belly. And dose thighs!!!

Waiting during Bobbi's x-rays

Getting her new braces fitted now that the casts are off

Holding Eben as we wheel to our next appointment

All snuggled in with Batman on the first night.

Eben and Mom visited on the second day

We got to be part of her OT session and see her start working on bending her legs in a functional way.

AND, standing on those new legs!!!

Eben napped well...

Mira even came down to visit Bobbi after a rapidly scheduled appointment to address a bad disautonomic episode. Still, "sweet" of her to visit her sister!!

A new day, another snuggle.

Gloria and Evania came with me and Eben to visit Thursday morning. They liked the big giraffe in the Ronald McDonald room.

Bobbi eating and Eben napping

The three little girls who share a room decided that they would ALL share the full size bed, so we made it up with the sheets turned sideways to use the width as they're all short enough for it to work.
