Where did the time go?

I can't believe how fast time goes by. Olivia is already two months old and the twins are 18 months old. YEAH! Life at our house has been interesting lately. My brother, Kyle, came out for a quick visit this last weekend. He came at the perfect time for us. Kyle arrived Friday night, and Saturday morning Adrienne had a high temp. and we decided to take her to the urgent care center. They did a rapid flu test and it came back positive for H1N1. Trevor needed to get her prescription filled and I had to work. Kyle stayed home with our sleeping girls and took care of Olivia while Trevor went out to get Adrienne's medicine. On Saturday Adrienne was wiped out. I have never seen a little girl be so still. Luckily, the medicine worked rather well. She now seems like she was never sick and is back to pestering Sofia and pulling Sofia and Tori's hair. Kyle had to leave on Sunday night, and unfortunately we didn't have time to do much. It was really nice just to spend time with him and to show Olivia off. My girls love Kyle because he does lots of fun things with them. He even let Tori use Halloween face paints to turn him into a tiger.

I am excited for Halloween to turn our girls into characters from The Cat in the Hat. After Diane sent us Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes, I decided that Tori needed to be the cat and Olivia needed to be the gold fish. I will post pictures some time after Halloween. I also like to buy my girls Halloween outfits. I don't know why, but I just think they are cute. Now of course, I need to post a bunch of random pictures for grandmas and others. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
This is the first picture that I took of only my girls. I didn't want to bore you with many pictures of this, but let's just say that this pose was short lasting.
Our good friends from Omaha stopped to visit us on their way down to Alabama. Tori and Jacob have lots and fun together and it was really fun to spend some time with them. We were also able to see their baby girl. We look forward to seeing them in Alabama sometime.
This is Kyle painted to be a tiger. Tori took a picture with her camera before Trevor took this one. Before Tori took her picture, she told Kyle, "Say roar." Trevor asked Kyle to say the same thing for this picture.
This is a very random picture, but I thought it was too cute. Trevor was practicing for a neurology exam using these tools on the girls, and Adrienne thought that she would try it as well.
Cute girls is their Halloween outfits. I was not able to get a really good picture of all 4.
Tori loves Olivia and can get big smiles from her.

Tori and Olivia sporting their Halloween cosutmes. Olivia looks like she is being swallowed by a fish.
I think that Olivia is my smiliest baby yet. I was thrilled to catch some of her smiles on camera today. Just so that you know, I know that the pink pants don't really go with the outfit. They are the only plain pants I had. If she doesn't wear the Halloween socks it doesn't look so bad.
