More of the Raab's

CJ found a box and jumped right on in. He also enjoys playing with oven mits, vacuum cleaners, brooms, plastic storage bins, hangers, and cardboard tubes. Who needs toys when you have all of that??!!
Caleb got to join in on the fun later in the week. As stated in an earlier blog, it's impossible to get a group of kids to all smile together.

Although we didn't watch Avery on this day, her family came over to play and help with the basement.
This picture is a bit outdated. The drywall is now up, ready to mud! We're almost there...

Uh-Oh

This is where we put the children when they misbehave!
Chance is trying to look rebellious with his mohawk. Don't even think about touching his bottle!
Looking guilty of something (:

Meet the newest employees for Ritter's Critters

Introducing to Ritter's Critters, Gabrielle and Catherine! They came to visit during their spring break, and loved being the new babysitters. They fed the kids, soothed them when they were upset, and simply played anything that was requested. Lots of fun was had!

Big Kids vs. The Little Guy



It's not easy capturing a photo with all three kids smiling and looking at the camera. I've tried MANY times! Here, it looks like Avery might be enjoying picking on Chance.
C.J. thinks it looks fun too, so joins in on bothering his little brother.
Chance told Avery that he is teething, so she wanted to check it out. She was able to give him pointers on managing the pain since she's going through it too.
Chance likes to show off his cute smile to Avery, when she's sharing her pink blankie, and not poking his head.
"Hey, I like that bib. Where'd ya get it?"
Reminds me of God Creates Adam painting by Michelangelo.

Planning Their Escape

Is C.J. - a.) smelling Avery's hair , b.) moving in for a kiss , or c.) secretly planning their breakout from Ritter's Critters?
Acting coy during their "meeting".
Avery, practicing her walking...
...to see just how fast she can get away from the big lady!
C.J. think's he's made it, but wait...
I found YOU!!!
