Are you smiling yet?

Who knows what spurred this picture on... a rainy day? especially fragrant plate glass? babysitter boredom? but it makes me laugh every single time I see it.

Ah, to be a kid again, where face-making is an act of daily life! I plan on getting this thing printed as big as I can get it and putting it up in my kitchen to keep me smiling no matter what.

I think it's quite clear how my blog got its name: these are the funny little people I live with!! They crack me up!

•••The Brinton Look•••

Apparently our kids seem to have a common "look" to them...

A few weeks ago our dear neighbors were babysitting Lizzy and they brought her with them to an art show. Jon's aunt also happened to be there. Upon seeing this random baby the aunt asked if she was a "Brinton baby" and our neighbor laughed and said "yes!" So I've compiled baby pictures of each kid at around the same age. Yeah, they do look quite alike. So much so, that sometimes we can't tell who we are looking at in a given picture. But here they are, three of each in order of age.

Yeah, they all must be related

Ballerinas

Our girls have started ballet! It's so fun to have them dress up in their dance clothes and dainty slippers. I'll add more pictures when I take them during their classes (hovering around the mommy-window while they try not to look at you while dancing).

Doll Stroller: A few months ago we put our newest addition in a doll stroller. Not a bad fit! This was Lizzy's first time outdoors for longer than a few seconds. She seemed to love it. Babies are sometimes the best toys.
