Brielle was taking in the events of the evening in a relatively calm manner.
Here we have the eldest son giving thanks for his pizza in anticipation of getting his first bite!

Daddy, Brielle, and Christian are playing after returning from the Wolfgang Chocolate Factory Tour in York, PA. We all had a chance to sample some delicious chocolate.
Brielle is continuing the long KinderFrick pirate tradition (Avery and Christian both played with the hat and sword). Notice the shirt "Wild About Daddy" - Sounds accurate to me!!
Baby Brielle's message on her shirt is a practical application to my recent course work on theories of development. Emotional availability and nuturing are, as many of you know, key factors in the proper development of children so this serves as a practical application of my graduate studies!!

Christian is resting during "quiet time" (this is a part of the day when the boys either rest and/or read a book in order to relax after exuberant play).
Avery is reading a book on our bed during "quiet time" - he is not one for napping when there are things to do.
Baby Brielle is taking a break on the chair and sporting a lollipop outfit. She is typically all smiles (even when she is sick). We hope that joyous spirit stays with her as she continues to grow.
