Homebodies

We hang out at home a lot more than we used to.  Getting out with five little ones is a little more challenging to say the least.  Add to that the traffic of going into a big city to do most things, as well as the intense heat of these Texas summers, a five month old who is finally taking great naps twice a day, and we are happy to hang out at home most of the time. 

Our big living room couch is where we spend most of our day when we're at home.  Lots of kisses and hugs happen on this couch.  Anna and Leah may be the most kissed and hugged little girls when it comes to brothers and sisters.  And Christopher especially likes to hold Anna.  She couldn't have asked for a more devoted big brother.

Gabe found a little lizard running around on the kitchen floor the other day.  I never know if the boys are going to run away from little critters or try to catch them and this time, Gabe chose the latter.  He carried the little lizard to me by its tail.  I let him hang out with it for a while before I felt bad for the lizard and had Gabe release it into the backyard.
