Whoever wins, I'll make you something, which reminds me. I still owe some people some homemade stuff from that blog post years ago. Chamaine and Krissy for sure and I think Honor maybe. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the post. The answers are now in the comments.

Which one?
Here is a test to see how well you really know my girls by their baby photos. And a look at how they all 3 truly looked alike at about 3 months. So you get to guess which baby is which. In your comment write the number and which girl, Jane, Alice, or Kate. Good luck.

The rest of the visit from Grandma and Papa Terry
Here are just a few more photos of Grandma and Papa Terry's visit. After working hard for 2 weeks in the house on the bookcase and bunkbed stairs, we figured we get out and see some of the sights. Our first stops were on Friday afternoon to Old Town and then to Downtown Disney.
Alice and Jane meeting a ferret for the first time at Old Town in Orlando. I had never been to Old Town, but it's pretty cool and pretty dead during the day. It's more of a night life permanent carnival.
Jane and I enjoying the little roller coaster.
Jane on the bikes. We were the only ones on the rides.
At Downtown Disney
They must always take a picture with Aurora and Cinderella
We added a photo op with Winnie, Tigger, and Piglet too
They also took a ride on the train
Jane and Mr. Potato Head. I love her pose with her hand on her hip.
Alice giving Mickey a hug
They had performers as statues outside the House of Blues. Alice actually went up to her and the statue bent down and held her hand. It was too cute. Some lady in the crowd said, "That kid's gonna have nightmares forever." It was Alice's idea to go see her, not ours.
Saturday we headed to Fort Christmas. It was a Fort built during the Seminole Indian wars. The fort was started on Christmas day, so the whole town is named Christmas, Florida. There were a bunch of old Florida homes. It was free and pretty neat. The highlight for the girls was the park.
Kate blowing bubbles.
Alice on the playground
Papa and Grandma Terry with baby Kate in her blessing dress.
We tried to get her to smile. She only smiled a couple of times and after about 20 pictures, was done.
Kate's 2 month stats are weight: 13 lbs 9 oz 97%
height: 23 3/4 inches 90%
She's getting big!
And she's done!
And here is the not quite finished (still needs a few more book shelves, crown moulding, and a window seat cushion) work of art that Kevin and his dad built while Bob was here. I am so grateful for such talented family members! And I am so excited to decorate!!!! And thank you to Valene also for painting most of it.
So as you can see I have moveable shelves on the sides, with 2 cabinets underneath. And then under the window there is a box and 2 cubbies. I love it!!!!! I will also replace the vertical blinds with something else. Still debating! (For a before shot, go to the blog post before this one with the Christmas cards. It's not great, but it shows you a little of how the room looked). I'll see if I can find a better one for you.
Thanks again Bob and Valene for coming to visit. We had a wonderful time with you! Come again soon. We love you!

Disney and more...
I'll comment tomorrow. But if you look at these before then, enjoy the pictures! We had fun taking them!!!!
Ok, it's tomorrow! Kevin discovered he could fit in the play tube the kids got for Christmas. They now all have fun climbing into it and walking around the house. Jane and Alice run into walls occasionally, but it's pretty funny!
I love Alice's smile
Little precious sleeping Kate
I uploaded my pictures from Picassa this time and for some reason they are out of order and it frustrates me too much to try and move them around within blogger, so sorry about that.
We set up a dinner with Cinderella and her friends, but we had to wait a while for our reservation. At the Grand Floridian Hotel they have these cute little chairs to sit on while you watch old Disney cartoons. Jane and Alice love them.
I was excited to document that Kate's hair was long enough to hold a bow!
This year we spent 2 nights at Disney for the 1/2 marathon. Thursday afternoon we headed over to the Wide World of Sports to pick up the girls race packets and also Kevin's. Jane bought a fun headband.
Kevin showing off his mad hula hoop skills!
At the Cinderella dinner Alice used her fingers to sample the ice cream.
Up until Cinderella showed up, Alice wasn't too thrilled to take pictures. Jane wouldn't take pictures either, but as soon as Cinderella came to our table they both lit up with excitement. It was worth the wait and the money spent to see how happy they both were to meet Cinderella. So sweet.
Jane told me I got to take a picture with Prince Charming
Drisella, Jane, and Kevin
Cinderella's Step-Mother telling Alice to use a spoon, not her finger in the ice cream
Alice and I enjoying the ice cream (with our spoons)
Anastasia, Kate, and I
Friday morning the girls got to run in their own races this year. Alice wasn't so thrilled about it. She wouldn't even let me pin her number on her, so I had to wear it. Then I carried her for most of the way.
Jane however was super excited and wouldn't let me stand with her. She is a big girl now!
This little boy had given up and stopped running, but then Mom pulled out the binky and he started to move again. Talk about being prepared!
Me carrying Alice across the finish line
Me dragging Alice for a little bit of the race
We stayed at Disney's All Star Resorts. They have such fun statues all around the grounds.
Despite the chilly, windy weather, Kevin, Jane, and Alice jumped in the Fantasia inspired pool.
Jane sporting her Mickey Medal. Great race, Jane!!!
Jane running like a pro
Kevin and I were both busy and Kate started crying. I watched Alice walk over toward her and asked Kevin if he was monitoring the situation. Kate stopped crying and he said, "Either she is helping, or it went horribly wrong." When we looked at her, Alice was holding Kate's hand and she had fallen back to sleep. It was too sweet. Such a good big sister, Alice!
Before the race (4am) The girls are not too thrilled.
Kevin headed toward the finish line. Great job Kevin! He finished in about 2 hours and 22 minutes. Not too shabby.
Luckily my mom was able to come and help me out. She spent the night with us on Friday night and even slept at the foot of Jane and Alice's bed because they were already asleep when she showed up. Thank you so much Mom for coming and helping me with the girls and cheering Kevin on! You're awesome.
Some more fun Hotel moments
Alice is kicking and pushing Jane out of this picture. Fun times.
Alice pouting about something
Mom and I
Baby Kate in her new outfit
Kevin trying to get the girls to point at Woody. Jane is pouting and Alice doesn't want to do it either.
Peek-a-boo
Another little boy joined in their fun. I love these pictures.
Kate's first smile caught on camera
My Christmas card display this year.
Sleeping beauties
Alice looking oh so good.
Jane and Sophia at the zoo. Lisa met up with us at the zoo one day and the girls had a blast.
Feeding the giraffe, Rafiki
Jane and Kate. Kate looks just like Jane did as a baby. It's kind of crazy.
Another race. We all participated in the Harris Family Fun Run 5k. I walked and got my slowest time this year. It probably had something to do with just having a baby!!!
Alice agreed to get down out of Kevin's arms and at least walk across the finish line. And yes, we do wash that dress!
Alice and Jane enjoying computer time at the library
Kate's blessing day. Kevin's parents were in town for it too, but I don't think we got a picture with them. We'll have to fix that.
Mom, Dad, and Kate
Valene and Kate
Bob and Kate
Bathing beauties with crazy hair
Last night we celebrated Bob's 61st birthday. Happy Birthday!
The plate face girls (crazy kids)
I looked over and saw Alice eating her cake with the ice cream scoop. She cracks me up.
I think she is actually picking her nose behind that plate, so good thing the plate is there!
We've been having tons of fun. Bob and Valene have been here for a week and a half and have been working hard. I asked Bob while he was here if he could build me wall to wall bookshelves in my den and a window seat. They look amazing and I am so grateful to him, Kevin, and Valene for all their hard work. I will post pictures soon. I love it already and am excited to decorate!!!!
Oh, amidst all the fun pictures, I had a birthday and a baby shower for Kate, but alas didn't take any pictures of either. Such a slacker. Kevin got me ABBA karaoke music for my birthday! Love it!!!! And thanks to all the ladies who attended the shower and for all the wonderful gifts.
