He's All Pooped Out

Here is my beautiful boy asleep on his bed.  This is a very rare thing these days.  His GI track is all messed up and the doctor saw to it that he received four shots and a finger prick to top it off.  Our days have been something like this....
change diaper
play for 10 minutes
whine for 5 minutes
change diaper again
snuggle for 10 minutes
play for 15 minutes
snack while playing
change diaper again....
on and on it goes all day.

I'm tired.

Decorating

We rolled, baked and painted the salt dough ornaments.

We painted our annual Photo ornaments.

We've paper chained and ribboned the tree.

We are ready for the baking!

Holiday Confusion

The Christmas Dresses Arrived From Grandma Peggy.

We love them for lots of reasons.

 

Have a Spooky Little Christmas! 

We love you all.

Night Shift

Anne: Daddy, wake up.
Edwin: I am awake.
Anne: Your mouth is awake. Your eyes not awake.

Dinner Etiquette

Anne took this picture of her sister this week.  Anne is a budding photographer. 

 I'm amazed by how many pictures that kid can frame. 

Grace turned five this week.  We have some pretty good pictures to post another day...when the camera is found. 

The other night at the table we listened to an interesting conversation between sisters.
Grace: Anne when I'm old enough and go to school, will you do me a big favor?
Anne: Yes, Grace.  What is it?
Grace: Will you play with all my toys?  I need you to play with all my new birthday toys.
Anne: (nonchalantly replies) Sure Grace.  I will play with your toys.
Grace: Oh and will you please be a good help for mom and do what she asks?  That will be a good thing to do.
Anne: Okay, Grace.  I can do that when you go to school.
