Holiday Afterglow

What a couple of weeks. Things have been a little nuts, as I am sure they may have been at your house. We were on the road for six days and then came home and got sick. So we are just finding our way back to normal.

While we were gone, we had a great time. The kids had a blast with all their grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles. The have not quite figured out that they get to open many presents. They get a little distracted as they go. So we tried to space it out.

Here is our attempt at a nice family picture. It cracks me up.

Then a couple of days after Christmas, we got a knock on the door at 8:30 at night. Here is was my sister Ruth. She stopped by with great news. She and Carl are getting married. We are super excited. It was a great way to end the holiday.

But we had a great time with everyone. Thanks for making our Christmas so much fun.

Merry Christmas

I just wanted to take some time out of the holiday to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas. Enjoy your family and all your blessings for God had given us so much.

As Caroline would say, it is almost Baby Jesus's Birthday. That means we need to have a party.

Merry Christmas!!!

Daddy's Girls

I have snapped a few pictures lately illustrating how much the girls love their Daddy. Both girls love to play with him, especially when he chses them. He could read them books all day long and they would be happy.

But I think the thing that they love the most is when he is sitting still and will hold them. Caroline and Grace love to cuddle and Daddy is a willing recipient.

They sure do love their Daddy (and Mom echoes that sentiment)!!

Gracie Too

You might be wondering who this super cute kid is. I have just noticed that I have been a little Caroline heavy lately. So I thought I would talk about Grace today.

My little baby is now talking like crazy and full of fun. She is all over the place. She laughs a lot and likes to cause a little mischief. She adores her sister and they really get along well.

Here are a couple of pictures so you can see her killer smile and beautiful blue eyes.

Icky Friday

Unfortunately, this relaxing Friday turned into a sick day for Caroline. The poor thing got the flu today.




I could tell she was really sick when she fell asleep while watching a movie 2 different times. But even when she is sick, she is really cute. Plus, it made her whole day to wake up to the cat on her legs.

It seems that we may be over the hump at this time (I hope). She took a shower at it seemed to have perked her up a great deal.

Winter Wonderlad

Caroline is loving the snow this year. As soon as it starts falling, she starts asking when she can go out. Tell me, how could your refuse someone who looks like they are enjoying something so much. I obviously do not know how ;-)
