White Stuff

We were lucky enough to have some white stuff fall from the sky for the first time this weekend. We loved rolling around in it, sliding on it, throwing it, and eating it.

Tidbits

Here we go again...another quick synopsis of what we've been up to.

G got chosen again for "Tornado Citizen" for the first quarter. We were able to have a surprise breakfast with him at school. Way to go, G!

There's never a dull moment at our house. The kids continue to find ways to amuse themselves. Here, they are following Baby B around the house on their hands and knees. I guess they are playing "follow the leader," with Baby B as the leader...

T had her last soccer game...another sigh of relief (did I say that out loud again?). We have a slight break until cheerleading starts for her, and b-ball starts for G, and gymnastics starts for M...

G and T had little Thanksgiving plays at school. It was fun to watch. M was the little fan.

G LOVES having a little brother. He's a great big brother. Baby B is growing so fast. Today, I found that he had climbed three stairs all by himself. He's waving to us now, is starting to put sounds together, and just makes the funniest faces. Such a character!



That's it for now...I guarantee that there will be more of these "tidbits" to come!

Three Already

Our Little M turned three last month. Life has gotten crazy and we are a little late in posting. We can't let our sweet M's birthday pass without sending a shout out to her. What a beautiful and sweet girl she is! M is always content with whatever situation is at hand. She has a peaceful demeaner about her. She is defintely our sensitive girl...look at her the wrong way and you will see the tears well up. However, being sensitive is not a bad thing...this has given her the ability to connect with people; it gives her compassion for others.

She has become quite the artist and singer. Should I admit that she can belt out quite a few Kids Bop and Hannah Montana songs? We love you, M...for your quiet and loving presence, for your gentle personality, and most of all, for being you!

Here's how we started her day:

Took some pictures of the birthday girl in the morning, while waiting for the cousins to arrive so we could babysit them...

Went to T's soccer game...

We then headed home and scrambled to get some last minute birthday things ready After that, we changed into church clothes to go to a baptism of G's good friend.

No nap today, which meant we were met with this on the way home from the baptism...

The birthday girl's party was supposed to begin 30 mins. after we got back from the baptism, but birthday girl was knocked out cold. The guests arrived (her cousins and grandparents) and patiently waited for M to wake up.

Luckily, she woke up in a good mood. Here she is, acting like a monkey (Curious George themed party) with cousins...

Time for cake...

Her favorite part was presents.

What a busy day, but we wouldn't have had it any other way. Happy birthday, M!
