All in a week

This is Lillian's interpretation of her mom after days of being trapped in the house by cold rainy weather with two vibrant youngones.

Samuel is waiting for "Dada" to come home. I see this a lot! They run screaming to the door. Nick picks Samuels up and Samuel pretends to feed himself, then he will try to undo Nicks tie, then he takes Nicks shoes to his closet, then runs to his chair at the table. We though it was so sweet that Samuel wanted to see his Dad, now we realize it is just DINNER TIME.

Snow, fun for Lillian; not fun for Leah.

I have no clue? But he wants the camera!

Lillian: self portrait 1000. They always look the same.

We spend much of the time in our Pj's around this house.

Yep, I am in my Pj's also. (really it was only 8am, likely!)

My bright rays of sunshine and warmth...Hmmmm? Lillian is doing so well in her reading and math lessons. She is fine tuning her helping skills; i.e. when your friends knock on the door better run to make sure your room is clean and the toys are off the floor in the play room. Samuel is getting off the buffet at long last and starting to sleep consistently in his own bed...No, you didn't hear me say sleeping through the night, but it ain't seventy degrees out side either...I can dream. Things seem to be getting to the not so new anymore stage, and just in time for Janna who will be with us for the summer. We are all very hopeful about the company. We are also hopeful for a houseful next Christmas as James and Mercy may be moving out to California with Janna, and that only nine hours away from us. If you come to visit you may go MIA, we will kidnap you and make you stay with us forever!
