Let it Shmow, shmow, shmow!

It shmowed here in Springfield! No way! We heard it doesn't do that often & if it does it's after Christmas. Well, it would have been fun with the kids all decked out in their leftover AA snow gear except that the wind was blowing a million miles per hour so the snow-romp lasted about 1 minute. Maybe next time!


11 months & growing like weeds!

Justin is very proudly wobbling around here & there. He still crawls the majority of the time but is getting more adventurous in his walking. This kid is following after his brothers footsteps & loves to read books & look at them on his own. He seems to have a bit of a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde complex. He can be the cutest kid, making funny noises, always coming to lay his head on my lap to cuddle, belly laughing & rolling around on the floor with his brothers & sister. But then oh boy the tantrums are already starting & he can sure whine & cry with the best of them. Oh & he struggles with the sleeping thing. We love our little mister!

Miss Emma is a speed crawler & is starting to be more comfortable standing up. She is the happiest baby we know & is constantly smiling & laughing. She has a bit of stranger anxiety, is a major Daddy's girl & comes crawling towards him like a freight train when he enters the room, loves to put everything & anything in her mouth at all times, is the cuddliest she's ever been, scrunches up her face for pictures, takes her food VERY seriously, & if you take something away from her you'll get an earful. We love our missus!


Stinkers! So we block off the kitchen/dining room with a couch, tub & gate but we leave the hallway free so the babies can crawl down to H & H's rooms with the toys. I just have to make sure I keep the closets, bathroom, laundry room, Justin's room & the master bedroom doors closed so they don't get into mischief. Well I guess I forgot today! They had even shut the door behind themselves.


Yup, mischief! Can you hear Emma's snorty laugh? Love it!



I usually don't put a plug in for Hollywood but this is a really good movie. I saw it with some friends at the dollar theater & then Jeremy & I actually rented it a few days later so he could see it too. It didn't completely make sense but it was a very good, adventurous story. I liked how it ended too.

I like your Christmas tree! I am glad it is "growing" on you. I am glad you had a fun Thanksgiving. Isn't shopping early in the morning so fun?! It was fun to get the snow, but yes---SO COLD! BRRRRR!!!!!!!
