I don’t have time to type a whole blog out right now…. the kids are up and hungry. But you really want pictures, right? Tidbits: We all slept great again last night. We moved Brian’s office to our bedroom. We bought an ikea wall shelf for over our couch in the living room. And the grand finale…. later today we will be the owners of a full size (portable) dishwasher! It will go next to our stove and I have no idea where my trash can will go now! 😀 And I’m crocheting a scarf. And the fool person who made the pattern decided scarves should be made out of row after row of slip stitches, which are about the least efficient (slowest) stitch around! Why did I choose this pattern? Well, at least it looks nice. Will keep his pinky warm so far.
What it looks like to hang out:
What it looks like when we’re eating:
What it looks like when we’re laughing:
-
- Maggie is hiding from the camera. I love our little farm animal stockings. (I have two more stockings just in case God blesses us with more kids and they aren't sold any more)
-
- Thank you to Brian's coworker who blessed us with adorable outfits from Gymboree! LOVE them! (Going to wear them for Christmas! Will share more pictures then!)
-
- The cupcakes were definitely a hit. Sadly, most solid foods turn to mush and slide down his fingers to his palm....
-
- Maggie helped Jordan with his water bottle, tilting it up for him. 😀
-
- Maggie usually seems more like Brian than me (bites her tongue when she concentrates, has nice teeth...) but when she reads, she frowns just like me!
-
- Jordan likes getting under rugs and then banging on them.... I love it when he invents new games!
-
- I love it when Maggie copies Anna in being quiet and well-behaved. heehee
-
- This is how our family floats... (Maggie pushed that chair over there just so she could climb on Brian better!)
Love, love, love the laughter in our home..

Love the videos! They are all great, but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the “just hanging out” one. I have a feeling that’s a lot what our life will look like not too long from now… just chilling with the people you love.
WOW! He’s such a doll and you guys are SO YOUNG! You’ll have a whole house full by the time you are OLD LIKE ME LOL! BLESSINGS!
