Jacob & Alison

Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

I'm pretty much digging this song right now.

Just thought I'd post it.

Check out these fun photo creations my brother Birke did for me!  So cool!

We'll add a picture of Jacob soon!

Don't you just LOVE when babies smile in their sleep?

I DO!!!

Jacob is EIGHT weeks old today! 

Let's look at his resume so far:

VERY proficient Spitter-Upper

Great at Lying on the floor Batting at the toys on his Floor Gym

Daily winning the Hearts of his Big Sisters and Mom & Dad

What an accomplished little guy!

Chickenprints

We don't get snow here, but on cold mornings we find a thin layer of frost or ice covering everything. 

I just kind of thought this was funny.  Little chicken footprints in the frosty dirt this morning.

I'm thankful for my beautiful children and my wonderful husband.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Playing Harry Potter

This is one of those glo-sticks that you bend to make a bracelet.  She wanted it to be a magic wand so she could play Harry Potter.  In the light, it didn't glow, but like magic, in the dark parts of the house, it glowed blue!  She ran around the house yelling, "Harry Potter!"

Alison's Phone Conversation

First of all, look at what she's using as the phone.

Here's what she said, "Hello Jamie.  When I a borned baby.  Goodbye."

Thanksgiving Treats

Sam's friends came over again and we spent the day making fun Thanksgiving treats!

For step-by-step instructions for the Oreo Turkey, go to my family recipe blog.

Playing with Friends

Samantha REALLY wanted some friends to come over and play, so here are a few pictures of the kiddos...hard at play!

 Watching a movie.

 Their mom didn't feel well, so they're making her "feel better" cards.

I'm pretty much a dork!  But hey, I think it makes me a cool mom.

Such rockstars!
