Hello, Gorgeous

Just my personal, unbiased opinion…

Quick Visit

Got to spend a few hours with the Newells while they were in town for the holidays.  It is always great to get together with good friends!

Miss you guys!

Play Dough

Hayden and I had so much fun a couple weeks ago making play dough! She helped me stir it while it was cooking and then we went to town with our cookie cutters, forks and old medicine bottle.  Lauren hung out in her exersaucer and her highchair while we worked.

Thank you Lord for fun with play dough!

Millinery Model

Hayden received this cute red hat in her stocking from Grammy Santa. She rocked it the other day while we ran errands.  Before leaving the house she allowed me to snap a few pictures.

Thank you Lord for our sassy “big” girl!

Milestone-Standing

Lauren started standing alone over the Christmas holiday.  It lasts for a few seconds before gravity and poor balance takes over and she finds the floor with her fanny.

The Little Artists

Tempera Paint on cardstock by Hayden. Chocolate pudding on tray by Lauren.

Please forgive the crazy number of Lauren pictures.  I realize they are all very similar, but I really couldn’t choose just one…or three.

Hopscotch

Hayden asked the other day if we could play hopscotch.  I believe this was motivated by seeing kids on Barney play the game.  It was New Year’s Day which had previously been earmarked for lounging and football watching, so instead of getting dressed and going into the chilly outdoors to play we chose to play in the living room. 

H. wasn’t really into actually hopping on the squares, but she did enjoy running back and forth and watching me and Bryan bounce around.  And while Lauren couldn’t get in on the hopping action she did enjoy playing with the tape and cuddling with her daddy.

By-the-way, blue painters tape is a wonderful tool for play!

Thank you Lord for relaxing days at home with our family!

Missing In Action

Things around here are crazy and Blogger is giving me fits when I try to upload photos.  I promise Christmas updates and many more fun things once I figure out what I’m doing. Please don’t forget us…

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a day filled with joy, love and the peace that can only be found in Jesus!

Pajama Playdate

Hollis Wade came over this morning while he and his momma were in town.  Hayden was a bit of a toot, but we managed to have some fun despite her black mood.
