Big Tub

At 7 and half months old, Avery is steady enough for taking a bath in the big tub! She and Anna had so much fun splashing around together...the first of many more times to come.

Look at all the Christmas!

From Anna's own words, here are all our pictures from Christmas...enjoy!

I See Teeth!

If you click on this picture you can see Avery's first two little teeth...it's the first time I've captured it in a picture.

Merry Christmas

We are thinking of all our dear family and friends and wishing you the joys of celebrating Christ's birth.

My 3 Cuties!

Avery still has blue eyes...I wonder if she'll keep them! If so, we'll have Noah with green, Anna with brown, and Avery with blue...I hope Avery has blue just so they each have a different eye color!

It's Story Time!

Anna lined up all her dolls to read them a story.

New Ornaments!

They love their new ornaments...a santa snow globe that plays a song and a Noah's ark! Thanks Grandpa and Mimi!

Uncle Nick's Visit

Our dear friend, Nick, came to see us this weekend. He brought his real fire fighter gear for Noah to try on!!!

Aunt Holly's Visit

Aunt Holly came to visit us on Friday. She gave the kids these cute pjs too. Thanks, Aunt Holly.

Celebrating Dad

Tim passed his oral presbytery exams this week and so went to dinner as a family to celebrate!

We went to the Blue Plate which has huge Christmas trees in front of it on the waterfront in downtown.

I love the ears!

Main Street Parade

We went to the parade on Main St in our neighborhood. It was a very cold morning!

Waving at the firetrucks!

Christmas Cookies

We made Christmas cookies...

rolled them out,

cut them out,

decorated them,

and of course, ate them!! what fun!

AHOY!

Noah has been all about pirates these days, so we made some pirate costume arts and crafts. His favorite part of arts and crafts is still cutting things out. He cut out his pirate hat all by himself!

We've been working on Noah writing his own name. He is doing a great job and is very proud of himself!!

7 Months Old!

Avery is 7 months old today! I can't believe how quickly time is passing. I am genuinely sad and trying to hold on to every day that she is still my little baby.

She is busy, busy these days. She is all about playing and grabbing anything in her reach.

When she's on the floor, she is constantly scooching herself backwards and ends up under things, like the bed! She is a wonderful little girl and such a joy to be with each day!

Our First Snow!

We woke up Saturday morning to our first snow fall of the year. We went out and had a snowball fight and played in it...the kids were so excited!

Right after I snapped this picture, Anna turned around and said, "Mommy, look at all the Christmas." What a little cutie!!

Noah was especially into hitting everyone with the snowballs.

He hit poor Anna right in the face...that was the end of her wanting to play in the snow.
