Hannah Quotes

Hannah, after pointing at her bedroom curtains which were washed and hanging on the line:
 "Mom, did you wash my curtains because there was a crooked, eensy, weensy spider on them?"


Hannah: "Grams, what's wrong with your eye?!"
Grams: "What, what's wrong?"
Hannah: "There's a crack on it!"

Tuckered Out

A little couch snooze feels so good when you've been out playing in puddles!

Longing

When Eli's most dear wish to get outside does not come true,

this is his favorite place to be.

Gotta Get Outside

Eli makes it his daily goal to get outside, at least once, for a little while.

If the big kids go out, 

he cries and squeals and bangs at the door until someone feels sorry enough to take him along.

On this day, Mommy bundled him up and put him outside on the porch until Celene could find his sled.

A certain friendly furball kept him company. 

 She wound around him, round and round, until there was no spot left on his snowsuit without cat fur.

And finally, his long-awaited ride. :)

Hard to believe this little munchkin is 1 year old already!

And off on the go, she is!

Amazing, it feels like it's only weeks since we did her newborn pictures.

Eli Update

He is at the age where a sink bath is most necessary after nearly every meal. :)

He loves to scramble all the neatly placed shoes and boots in the mudroom.

The kids dread it because they know they will have to go back and clean it all up! 

Imagination

The girls set up their farm and animals,

 and cut pieces of felt to make fields and gardens and ponds.

Quite creative!
