Lydia Turns 6/ Grandpa Turns 60

Christmas Morning

Morgan woke us all up at 5:45 on Christmas morning. She was hungry and expecting to go back to bed. Instead, she got to enjoy the Christmas fun. You can see in the pictures how tired she was. A few favorite Santa gifts: Lydia- V-tech Nitro kids laptop, stuffed puppy, snowflake outfits that match Morgan Seth- animal planet set, pop-up dinosaur book Morgan- the wrapping paper.

Christmas Eve

Dad and Mom bought all three kids matching seal pajamas to open Christmas Eve. Seth's didn't fit so he got to open a dinosaur book instead. Seth will probably be thankful someday that he was left out of the matching PJ pics this year.
The kids prepared a cookie and milk snack for Santa. Lydia is hoping Santa brings a small stuffed dog and Seth wants a truck. Morgan didn't get her list in this year. We'll see tomorrow if Santa came through.

Christmas with Uncle Bryan, Grandma, and Grandpa

Where are the children?

We went to the Christmas party at Steve's work a couple weeks ago. It's one of the few times since Morgan was born we've been out without any children.

Lydia's Gingerbread House

A neighbor invited Lydia to make a gingerbread house this evening with some other children. She enjoyed showing us when she got home.

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch

That's one ouch for each shot I had this morning at my 6-month check-up. I also had to drink gross drops to keep me from getting some other sickness. I did get cool Elmo band-aids though. I weighed 15 pounds 1 ounce (30%), was 26.25 inches long (75%), and my head was 16.5 inches around (40%.)

6 Months Old

I'm six months old today. I weigh almost 15 pounds. Mom and Dad say I have to wait six more months for a party. I can sit now... I just fall a lot. I'm almost always happy.

A New Car, First Snowfall of the Year, and 2 of 3 Kids in Boxes Ready to Move

Stephen got a new car this week. It's a Toyota Matrix.

It snowed about four inches last night. The boy next door lost his Spidey toy in our yard, and the kids are doing a search mission to find him.
Seth and Morgan getting ready for our move to Ohio.
