Complex Sentence at 19 Months Old

Jenna pieced together her first real sentence (other than "there it is") at only 19 months old. I cannot believe how fast she is growing.

The other night I heard from the kitchen out of a sweet little mouth...

"Mom, Jo-Jo ate my cookie!"

Say What?

"I'm helping Daddy." - Jacob
"I can't hear you!" - Jenna

 

 

   

 

 

"What up?" - Jenna

Cabin Fever

It happens every year. The troops are getting restless. We are having to come up with creative, new, inside games. And you will notice that most of those games don't require us to get out of our jammies.

Vacation Videos

I haven't really had anytime off of work since I exhausted my vacation time with Jacob's surgery and recovery during the month of April. I was lucky enough to have my final vacation days to spare for an extended Christmas weekend. I took advantage of the time to have as much fun with the kids as possible.

Happy Holidays

In this new year, I hope to get better about staying in touch with people. That will include updates to the blog. And for starters, pictures from our Christmas celebrations.
