This is 1/2 of why this Christmas was "the best Christmas ever". The other half? Madden 12.

I could live where January is always like this.

The funny part is, he's actually appropriately dressed for the weather!

If you lined our kids up and asked "who do you think will need stitches?" I would have skipped over the preemies and gone straight for Rowan. Fortunately, glue worked, so I'd still be wrong. I don't know who was more relieved, me or the urgent care nurse. (No more playing "fishy" in the downstairs bathroom).

You want to play a game of Madden 12 on the wii? Ten pushups and ten situps. He's so used to it now, I don't even have to remind him. Usually...

Ellie had a practice meet Monday. Her coach wants everyone's hair in a clean bun (but no bobby pins) or curly ponytails. Have you ever tried a bun with no bobby pins? (And stick straight fine hair?) Good luck. I am happy to say that the curls lasted for the whole meet.

This is the book we finished today. I read, and everyone else listens. It's very possibly Rowan's favorite time of day. Not that he really likes the books - he likes that Jon plays with him while trying to keep him quiet. But if you ask Rowan, he'll tell you that while he doesn't care about the books he does "like the whole family together". Ellie loves it, and will gladly drop what she's doing to listen. Conor likes it too, but always groans a bit before sprawling on the floor. He's usually the first to make a comment or have a question while I'm reading.

PS - Happy New Year!
