Happy New Year!

December 30, 2009

This guy's thank yous are in progress. I really shouldn't blame him, as Rowan and I haven't even started.

Why yes, that is a bird at our birdfeeders! Thanks for noticing. And thanks for not tripping and running into the window (a la Conor) while running to see them.

The girl's thank you notes are done and mailed. They were done on Monday morning. It's totally my fault that they didn't get mailed until yesterday.

We're at the time of year where if Mallory isn't home, Ellie is B-O-R-E-D. She can't go ride her bike, or swing, and she doesn't watch a whole lot of tv. What she does do is hang over your shoulder and sigh. That means it's good to have some projects on hand. So I present: the cheap balsa wood cutout painted with corn syrup and dipped in bird seed birdfeeder. They look darn cute hanging on the lilac bush. (They're hung there because I can reach it from the office window).

On Saturday we went to Wilson Christmas. The big kids got digital cameras, and spent the entire weekend taking pictures and videos. I can't believe I don't have a picture of that!

I apparently didn't take many pictures of Christmas morning. You'll just have to trust me when I say it was great. As great as 6:00 am can get. We left not long after to come home. Love that winter weather.


You'll be happy to know that Santa brought Conor Madden 10 and a Wii. As soon as we unpacked the truck, it was set up.


Here's a close up of the floor, so you can see what great care they took while setting it up and before playing.
