trimming the tree

One of our family traditions is setting up our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving or the day after (depending on what our Thanksgiving agenda is). This year we've decided to hit the road for Thanksgiving. So we set it up Sunday. Molly was a little confused why there weren't any presents under it when she woke up. :)

Lincoln. Thrilled that there are now fake pine needles everywhere to try and eat. Note the vacuum cord. :)

beautiful.

Lincoln

I noticed that I haven't posted any recent pictures of Lincoln.The weather has been beautiful her. Lincoln loves waiting for the bus with Molly and Gabe.

love that little tongue

Little man is getting into everything. He LOVES trying to eat leaves and anything else he can find on the ground. :( He also loves playing with the surround sound. He's crawling all over the place. He likes hiding under the bunk bed. Lincoln really is the best baby. He's still super content. He loves talking. Food is probably his favorite, he wants to try everything. He makes me want lots more babies.

Perfect

I'm so proud. Molly was perfect in the primary program. Shy Molly who doesn't talk to anyone at church gave the loudest musical performance. Right after church she ripped off her cardigan and shoes and ran to sing on the swing set. That's my girl. ;)

Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Ben made the trip down to see Molly. I only got a couple pictures. Most are of grandpa spinning the kids. It was a nice little visit. Saturday we went to a children's concert that was sponsored by JCPS. There were actually 2 concerts. I took the kids Friday night and then we went again with G, G,&B Saturday. So fun. JCPS even gave every family that came 3 free CD's. I'm pretty sure we have all the songs memorized. David Kisor may be replacing Taylor Swift or at least he has for the past couple days.

Gone Fishing

Drew left this afternoon on a fishing trip. He'll be gone until Saturday sometime. It's going to be a long couple of days without him. I kind of gave him a hard time because he doesn't even like fish, but I'm happy that he'll get to have a few manly days away with the guys. Here's to new fish recipes.

75 + sun = a PERFECT day at the zoo

we love a day off

Molly has been asking for a bike helmet. I found one at the flea market for a couple bucks. Score. It looks like someone else wants a helmet too.
Growing up is inevitable, but it does make me sad. Gabe used to always say "because me is". Gabe why are you __________? "because me is." Last week Gabe started saying "I am". I miss "me is".

getting to know Molly

Molly LOVES Taylor Swift. This morning she put on a concert. "You Belong with Me" is one of Molly's all time favorites. Last year Molly had an internal conflict every time she sang the chorus. So she changed it. Instead of "she wears high heels I wear sneakers" it's now "she wears high heels I wear high heels". I love it.

This upcoming Sunday is the Primary Program at church. Guess who has a solo. She is so excited. Molly loves singing. I'm sure all of our neighbors have the song she's singing in the program memorized, she belts it out as she swings outside. Molly is painfully shy. I'm hoping that on Sunday she'll sing the way she's been practicing. I'm praying she doesn't chicken out.
