Sock Game

Busy Bee

Mimi

So, I may not be so proud of this, but when I change their socks and shoes I sometimes put it in their face and say "pew" so that explains the first one.

Addison likes to say "b" words?

Mimi is Addison's cat and she loves her.

Happy 15 Months Yip and Yap

Due technical difficulties the 15 month entry will be a video. Click Here Please to enjoy Addison walking really well and Evangeline and her necklace trick. Every thing that can go around Evangeline's neck does, scarfs, toys with strings, and chains of toy rings. Not sure why she does this, but she does it with everything. Towels from the laundry are always good. This time it happened to be Dad's belt. Also if this video is the wonderful game we call the "thank you" game. Every time they hand us something we say "thank you." The beauty of this game is now when they find things that they should not have they give them to us! This time it was Evy finding lint on the carpet. Not sure how that got there as a house with two toddlers and a dog is always immaculate. :o) The girls also are good at sorting the paper for mom, as you can see in the picures. They are also very good at telling me I am not fast enough with food at meal time, as you can see in the picture. They are officially toddlers now and we are trying to focus on the good parts of that and not the yelling and screaming parts. Please wish us luck as I think our lives are about to change drastically once again. I am sure that will stop with the toddler stage right. :))

Merry Christmas Yip and Yap

Addison and Evangeline had a wonderful holiday. They were able to visit both Grandparents' houses, and their Great Grandmother's house. They were really into opening presents. They liked to tear into the paper and play with the boxes. They received such wonderful things from everyone, and wanted to send a special thanks for the clothes, toys, books and other gifts. Ryan and I wanted to also send a special thanks to everyone for not receiving play dough, moon sand, finger paints, or any other loud or messy thing that we will soon have in our house. (Ha Ha, BTW, these are not hints to future present ideas :o)

The girls have an exciting year planned. We are now members of the DuPage Children's museum, so we will have some fun days their. They are also starting swimming lessons this week, and we cannot wait for them to be little shrimps. I am sure some wonderful pictures of that will follow.

New Year's Eve was a little different this year, the girls were actually sleeping and sadly so were we. We woke up long enough to hear our neighbor's fireworks and say Happy New Year. Maybe next year we can celebrate at noon with the girls.

We hope that all of you are having a wonderful year so far, and that this year brings you abundance.
