Another Video



It turns out that we lost momentum on this one. It was fun to start, but after a few hours on the computer just gave up and finished the thing. Carry on.

Another PIcture from the Back Yard



This is in our neighbor's tree. We are impressed with it and think it is a little better than the icicle picture. We have plenty more of this Young Scrub Jay. Its left eye is actually missing...probably pecked out in the nest...Anyways. Pretty fun, we thought.


Here is a fun picture from our back porch.

This is an old video but one we have not posted yet. Good fun.

Cousin Christmas Exchange

Since all the siblings are trading names, we thought it would be fun to have cousins trade names as well. So here are the results...












Caleb to Truman
JoAnn to Jefferson
Kate to McKinley
Will to Hinckley
Hinckley to Kate
Leah to Lincoln
Lincoln to Caleb
Truman to Will
Jefferson to JoAnn
McKinley to Leah

We are excited to have Jeff and Courtney in the mix now, cause it used to be more boring to trade names with me and Kath:)

Here are the rules...and if you have better ideas, please let me know!
1. Each gift must $5 or under. The point is to have the cousins remember each other and know they are thinking of each other at Christmas, so really it is the thought that counts.
2. Once the gift is opened you must take a picture of the recipient with it and blog their reaction/thank you so the giving cousin can see.
3. Finding these gifts cannot add stress to your Christmas season.

We will send our gifts with Sarah and you can send yours back with her so you don't have to worry about mailing them unless you want to get them here for Christmas. (If that's ok with you, Sarah:) Kath and Courtney can decide together so we get the gifts at the same time for everyone.

Gift ideas...character bandaids, coloring/craft things, t-shirt, game/cards, book, cars, toothbrush, etc. You know the little things that kids love.

Oh the weather outside is frightful!

And our childs are so delightful.
