Where Squirrels Sleep

Here is a little snippet from a conversation between Nana and Paul Thomas.

After watching the squirrels gobble up there dinner as we did the same, Paul Thomas grew concerned when bed time was announced. They seemed to be on the same schedule as we humans and he could identify their "table", but where could their beds be?

A New Addition

After spending the day under the care of cousin Isabelle, Paul Thomas insisted on taking care of Baby Doll at home. He informed me that Baby Doll needed to go night-night and he was going to cuddle her. In the time it took me to put Avery down for a nap Paul Thomas did what all parents do at some point: fall asleep with their little ones.

Playing with Your Tongue

While in Michigan, Paul Thomas was indulged by Uncle Stephen to explore a more musical avenue for his energy. Here is a clip of him doing just that! Check out his mouth.

You might ask where he gets this from...well, see for yourself.

Jeremiah and Philip are competing head to head in a Wii Canoe Competition. Fierce, I know!

I'm gonna get you

Testing

One of our Christmas presents this year was a new video camera. This thing is incredible, it is smaller than our digital camera and way more complicated! It has taken me the better part of three naps to figure out how to upload/export/backup the clips on the computer. Yes I have those three choices and I only hope I chose correctly otherwise it will be next year before anyone sees them. We opened this gift early to record some of our trip up North. So now the hard part to figure out which one to test... here goes nothing...Thanks Papa for the test clip taken by Philip.

The SUPER POKE! Gottem both!

Snap Shots to Share

I have a hard time posting out of order. That is way you will occasionally log on to find that two days ago I posted when yesterday there was no new news. The date feature is great! So with that I haven't posted any Christmas happenings because I still wanted to give due coverage of our Michigan Trip, but as the Christmas season is officially over with the Baptism of Our Lord I am resigned to officially close the Michigan Trip with these final snap shots, so that I can get cracking on Christmas, one season late.

Enjoy. We sure did.

Playing with Uncle Tim's trucks!

Papa and Gee Gee had the best toys! PT quickly discovered a hidden treasure cove of toys in the basement and found it hard to be content with being upstairs, reminding me of the hundreds of hours we spent down in Nana and Grandpa's basement.

Helping Gee Gee redecorated.

Whoa! Taking steps.

Making music with Uncle Stephen.

Being silly with Aunt Chelie.

Avery had so much fun with his Papa!

Ahh so good for loving!

Only a grandchild could convince a grown man to squeeze into such a tight place.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who made this trip so wonderful and possible. We are very blest to call you all family.

We love you!

Staying warm!

Michigan is cold! We discover and rediscover that fact just about every time we head north. Here are a few of our bundled up pictures. Notice the cow boots are multi-purpose foot attire; you can wear them to the pool or in the snow. They really are the all occasion foot fashion!
