A Sudden Passing

Quietly, and without warning, my father was suddenly taken from us on Tuesday, February 12, 2008.

Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated at this time.

Kids Say the Cutest Things...

It is amazing how much the girls speech has developed in the last few months. They seemed to go from 2-3 word sentences to full-blown conversational sentences over night.

Lately the girls have started saying the cutest things. A few examples:

Everything is their favorite or, as they say it, "faborite", or they love it, which comes out as "lub it." "Apples are my faborite." "I lub popcorn." Too cute. (Gotta work on their pronunciation of 'V'.)

When they see snow flakes and/or the ground only has a dusting of snow, they call it "snow crumbs."

One day, they were watching Caillou on PBS and Caillou had twin boys over to play. I said the them, "Look girls, they are twins. YOU'RE twins." A replied, "I not twins, I girl." And L chimed in "I not twins." As if the choices are: boy, girl, or twins. :-)

I'll Bet You Thought I Was Exaggerating

I will bet that you thought I was exaggerating (frankly, so did I) when I said I should have a Christmas summary post up by Valentine's Day. Well, here it is, February 11th, just a few days shy of V Day and I am just getting to it.

We really had a wonderful Christmas with the girls. They really got into the spirit of things and still talk about the great stuff that Santa brought them, especially their teddy bears and tricycles.

Here are some pictures...
