new trick

She's got some new tricks. Here is where I found her this morning.

I almost missed this month. Tim reminded me this weekend that she will be 7 months in a few days (can it be so..)
my first thought was "I guess I need to take her 6 month photos"
Such a big one this 6 months - half way to a year.

Her accomplishments are incredible:
Crawling, sitting up alone, all kinds of new sounds (her favorite is "oie" and she says it over and over), She laughs big laughs and yells for no reason, she finds the tiny things on the carpet and samples them all, she eats a variety of food and is no sure she likes any of them.

She is pure joy.

love this girl!

January life

C's got some new tricks

Look at the baby who can sit up

and she is so proud of herself.

Oldest sister is back in the swing of school things - hard but good!

I love it when forgotten toys get rediscovered.

January is for playing inside and creating with your imagination
This sister is so good at that.

January life is moving at a lightning pace
slow down...... don't rush..... the year has just begun.

A merry little Christmas

The last day of the year - Goodbye 2011... You were filled with wonderful blessings and difficult lessons.
Christmas this year was low key, but we managed to squeeze in lots of fun time with friends too. So Thankful once again that we get to stay here.

Gingerbread house making

A bit of Christmas Hula

C found the festivities fascinating and a bit overwhelming

The girls new puppet theater

Lots of new games - twister is a favorite with these silly girls.

A is going to sew lots of fun projects on her very own machine.

Looking forward to spending the rest of 2011 in the same simple way. The girls are excited about staying up late and I am excited for a new year full of fresh possibilities.

Blessings to you in this year and the next.
