January

Natalee's picture for January 23rd, 2008.
Natalee has a new favourite place to play - in front of the fridge with the magnets. Of course, this is often the place she is most happiest when it's time to make meals or put food away, so not the most convenient play place, but she hasn't been pushed over yet by the fridge door.
Andrew insisted on having his picture taken with Natalee. Bunch of goof balls...Natalee fits right in with the rest of this goof ball family!

Bath Night

Yesterday, all four children were in the bath tub for a moment while I quickly got a picture of them. Natalee did not stay in the tub with the boys. There's hardly enough room for the three of them!

The Softer Side of Caleb, Joshua & Andrew

Caleb loving his sister, despite her crying...
Joshua's beautiful, long, dark eyelashes...
Andrew's stuffed animals & a doll that's actually Natalee's...and the shepherd from the Nativity Set that's still not put away. He likes to carry around the shepherd or Joseph. Actually he calls this shepherd "Joseph" because Joseph is stuck in the back of the barn and Andrew can't see him...

Natalee's Favourite Toy

Hair, Frost & Crafts

Natalee's already 10 months old. Why does 10 months sound so much older than 9 months? Is it the change over to double digits? Natalee now has seven teeth and her hair is growing! Slowly, but it's growing. The boys had haircuts yesterday, so now her hair is actually longer than theirs! She still isn't crawling, maybe due to the fact that she had several unpleasant falls shortly after Christmas.
The boys and I did some crafts the other evening. Andrew and I made this envelope puppet.
Natalee...feeling her teeth.
We had heavy frost on the trees one morning when we woke up. This picture is actually taken when I was taking Caleb to school at around 12:45 pm. and you can still see the frost on the trees. It was very beautiful.
Joshua was doing a puzzle and I put Natalee beside him. Andrew sat down beside her and I thought it made for quite a cute picture.
Joshua giggling after a giant tickling episode.
