I often giggle and smile as I read all your blogs that I love so dearly, but I just read a post that made me laugh out loud. If you like a good poop story, check this out.

Round 4

We had a really nice Christmas with my Dad's side of the family. Also, after my post last week, I wanted to say that I do really appreciate having so much family, and family that I want to spend time with, and that they are close enough that I can reasonably see all of them. Sometimes I feel sad that we don't have all of the grandparents right here in town to call at a moment's notice. That's the way it was when I was growing up and it was so great. But then I'm reminded of families like Giselle's whose closest relatives are 8.5 hours away so she can't see them all at Christmas. And THEN I'm reminded of families like Pam's, whose parents are on the other side of the ocean, so she only sees them once a year or so, and only if she has a couple thousand dollars to drop on plane tickets. So we are fortunate, we really are.

But anyway! My Dad's!

A great-grandma who handles 2 at once! (David has a leetle obsession with hair)






Reading books just to David? That aren't 2 years too old for him? What a novel concept!




Ever since we got home, Katy's been asking me to count these bracelets, "...in Spanish, Mommy." There are 12 bracelets, and unfortunately I only know how to count to 10 in Spanish. (I took French, 'lotta good that did me)

My Dad loves baseball. Always has. He was thrilled to find a baseball game for 9 month olds. So was David.

Odd Place for a Typo...

Aunt Mel gave the kids this City Garage Heliport for Christmas, and they've both enjoyed playing with it in David's room. One of the features is that the letters on the white arch ("GARAGE") slide back and forth and spin like those pediatrician waiting room toys.

Cleverly, in the picture on the box, the letters spell, "Garage." But as you can see here on ours, the green letter in the middle is definitely an "E," not an "R." So we have a City Gaeage Heliport.

I guess it will be awhile before he notices.
