It's How Cold There??

To all our friends in Illinois, Indiana, New York, Michigan, Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Antarctica and anywhere else you might be where it is cold : just wanted to let you know it was 80 degrees at our house today. I fetched the paper at 6:30 this morning in shorts and bare feet. We should turn on the A/C but I refuse to do so in December so we have the windows open and fans running. I can't exactly say we're happy about it. It does confirm my notion that I would not really like living in Hawaii due to the lack of seasons. Now, catch me in a month and a half when we have moved further midwest and ask me again....

Good perspective for the holiday season

When you feel like complaining about the holidays, read about this family:

Teeth!

Sammy has a tooth! Lower front, just barely peeping through this morning. Don't have a pic of it yet but will post one when I have it.

Sam's New Tricks

Just tonight Sam was up on his knees! He's rocking and still going backwards but he can get up on his knees. I also noticed today that he dropped something from his high chair and looked down for it. Yesterday he started clapping. He's just picking up something new every day!

Going to the second hand...

WAR EAGLE! We beat Bama for the SIXTH year in a row! My kids have never lost an Auburn-Alabama game. I guess Nick Saban hasn't made enough yet....

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very mild day for Thanksgiving. The kids had a great time playing outside and enjoying the nice weather. (They'd better - it was 19 in KC this morning!) We spent Thanksgiving just the four of us (plus Jordan) and had a nice day. Robert made a great turkey and trimmings and we all took it easy. Hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving!

Disney, Day Eight

Day eight was the day to go home. Boo! We did save one more bit of fun for this day. We had breakfast with Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, Pooh, Tigger and the Mad Hatter. Gabby wore her Alice in Wonderland dress, which made Alice say she didn't know who she was anymore! She loved that! We then hit the Marketplace before leaving to do a bit of shopping. It was a very hot day so Gabby had to play in the fountains. Finally we had to go but we'll be back another time - we have to take Sam one day!
