Fun Driving Moment

Zoe and Amelia and I were driving the other day. Zoe was screaming and wailing and Amelia was screaming over and over, "Change the channel, that hurts my ears!" I had been listening to NPR at a low volume but she always claims extreme ear pain when the talking radio is on. She prefers music. Maybe she has inherited more of mommies artistic side.

Anyway I thought about getting angry but instead I just started to smile and laugh. One of the nice parts about being a slightly older parent is that I already can see the day when I am driving alone listening to a podcast about something like the history of physics in Russia and there will be no one screaming and no one asking for the channel to be changed.

Side note: Right now Amelia is wailing away upstairs and has been for more than an hour. And Zoe is alternating between a high pitched moan and rubbing play doh into the carpet.

We're back! (We hope)

Well we're trying to get back in the blog swing of things for our faithful readers (all 6 of you). Here's some from the last few weeks...

Amelia decorated Grammie's Christmas tree. She had an entire system that involved putting all of the glass balls on the lower right section. She was very insistent about this and wouldn't let anyone else near it.

At our new house, Daddy got us a tree on Christmas Eve. Amelia was very concerned that it have a tree topper and so here she puts it up for us.


Wrapping is done - it doesn't look like that many presents but I swear it was :)


Amelia tries out the new scooter Santa brought her.



Peekaboo see ya later!

Zoë's Thanksgiving Dinner






No idea why these won't flip... so you'll just have to til your head to the left! Zoë enjoyed her Thanksgiving Dinner at the head of the table... but a little earlier because she had to go to bed :) She had a lot of fun and seemed to have a lot to be thankful for!
