I was eating at Biederman's in Plymouth, NH and the building next door caught fire. We were assured by Firemen that we could finish our sandwiches--then we left.

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy...

This is Amelia at church on Christmas Eve. The turquoise bar is the kneeler. She was crawling all over the place beneath the pews.

Amelia really liked the fish at the doctor's office.

Amelia the plumber.

Sledding

Some pre-new year's sledding. Amelia loves this and for concerned viewers the hill is only 8 feet long. Even when she falls on her face, covering it in snow, she will be saying--more, more, more, when we go to pick her up.

Amelia's Sick Day

Today...


Amelia took a sick day. In this video she seems good but there were about 6 hours of whining and no nap today.

Hello from Amelia

Hello from the Trampoline.

We Love Carol Horton!!

Don't Stop Taking Pictures of Me!!!!!

Sunglasses from Aunt Becky!
Trampoline love...
I have a diaper on--I'm just wearing it low like teenagers do.



This post goes out to our friend Carol. She has had a tough couple of months, to say the least, and we want her to know that we are thinking of her. Hi also to Jim, Katie, and Caroline. Hope Christmas in California is fun. I prefer darkness and freezing rain--but to each his own...

Love from the Crumrines!

Amelia got a trampoline today from Santa - she is so excited about it that she starts coughing and breathing hard and we have to force her to stop :)





She has figured out how to swing from the bar - maybe she'll be an Olympian someday and pay off all our debts to society....



Until then, enjoy this video!

Christmas Morning, Part I

Christmas Morning. Amelia didn't know quite what to expect but she sure was excited when she came downstairs and saw all the presents.

A couple of you passed my test. Yes, I uploaded some random pictures and 2 of you noticed. Justin and Alli--give yourselves 3 stars each.

I have been lagging on the blog, not because of lack of will, but because of lack of battery. Our Olympus Stylus 850 SW is very cool but it came with a terrible battery. It wore out about 4 months after we had it. It also has a charger that connects with 2 pieces that come apart easily. If you loose one you can't charge the battery. I have heard that someone might be getting a new battery for Christmas so we will have better images up soon.

For now we are getting by with the iPhone. The iPhone is very similar to me as an athlete. I was mediocre at everything. I could play all sports in a competitive way but I didn't excell at any either. The iPhone does the same. It can do hundreds of things but only some of them well. Pictures are viewable but not awesome--for example.


Amelia takes a cuddle with her friend Michael (in the picture). She spent about an hour with this Christmas card picture.

Amelia wearing her sunglasses.

Amelia loves shoes of any kind. These are my mountaineering boots. They weigh about a pound and a 1/2 each so they slowed her down quite a bit.

Amelia never got close enough to Santa for a picture. These are our friends Boyd and Christie and their kids.

Amelia decides what she wants to wear in the house. We are terrified that she does this kind of thing at pre-school. In this one she is our little plumber.

In the next couple days we will have a lot of fun. We saw Grandmother Perkins today, Becky returns from Utah and Grammie finally gets off of school. (While we had a full 2 weeks Bow went 3 extra days.)

Until then....
