Some random pics of Mr. Destructo

Well, the past week has been very busy . . . First the holidays with family . . . a visit to Fort Vancouver and the airport museum . . . A trip to the coast to see the maritime museum in Astoria . . . And a round of strep throat and colds and goopy eyes (clogged tear ducts)! So, now that things are settling down and I have gotten to know our local pharmacist very well. It was awesome to see my brother William and Sister-in-law Carrie and their kids. Sorry to send them home with strep thoat. :(

I keep having little thoughts about what to blog about next--James dumping his pee in the bathtub, Kate and Clara fighting over whose hands are whose, James playing baby all day--even asking to have his nose cleaned out with the bulb syringe like his sisters. "Um, James, did you notice they're both crying after I do that?" . . . but the time passes so fast I forget by the time I sit down each night. So, here are some random pics I had on my camera. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Oh, we had 6 month check ups--both girls are 13 lbs. 9 oz. & 24" long. Doing great.

The girls are getting bigger each day so we decided it was time to get out the Jumperoo for them. HA! Doesn't look like they'll get a chance to try it out any time soon . . .

The keyboard is my birthday present from Justin. With all the free time I have . . . . I decided I want to learn to play the piano. I thought it was best to start with a small keyboard, not a big, expensive piano. (Just in case this goes the direction of my great plan to learn knitting--I got as far as one bootie. I need 4.)

Ok, so this is totally a life lesson. How many gum balls do you have to eat to figure out that you don't like them? Apparently about 7. Then again, it usually takes me about 7 bites of yucky store bought birthday cake to figure out--Nope I still don't like it. Take care everyone! Have a great week.

We had so much fun visiting...and now that the antibiotics are fixing things we're getting back to normal around here! Lots of love to the totally two-year old James and to the little girls we love so much!

hahaha....love the picture of James in the jumper. Noelle and Adam both did that to our swings. They loved it! He is all boy! I still can't believe how big he is getting.
