Back after Thanksgiving

We enjoyed Thanksgiving so much, the food, the family and fun... Uncle Steve and Aunt Betsy, Livy and Haven made a trip out to see us the very next week.  Actually, Steve helped us out and finished up a few projects around the house.  The girls?  We just hung out.

...all bundled up for the first snow :)

...playing play-dough :)

We sure had an active house with four under four!  Thank you Powells for coming.  We had so much fun!

Corrie quotes

Some goodies all in the span of 5 minutes, so I could actually remember and record them   :)

"Ok, i'm going to get in the elevator" (the small corner shower in the downstairs bath)

What floor are you going to?

"Number 61, because that's where outer space is"

"we're going to out-our space, Mary"

out OUR space??

"yeah"

You know it's outER space, not outOUR space….

That's the last story, Corrie.   I'm too tired…

"How tired are you, mommy?  Are you as tired as the ocean??"

Something about Mary

A whole post, just about Mary!

She's great.  She loves to sing.



and this...  she's listening and learning the words to this song but for right now she only knows "glows".

 


Mary likes books.  She likes to say goodbye and "I love you" to anyone.  When we can't find something she says it's "up-a-tree".  "Mary, where's your cup?"  "up a tree."  "I can't find my sock..." (mary) "up a tree!"  She's learning to count and sing ABC's.  She says "pretty cool" and pretends all the animals have to go potty.  She must have two blankets covering her at night and sometimes wants to sleep with books.  She is fascinated with the plunger, lids, snaps and water fountains.  She can be a little challenging these days but I know she needs us.  Loves hugging and holding.


Two years old... here we come!

Corrie Quotes

I can't stop loving you... can you?

I don't know what it is.  Is it the morning or the night?
(The morning we rolled back the clocks an hour.)

Sometimes I do bad things like push Mary off the couch... but I don't do AS MANY bad things as Mary does!
