Happy Birthday Cora
Cora, we love you. You make it easy little one. You are growing fast, adding vocabulary by the day, serious about playing and books, putting some speed to your run and loving your baths. Your very favorite word is MINE and you do not hesitate to use it. You also refer to your dad and I as mine. You can be very quiet in public settings and very loud at home. You love songs. But do not like people dressed up in any kind of costume, except your brothers of course. Keep up the good work little one because you are not going to be little much longer. Love your mom.

January 2012
I love this picture of Rob. I took it at the library this week. What I don't like is how old he looks.
January finds us all growing either vertically or horizontally. Rob is finally growing out of his favorite sweater we will all be sad to see that one go. But it is lovely as a mom to see him growing in character and personality. Rob for good or bad does not meet a stranger- ever. The guard at the art museum this morning did a good job scaring him back to my side though but then we found an older guard in the back of the museum that Rob chatted with. But I digress. Jack has waited patiently for a christmas gift to arrive and it has. So he spent the majority of today and yesterday afternoon putting together his Lego millinnium Falcon. If there are mornings that the boys get up before Cora and I then its a sure bet they are at the lego table talking and putting things together. Cora? What can i say? She continues to charm, smile, babble, boss and love her way through her days. She hasnt committed to trains and cars or baby dolls and dishes yet. She loves them all and focus on what is at hand. Cora and the boys goof off very well together and I am thankful for it all. Happy New Year all!

December 20
Hello all, or at least the few that come here still, Merry Christmas! We have been having great fall here in memphis. My three little birds are growing growing growing. It is a very fun time and I am soaking it all up. Jack continues to have a good time at school and really loves his Clue classes. Rob is chomping at the bit to get reading as well as continue to love being outside with the bugs and the leaves. Cora is starting to try to compete for talk time at the dinner table and continues to be my constant shadow. Which I do not mind in the least, although it has possed some problems for wrapping her gifts. Bo and I are well and continue to be so thankful for time together provided by grandparents who watch the kids for free! So in the middle of a decorated house, between baking and cleaning, before naps and play I am thankful for all of this and cant wait for more. Merry Christmas everyone.

the Gordons
We were privileged to have the Gordons stay with us last week on their way back home. This is a couple that we knew as close freinds before they were married, then kids, then different jobs etc. etc. Being around them is remembering old jokes and cooking familiar food. Our kids are growing up before our eyes and it is a treat to see them together playing. Our time was even better when the Huggins showed up later in the evening and we talked and laughed for a long time. We have had a great few weeks here. Playing together, school projects and breaks from school, cool weather and hot weather, new friends and old. We are all growing and it is going fast to me. i try to soak it all in as much as I can as well as take pictures!
