Getting ready for Christmas

Pia had alot of fun getting ready for Christmas this year.

She read the directions for the choo-choo train for Daddy.

Then she helped clean up around the tree.

She soon became distracted with shoes, and doggies and, of course, jumping on Daddy.

Mommy's time at home in November

It has been great being at home with the girls.
I get to see them doing so many new things.

Pia loves coloring... and constantly chatting with me.

And now she gets more time to find her bearings in the morning.



Pop has been able to spend time with Mira Belle.



And she's growing so fast.

Ta da!

Unfortunately, I lost our camera on Thanksgiving and

have no pictures from Mira's 1st holiday.

Two kids is alittle more chaotic for me.

So we are waiting for our new camera to arrive, patiently.

The little kids had a great time on Thanksgiving,

And the big kids loved dinner.

Of course, there is always one in the family!

Another Cold

Pia, Tela and Eliza have passing around a cold.

Thank goodness Pia has learned how to blow her nose!

Fun with Aniela

Pia and Aniela had a great visit when she and Aunt Jenn were in from N.C.

10 1/2 months and talking

Pia is 10 1/2 months now and she is really trying to mimick

everything she hears. Of course, her first word was 'NO,' but

now she's moved onto 'Pop,' 'Big Girl,' 'Apple' and 'Thank You'

among others that I was told about from Grandma, Nana and

Uncle Marty and Aunt Amy.

Now if she could only get more than 3 teeth to come in.

10 months and mobile
