Tech Junkies

Jason and I are always about ten years behind the rest of the country when it comes to gadgets and new technologies--if we catch up at all. So the Kindle I got for my birthday is the first tablet of any kind we've had, thus making Eli the youngest user of such a thing our family has ever had. For some reason I get the biggest kick out of watching them so effortlessly navigate it! They instinctively figure out how to do things on them that I couldn't even figure out!

Warrior

Logan doesn't dress up all that often anymore, but when he does he makes sure he has the whole ensemble!

Apple Smile

PB Face

Eli is trying to figure out the best way to eat sandwiches without getting the insides all over his face (he doesn't like to be sticky), and is not often very successful. But, boy is he cute!

Family Pictures

OK, so even though I didn't get the variety I was hoping for, I did find some I loved. And between JD and I both taking our time about it, they will finally be up on my wall in the next couple of days:) I am so glad to be a part of this family!

Photo Shoot

So, back in October my wonderful brother JD agreed to do a photo shoot for my family. I keep thinking, "They're old enough now to cooperate. They can handle the idea of sit and smile," but we clearly still aren't there yet. I just love looking at collages of family pictures in different groups--you know one of just the kids, just the girls or just the boys, some of everyone, etc. And I long for that. Maybe when they're teenagers. We're lucky we got anything. Seriously.

Writing

It has been fun to see Ali and Logan's writing improve this year both in skill and desire to write. Don't be surprised if you get a note from one of them!
