New Pics






So this boy LOVES the jump up. He will literally come out of the seat a little when he is jumping he is so enthusiastic about it. He especially loves it when everyone is looking right at him- a Leo for sure.







Abs and Wes on our Christmas tree cutting







I love this pic- wonder what he is thinking - "really, those are mine? look how they move. the next pic taken which isn't on here is him trying to eat those toes. :)










Hard to believe it is time for him to be sitting up by himself- he is still pretty tippy but likes it.


Tres Bebes - Wes, James Van and Mathilda Roo.


How sweet are they?

To celebrate the return of the Sun.
To acknowledge the best and worst of the past year
and give voice to our hopes for the next.
Happy winter solstice and "Here Comes the Sun...."

At the breakfast table

Abby mutters sort of under her breath....." Someone has to know if Santa is real, I just have to know..."
This momma takes a deep breath and states, "Ok Abby, are you ready?"
Abs: Yep.
me: I talk about how it started that yes he WAS a real guy, how he did it and that there was definately magic involved but that that person died. Talked about traditions and how things evolved (simple version for sure) and about the spirit of christmas how fun it is to give gifts to people that we love.
Abs: Ok mama. That sounds ok to me.
Then she smiles and says "I definately know elves are real I just wasn't sure about Santa."
Such a sweetie girl.
