Winter 2010

The first (and only) time I updated this blog, nine months after starting it, I needed help from two sisters. Hopefully I'll get this right.

Katharine spent the entire evening writing and coloring a book for me and one for her kindergarten teacher. She loves to write stories and illustrate them. She tells me she is going to be an author, artist, teacher (1st grade) and veterinarian when she grows up. I believe her!

Elizabeth's new favorite thing to do is watch "The Lipsticks" on TV with her daddy. It only took a day for us to figure out that The Lipsticks are The Olympics! Her favorite, of course, is the figure skating but she likes the skiing a lot, too.

I went to work the other morning and Brian was still asleep, mainly because he hadn't gotten home from work until about 3am. I put a movie on for the younger two and took Katharine to school, hoping he could get some rest. He was woken up to Jameson sitting next to him in the bed, saying in a growl, "Die, die, die." My sweet little boy kept saying, "die, die" over and over. Apparently giving up on his dad's intelligence, Jameson grabbed Brian's hand and dragged him out to the living room where The Land Before Time, his favorite movie, had ended and he wanted his "Die"-nosaur movie started again. For those of you who don't know, Jameson is obsessed with dinosaurs, so not a serial killer threatening his father, just unable to say the whole word, dinosaur.

This really is just a trial run to see if I can blog on my own. Maybe I'll add more soon.
