Pictures of the Children

Here are a few current pictures of the kiddos. Hope this finds you all well. We are all fine here, just getting ready for Santa Claus to come visit in a couple of weeks. This is when the excitement really builds here in our house. We are going to go visit Santa at the mall today. We are constantly reminding Ryann and Morgaine that Santa is watching them, they better "watch out" and be nice. Mr. Jack is doing GREAT seems like he is growing like a weed. He has completely outgrown his newborn clothes and quite a few of the 0-3 month clothes are getting tight (in the length). We think he is going to be a big boy. Jack is such a sweet baby, so mild mannered. He is really starting to enteract with us by turning his head when we talk to him and smiling. He is cooing & really trying to talk. I think he knows that in order to have his voice heard in this family he is going to have to speak up - he has a little competition with the girls. :)




The top picture is of Ryann the day before Jack was born. She was showing Morgaine "how to pose" for pictures. And the bottom one is of her reading. Ryann is reading so well. She is bringing home books that are at a beginning 3rd grade level. She still needs a little help with some of the words, but knows most of them by herself. We are so proud of her, not surprised though, Ryann has had a love of books since she was an infant. We hope that her love for reading and books continue through the rest of her life.




Here is Ms. Morgaine... The top one is of her taking care of her baby. She was so cute, she was copying what I was donig with Jack that morning. Morgaine is going to be such a good Mamma some day. The bottom one is of Morgaine "shaking her booty" as she puts it... Everytime the camera comes out Morgaine wants to "shake her booty". Pretty cute now, something we would hope she will grow out of in the future. :) As I uploaded these images, I realized that both of them are of Morgaine in her PJ's and the SAME ONES at that... The bottom one is of Morgaine on Dec. 6th and the top on is of her the morning of Dec 7th. As hectic as it is here, I DO manage to get everyone dressed each day, they may not match, but we do get out of our PJ's. :)

We took this picture this morning.... Can't believe I actually caputred his SMILE. I am usually 1-2 early or late, but rarely on time.

The pictures below are of our sleeping PRINCE. He is such an ANGEL. The bottom two pictures, we have to say THANK YOU TO COUSIN JAKOB, Jack is wearing his hand me downs and staying very warm in them. :)

We love an miss you all very much. Hope to see you soon!!!

Snow In Houston, Texas?????

December 4, 2009

Today was a very unusual day here in Houston, TX. It is SNOWING!!!! This is very rare, but what is even more crazy is that this is the 2nd year in a row that it has snowed. Usually here in Houston we will get snow once every FOUR years. Two years in a row is almost unheard of.... I guess the "global warming" this is really true - JUST KIDDING! Here are a couple of pictures of the kiddos enjoying the snow. While it did not stick, they had a lot of fun playing while it was snowing.

Here is Morgaine all bundled up & ready to play in the snow. It was really cold here too - in the low 30's - upper 20's, which is also very abnormal.

This is a picture of Ryann (in the pink jacket) and her friends Garrett, Emily & Christiana playing on our trampoline in the backyard. I had to tell them to get off because it was completely ICED OVER, not a good idea to try to jump on it.

This is a picture in front of our Holly tree in our front yard. This is Morgaine, Emily & Ryann.

We know that this seems sort of silly for your "Northerners" who see snow more frequently, but here in Houston, everyone comes out to "enjoy". People were coming out to take pictures of their houses with the snow on their roofs and all the children came out to play. Having been in the snow & ice plenty of times I guess I am not as excited to see the snow... But it is fun to watch our children enjoy it, since they have never really experienced the snow.
