sneak peek

I've been having trouble posting--typed this days ago and couldn't get it to upload!

Kate's decided she's not quite ready to befriend Santa.
It appears as though she has one tooth on the top. She does. Yep, right front is pearly and white. Its neighbor is still absent.

Logan, during "rock-a-bye" time, certainly after singing his version of "Twinkle Twinkle" or "Jingle Bells" or "Hi Abby, How are you ? Dear dear Abby, How are you?"

December 17th. Really?

Christmas is rapidly approaching, and admittedly I think my brain is hanging out in mid-October. I could really get geared up for a football season about now. . . except that it's come and gone. Usually I'm pretty organized for Christmas, but this year it seems a bit forced. I have enjoyed making some treats in the kitchen on occasion (or two or three or four). I was lucky to stay home the first week of the month with the kids. We had some day trips planned, but the weather got kind of nasty and we hunkered down at home for most of the week. It was wonderful. We sang and danced and played. We even threw in an occasional rock-a-bye in lieu of a nap. I thought I'd post a few pictures of our week. (The sneak peek was to tide you over until you receive our amazing, well planned, well crafted Christmas card in the mail. . . except that didn't happen. I will try to put something together. . . we shall see if I accomplish that task)
