First Sledding of the Year

See Us Grow
Here is the newest Nutcracker picture and one from 2007. If you want to compare them to last years, look here. A little bonus, the sweater that Adrian is wearing (at 4 1/2) is the same sweater Mark is wearing in 2005 just after turning 7.
It has been a few years, but we are all excited to see the Nutcracker Ballet again this year. We are hoping for nice weather on Friday morning for the performance.
We were surprised to find that Audrey grew the most this year, about 3.5 inches! Mark said Megan won. She grew 23 inches!
New Discovery
After much searching and failed attempts the last few days, Megan discovered her hands! Her discovery was made around midnight last night. Now, if she could discover that going to bed before 1:00 a.m. is excellent, we would have one perfect baby!
Independent Study
Adrian found a pile of alphabet worksheets. He has spent a few hours doing dot to dots, filling in the blanks and other fun worksheet pages. He shared his work with family, making sure he wrote who’s it was on the top of the paper.
This is only part of the pages he worked on.

One of the best ways to sleep, snuggled up with a warm sibling!
Blueberry Eyes
Wh
en Megan went for her two month check up, the nurse called her “Blueberry Eyes”. I have never heard that phrase but thought it was great!
Her appointment went well. She is very healthy and growing well. I forgot to ask the nurse for all the details, but she is over 11 pounds and is about 23 inches tall.
Happy Thankgiving
1 Samuel 2:2 NASB
… I rejoice in Your salvation.
Indeed, there is no one besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today’s Smile-Megan Grins
Megan is starting to smile! Doesn’t she look like she is up to mischief?

Real Pictures
Today I went to pick up some pictures that I had taken of Megan. I had a free coupon for a “newborn package” from a very well known company. The pictures are cute. But I was disappointed on the cropping job. The smaller pictures are okay. But in the 8 X 10, Megan fills the whole picture, with no room for a frame. Because her head is touching the sides, your eye moves to her clothes, not her adorable face. Now I have to go back and try to get it fixed, or have a picture that I am not too excited about.
So. I decided to prove that I can get the picture that I want, without spending lots of money or lots of time at a fancy photography studio. I am pretty happy with the results. Remind me this next time I want to get pictures taken somewhere! 🙂
