Sending a Message...

32 Years

Jade's mother and father are celebrating their 32-year wedding anniversary today. When we told the babies about this milestone, they immediately set to work creating the following display...

















A Christmas Messenger from Texas

Ginger's dad O.D. is visiting us for Christmas... the little ones are very happy to be able to get to know their Papa. Joel even worked with Mommy to color-coordinate his outfit to match O.D.

Here O.D. is holding Ella-bug.









Babies

Ella and Grace both really like this blue plastic phone handset shown in this photo: early evidence that they are social butterflies in the making :o)

The babies enjoy this toy which was given to them by a close friend. The toy contains a music box which--when playing--rotates the balls.

Due to the back-and-forth and the many new events which filled the summer of 2009, Jade was only able to go on one brief fishing excursion with his friend, Joe. In order to make up for this, Ginger arranged an expedition a couple days ago which yielded a 12 pound catch measuring in at about 24 inches! Quite the trophy!!!

Here, the three babies enjoy play-time on top of Grace's quilt.

Ginger walked into the babies' room a few days ago and noticed an eager Ella peaking through the bars of her crib.

On Saturday, December 5th 2009, the babies each had their first taste of "real" food: oatmeal mixed with milk. Joel and Ella seemed to at least grudgingly tolerate the new experience... Buglet wanted nothing to do with the cereal.
