long month

We put up the Christmas stuff yesterday and this morning when Keagan woke up she asked, "Did Santa leave presents for me?"

It is going to be a long month if she thinks Santa is coming every night.

what he MEANT to say....

Easton and Keagan were in the kitchen coloring pictures. Easton says to Keagan, "Mom is going to like my picture so much more than yours." I was in the other room, but said, "Easton, that isn't very nice. I am going to like both pictures." He was quiet for a minute and then says, "Oh, I didn't mean to say that."

I think he MEANT to say, "I didn't mean for you to hear that."

a quick trip out west

Right after Parker got home from Florida, I drove out to California with my mom to help take care of these two cuties. They were two weeks old in these pictures. So adorable and cuddly.

Kasen was always pursing his lips, you couldn't help but kiss them.

Remy is about a pound smaller than her brother, but so strong and she is the clock when it comes to eating.
Sweet Remy

My dad hadn't been out to see the babies, so he flew out on Wednesday and I have to say, he is smitten.

I love this picture--Shelley and Kasen crashed.

Kasen

One night Kasen was being fussy, so I put him in the Moby wrap and he loved it. I walked around with him and he fell right asleep.

Remy

My mom is out there again, I am jealous. :) They are beautiful babies and I can't wait for Easton and Keagan to meet them. Keagan has already named all her baby dolls Remy and Kasen and she will tell me all day, "I am Shelley, Easton is Deven, and this is Remy and this is Kasen. I am the mom." Then she will go and put them down for naps and wrap them in blankets. Honestly, her dolls are about the size of little Remy. So, sweet.

a quick trip back east

Parker's grandma passed away early in October, so he was able to take a quick trip back east for the funeral. It was good for him to go and see his family, without kids or spouses. It was the first time in 15 years that they have been together without kids or spouses.

His grandpa is a Shriner and in a Jazz band, so some of the band members played at the funeral.

Parker's sister, Abbey, is buried in Orlando, so they got to visit her grave. It is only the second time he has been to the grave site since she passed away eleven years ago.

Thankful...

Today I am thankful for Curious George. He keeps my kids company while I am feeling yucky. Thanks, George. You are the best.
