New Blog

Here is the address to the new blog, not clever but it will do.

Problem

I have a lot of pictures to post but I have exceeded the quota for uploaded pictures to blogger. Instead of fixing all the previous pictures, I am going to set up a new blog, I wanted to change the name anyway with Clara included. When I decide on a new name I will let you know and post a link on here for you!

This time I will upload the pictures at a lower resolution to hopefully not encounter this problem again.

Determination

Have you challenged yourself today?

Playing basketball while sitting in a box at a desk.

He is determined to do things differently!

Clara

She's laid back and mellow.

 Rarely cries as long as Momma is close by.

 Loves to smile at her brothers.

Will talk to anyone willing to listen

This is our two month old Clara!

Verbatim

While driving to school we pass a fire station and hope to see a truck out. The other day this was our conversation passing the station.
Landon "Mom, some fire trucks are black and red and some are yellow."
Me "Wow, you're really smart"
Landon "Yeah, it's because I'm a paleontologist of fire trucks."

Ornaments

As a kid my parents got my sisters and I a new ornament every year and we opened it Christmas Eve.

I really want to do something similar for our kids.

This year we painted our own.

Santa

 We visited Santa last night

 I tried to prep Ollie for it, but when we walked up to say hi, he pulled on my hand back towards the door

 That's as close as he wanted to get to the scary guy. Close enough to protect Clara

 Clara doesn't know any better.

We talked earlier in the day that if he didn't want to sit with Santa

maybe he could give him a high five.
