Ordinary and the Extraordinary!

The blog has been quiet recently since Blaine took the computer apart and added more ram and hard drive space. Not all of the programs are re-installed.

Here are some snippets from our lives the last few weeks

--this morning the twins took Q-tips and were swirling designs on the front of our bedroom dresser using toothpaste (They are such little artists!)

--this week during breakfast, Elle swiped a raw egg from the container. Her and Eden managed to crack it open in the middle of the living room rug and rolled several of their stuffed toys in it-as well as themselves (They are such little scientists!)

--Elle busted off the top of the Christmas Amaryllis that gramma had just helped them plant-we're crossing our fingers and hoping it will bloom yet (What little gardners they are!)

--We've watched the 1978 vintage Christmas Eve on Sesame Street movie about a zillion times in the last few weeks and the girls dance and iceskate and make snow angels right along with the DVD. I have been hearing constant chatter from them about chimneys and Santa. (Seriously, I think this is the best Christmas movie ever-well, it's right up there with Irving Berlin's White Christmas!!!)

--Evie is saying new words like 'button', 'Hi', and 'kick'. We were rolling with laughter this week as the twins were being donkeys and kicking their legs about and the baby joined right in saying 'kick' and than throwing one leg back to kick too-and than she would just bounce around and laugh hysterically.

And the BIGGEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST WONDERFUL NEWS THAT WE'VE HAD HERE IN A VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME......................




drum roll please....................................................






Eden went POOP in the Potty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is near miraculous!

We are on our way to buying less diapers around here! It will be a Merry Christmas!
