Hmm.

Guess that is more comfy than it looks!

Silly girl

It took me a solid 5 minutes to find Selah tonight. I finally found her sleeping up in the fort in the boys' room. The only time I think the house its too big is when I'm cleaning it or trying to figure out where Selah is sleeping.

Sweet Elijah

Just wanted to share my sweetheart today!

Noah's Lego house

Thus was Noah's main gift this year. 1490 pieces. It took him and Bryan (mostly Bryan) ALL day yesterday to build it. It is quite awesome though. A light up fireplace, drawers that pull out, and tons off little details like frying pans, a newspaper, and Christmas lights!

Merry Christmas!

What's better than presents all ready to go before 9pm and a white Christmas? Celebrating the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas!!

Baby Elijah

I don't know if this ever posted. But even if it did, who doesn't like new baby pictures? Boy do I miss that little baby already! He'll be 4 months old on Saturday! 

Micah was vacuuming...

Himself apparently.  (taken in August. They high was 33 with an awful wind today. No tshirts or bare feet today!)

Donuts!

It's a rare treat for our kids to have donuts, since finding ones that are gluten & dairy free has proved impossible. But the homemade ones taste better anyway, even gluten and dairy free! And if you add in some homemade treated marshmallow coconut ice cream...yum!

Old picture

Not sure if I ever posted this, it was from September. But i was just laughing to myself at poor Micah. I mean, the backwards pants is bad enough. But then add in the bloody toe, nose, cheek, and forehead...

A string!!

The kids were teasing Elijah with a balloon and you can imagine their surprise when he grabbed the string! Of course, he promptly put it in his mouth. It's kind of sad he's not just a blob anymore!

Sleepy Noah

Noah was the first one up yesterday. That may be the first time, ever. He was up at 6 on a Sunday morning. And then laid back down in our bed. I'm not sure if he actually feel asleep or not, but he stayed in there until I made him get up and dressed for Mass!

After a lot of late nights last week...

Someone finally feel asleep on the floor yesterday, watching how mayonnaise is made.

Which means she wasn't all that tired at bedtime.

So, I found this slithering blanket sneaking through the kitchen "trying to get something!" That was the second time I caught her out of bed. It cracks me up every time I see her try that.

And, Mr Micah was not happy that Jonah wasn't home when he was going to bed last night. Perhaps that is why the gun?

Kids

They just grow up SO fast. Elijah is starting to sit up on his own. Micah is almost 3. Selah is 4. What happened?

Bath time!

Somebody absolutely loved bath time today! So much so that I not only needed a towel for the floor, but also for me!

She does exist!

The cleaning fairy, that is. Wish she'd stop by more often!!

Love that Selah

To wake the sleeping baby...

Or not to wake the sleeping baby.

In the end, my desire for a peaceful day won out and I woke the sleeping baby so I could get the day moving. Sure would be nice if he would sleep somewhere other than on me. Luckily, he didn't mind being woken up, and will likely nap in his swing very shortly.

How sweet is he?

Party!

There's nothing like a 5am party in Mommy's bathroom!

You'll notice Selah has this thing for wearing Micah's pjs. Sometimes he doesn't mind...other times, watch out! He can get pretty mad about it!

Buddies

Went to check on the kids last night before I went to bed...and spent a good two minutes trying to find Micah. Dug through all the blankets and pillows on his bed, and the ones on Jonah's bed before finally finding him up in the top of the castle next to Noah. It's usually Selah I have to search for, so I did start to panic a bit! As you can see, he was sleeping peacefully all the while.

And Selah was snuggled up in her bed with her doll...until about 4am when she decided the floor in our room would be more comfy. Of course she knows she isn't supposed to be in our room so she hides...she's the lump under the blanket.
