Pictures of the Kids

The weather here has been fabulous! It was 65 degrees on Thanksgiving day. That blows me away! It's almost December and not only has it not snowed, but it's barely been cold at all. So we've been playing outside. These are some pictures of the kids playing in the leaves at R & C's house. We don't have any leaves in our yard, so we borrow their yard. ... One of the pictures is of Elijah with 2 sticks. Whenever he holds sticks he does this wizard-type thing. He'll point the stick in your direction and go "pssst!" like he's casting a spell on you. So I had to get a picture of it.

I remember when I was young that playing in the leaves was fun. But watching it in the eyes of my children -- pure joy.

Oh, the weather. The day after these pictures were taken, it was almost 80 degrees outside. I let Elijah run around in just a diaper. Rob complained and I just asid, "Rob, it's Nov. 10th. Let the kid be naked! It's warm!" We had people over for dinner that night and the kids all ate on the deck outside. It was Nov. 10th! Crazy!

Elijah loves his little brother. He likes to lay down for a "nap" with him. He'll set Teancom on his pillow and get out all the nap stuff -- blankets, etc. It's cute.

And the great thing about being the helpless little brother is pictures like this -- Teancom covered in princess stickers! :)
