James loves his baby sister

Maureen January 3, 2010

Thank you notes that I had the kids do today, to send to an Aunt of Jim's who lives far away & who sent them a very generous gift for Christmas. Now, I've got to add a letter myself & mail them off tomorrow.

I tried to sort out some paperwork today...but, I didn't get very much done. Whenever I clean up the house for a holiday (or because people are coming over) I toss everything into this laundry basket. It usually sits in there for a long time and generally becomes garbage because all of the dates have passed (on the coupons or events)

As we undecorated the tree, today, we decided to keep all of our 'Clint Ornaments' in one place, together. We ended up using the nice box that one of our Christmas gifts came in. It's perfect for them!

Happy New Year!!2010!

Henry (cat on right) is getting really old. He's got to be about 18 years old, now. He's always been relatively curmudgeonly. He finds a favorite spot & sticks to it for months at a time. Lately, it's been on top of the puppy crate in the kitchen. And, just recently, he's started letting Extra (cat on the left) share the space with him. They are adorable, all cuddled up like that. And, whether she's doing it because she wants the space or because she wants to sweetly cuddle with the old man, it's still nice to see.

Eric and Cole cleaned out our stereo cabinet today by sorting and organizing all of our CD's.

James loves rocking on his horse, this used to be Jessica's when she was little

Maureen December 30, 2009

We went out to eat at Macaroni Grill for the first time ever tonight. Food was delicious, service was great and they had a milk-allergy friendly menu available for Shelby, which included a dessert that was safe for him! We asked them to substitute that for the usual 'Birthday Ice Cream' and a server sang 'Happy Birthday' to him in Italian!

My Dad made this highchair for me when I was little for my dolls, It's so funny Emily can fit in it now. She looks just like a little doll

Maureen December 29, 2009

Putting batteries into one of Allison's old Bop-It toys that Annie found. And, remembering the Simpsons episode from a few weeks ago, where the kids are playing with a 'Bop It' in the car to the point where Homer ends up throwing it out the window. Of course, right then, a father in a passing car does the exact same thing & the Bop It lands in the back seat with Bart & Lisa.
