I worked at the Harrison library today. This is what greeted me when I got there this morning. Tons of returned books. (If you notice the blue cart is also full of books that need to be put away...good thing we have volunteers)

Miranda December 14, 2010

I really wish I was more computer literate. I have transferred videos from my video camera to my computer in the past, but I keep getting this message on my video camera even though everything seems to be plugged in! What a pain!

Snow covered stuff in our back yard

Anna & Anna got restless waiting for us moms to finish up inside the library, after the Girl Scout Christmas party, so they went outside & built a fabulous snowman family!

Gianni really enjoyed sitting in the doorway watching Eric work outside.

Miranda December 10, 2010

This is the one ornament that Gianni gets off the tree several times a day. He says "baby" and kisses it!

All the kids had dentist appointments at the same time, today

I ate in the teacher's lounge today at the middle school. It's been a long time since I've packed a lunch to eat at work.

Miranda December 7, 2010

We checked out a new pediatrician office tonight since our pediatrician is no longer with the practice. Funny enough, we found out that my pediatrician, from when I was a kid, began this practice before he died!

Taking a family pic in front of the Christmas tree. The pic with the kids was funny James kept trying to hug Emily and Emily kept trying to crawl away. They fell over and James thought it was funny.

Marla December 3, 2010

I finally got Cole an advent calendar. This is the only chocolate one that they had left at the store I was at tonight (it's really fancy).

We had a great time at the Children's Museum today

Maureen December 2, 2010

Annie was determined to put the Christmas Tree up, today. She carried all of the pieces up the stairs herself so that I wouldn't have any excuses for putting it off any longer.

Marla December 1, 2010

Today was my first day at the middle school library. The library aide there had surgery today and they are letting me and another aide fill in for her while she's gone. So, I will be going there for the next few weeks in addition to my normal job.

Happy Birthday baby! I love you and miss you.

Miranda December 1, 2010

Today was the first day that Gianni saw snow (other than when he was a baby). He kept going to the window and saying "WOW!"
