Entertrainment Junction
Last weekend Mommy and Daddy took us to Entertainment Junction!! There was SO much to look at!
The play area was our FAVORITE!!!
Whitney was amazed by the "real" train...
She was NOT pleased that she couldn't ride before the other kids in line...
FINALLY, it was her turn...
Waiting to shovel "coal" into the train...
Whitney climbed right into all the train cars...
Lauren was a little hesitant...
But then she got up the courage...
On the way home. Maybe we should wear them out like that more often. :)
Sister
"Passing time with you in mind
It’s another quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
Counting stars against the black
Think about another day
Wishing I was far away
Wherever I dreamed I was
You were there with me
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, keep me
I hope you always know it’s true
I would never make it through
You could make the sun go dark
Just by walking away
Playing like we used to play
Like it would never go away
I feel you beating in my chest
I’d be dead without
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, you keep me
I hope you always know it’s true
I would never make it through
You could make the heavens fall
Just by walking away
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, you keep me"

Whitney gives open-mouth kisses...good thing Lauren gives closed-mouth ones. :)
Loving Winston
"Daga!" "Daga!" ...loosely translated, means doggy in Clidence girl speak. :)
Lauren likes giving Winston kisses. For some reason, always on his rump!
Hats
I'm starting to see that the girls enjoy being "pretty." When I do their hair, dress them cute or put a hat on their heads, I make sure to let them know how pretty they are! Now, when they see the chance to put on a hat - ANY hat - they love it!

StrollerFit Christmas party
Last weekend we went to the annual StrollerFit Christmas party. It was held at a tea room - not very conducive of two curious toddlers - but it was lots of fun with door prizes, ornament exchange, catered dinner and decorating gingerbread houses!
When we first got to the pretty tea room, we weren't quite sure what to think of everything...
Or of all the boys playing games...
We stood around and watched...a lot...
Then they started the choo-choo train...
All the kids tried to see...
Then we found the STEPS!!!
Mommy kept trying to keep us off the steps, but we had fun climbing up and down. Our pal Regan was playing with us too!
Finally it was time to decorate the gingerbread houses...
Ours didn't turn out very well, because we ate all of the decorations!
Thanks Denyce for the party--we had so much fun!
Family photos
In the past, before the girls were born, "family" just meant my parents, grandparents, etc. I've also had very close friends who felt like family, but until now I guess I never knew what "family" really meant.
On one of the last perfect fall days, a good friend of ours took wonderful family photos of us. We went to Sharon Woods park and just explored all afternoon. The girls (despite NO nap that entire day) had the best time playing in the leaves, walking up and down the trails and looking at all the dogs, squirrels and other kids. My sole intent was to use a few for our family Christmas card this year - and I did - but when I printed them I realized that I have my very own "family." A family of four. A unit. And my heart is full up.
I now have six of them printed, framed and hanging on the wall. I have plans for some of the other ones, as I realize you can't capture the love and joy of "family" enough.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures Greg. I will cherish them always! :)
