Yesterday Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to see Santa Claus at our local Garden Center, where they also have a huge display of Christmas trains and villages to capture the imagination. Steven wouldn’t sit on Santa’s lap, so Diana’s lap would have to do in a pinch. as you can see, he has no problem talking with Santa, it just had to be from a safe distance.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for giving our kids another memorable Sunday!

Hi all! Each kid had a photo they wanted to share this week. Here’s Diana’s:

Diana came home the other day with all sorts of artwork drawn on her hands and arms. This lovely horse, which was unfortunately washed off for supper that night, was created by Mara.

And this one is Steven’s contribution:

This teeny tiny pine cone was given to Steven by Mrs. Arch, his Kindergarten teacher’s assistant. He’s been holding it safe like a treasure. Yes, it’s sitting on a dime. It’s teeny!

Look who lost a tooth!

Steven spent the night at Nonna’s house last night and lost his first tooth in his sleep. Luckily Diana came to the rescue and found his tooth in his bed this morning. Tonight he is sleeping in his own bed and dreaming of the tooth fairy.

Our baby is growing up…. sniff….

Just had to share….

After Steven went to bed last night John opened his “take home” folder from in his backpack, and found this note that Steven had written. Obviously, all by himself. He frequently writes little love notes and gives them to us, and we have many on our fridge. He often asks us how to spell certain words as he’s writing. (He’s 5, remember…) I love it most though when he writes unaided… we get priceless memories to share.

Thanks for looking!

This is Steven, “strimmin” his new guitar! He’s still little enough that sometimes he says funny things.
