I was just looking at pictures of Georgia from the day she was born. What a cool thing that was! I can't believe that she is 5 and going to Kindergarten this year. Look how cute she was!

I remember feeling so happy and like I had a little doll to play with :)

My neighbor just had a new baby last Sunday. I was a little jealous because I LOVE the newborn cuddliness. Then I remembered that they would be barely sleeping that night. I love my kids' independence....and the fact that they sleep all night.

The Amazing Lamm Family Circus Performers

Georgia and Jude's favorite place to play is in our bedroom, specifically on the "big, big bed". They do some crazy stuff on the bed. Most of the time I'm scared of them hurting themselves. I think we should sign them up for the circus.

Fun With Perler

The kids (mostly me) have been having fun with the Perler Beads. I got some new ones yesterday and I made these cool animals.
We hit McDonald's way too much. This is the kids' collection of Hotel for Dogs dogs from McDs!

This note from Georgia has been hanging in our bedroom for a couple months now. She wrote it after I took a trip to the ER for some kind of asthma attack.

Ellen and Gladys

I've seen this before. It is HILARIOUS.

Even now, a couple of years later, my kids pretend to be cats or other animals most of the day. This involves leashes around the necks (til they're caught) and crawling around on all fours meowing. Here is a picture of them with balloon cat tails.


We had some snow flurries the other morning and they thought it would be a good time to try to fly their Thomas kite.

My mom HATES mice. It's actually stronger than hate. She gags if you say the word mouse. She is petrified of them.

So, of course, I had to take pictures of the kids eating their gummy mice and send them to her right away!

Come on! You know you wanna learn to knit....

This is the cutest thing that I have knitted so far...and quite easy. You can find the pattern here.

My mom and dad are in town. We had Christmas with them and Jude got this cool Darth Vader costume (among other things). We're having a good time visiting (and shopping) with them.

We let the kids stay up on New Year's Eve, but Steve fell asleep so I put them to bed around 11:15. This is the second year Steve got fun party stuff for the kids. My favorite is the silly string.

I went to bed and watched the ball drop and whispered "Happy New Year" to myself.
