The First Sunday in Advent

Mass, Wild Wings, and playtime.

Warm then Cold

Black Friday - no shopping for us!

Gene took the girls out job hunting while I took Jack and Maddie out for the day. We went to IOP this am to play before it began to rain. We visited my mom in the nursing home, haircuts for the kiddies, and last stop at Jump In! They were so busy that they were both asleep by 8:30 tonight.

Thanksgiving Walk

Jack, Madison and I took a walk in the undeveloped section of our neighborhood Thursday morning. Jack was so tired after the walk that he needed a nap before lunch.Kristy came over for lunch and took them for a while. I think that is what the rest of the household was the most thankful for ... a few hours of peace and quiet!

Spending time with Poppa

Poppa entertained Jack and Madison on Saturday. They eventually were able to get the front yard raked!

Charlotte

Charlotte came home on Saturday afternoon after 3 nights at Roper. She is feeling much better after the IV antibiotics.

Jack loves pie!

Jack loves meal time and is not very picky. I bought a coconut custard pie at Publix tonight as we had only had yogurt for dessert for a while. It seems to be a favorite with Jack.

Weekend Update

Jack and Maddie have been with us 5 nights in a row. I am glad we are able to help, but hope they will be safely home in the near future.

They are definitely full of energy.Carrie and I had our hands full as we took them to evening mass while Gene and Charlotte went to see the Doobie Brothers tonight.Jack did really well, while Maddie made it to the homily - then off to the nursery with her! Jack said a 5 word sentence today. "I want my Jeje book, Poppa." That is the first thing he said to Poppa this am. His first words this am were "Mimi - truck" as he pointed to his pjs. Thank goodness he slept in - about 7:15am.

Cars and Princesses

We are now the owners of a Cars bed and a Princess bed. We packed away Jack's port-a-crib and he is now sharing the loft with Mimi's books and computer. Madison is sharing with Carrie while Charlotte is sharing with Carrie's kitty, Bella.

Yikes, we need a bigger house or an extreme makeover.

Singing on a cold morning.

Jack sang and talked all the way to preschool this morning. Maddie joined in at times, but mostly concentrated on turning Dora Doll into Baby Jesus.

A little static electricity.

The Girls

Carrie kept Maddie entertained while Charlotte had her gameboy on the way to church. Maddie has been here all weekend. Jack was here Friday night, but will be back this afternoon. Poor Gene was busy with all of them while I was in Beaufort until Saturday afternoon.

Happy 2nd Birthday Jack

Birthday King Jack celebrated with his friends at Daniel Island Academy during morning snack. Jack and the other children were so cute.
