Thanksgiving!

Every year, we take a picture at Thanksgiving, and every year, someone is looking away from the camera, or not smiling, or has thier eyes closed, etc. This year is no exception. Poor Kirkland had strep throat & an ear infection, so he wasn't even thinking about smiling for the family photo. And Charlie, I guess I can't really expect him to look at the camera & smile just yet. I don't know how I'm going to get a Christmas card photo this year...

Hicks

I let Hicks inside after she had been running around in the rain. Naturally, she smelled like a wet dog. I said, "Whew..Hicks, you stink". Kirkland looks at me very seriously & says, "You really need to change her diaper"!

"He's touching me"

I was trying to get a cute picture of the boys, but Kirkland kept laughing because Charlie was touching him. Will I ever get a picture of both of them looking at the camera, smiling...at the same time?

Embarassing...

We're at the Thanksgiving preschool luncheon at our church, eating at a table with a bunch of other nice couples with their well-behaved kids. Geoff pats Kirkland on the back to get him to bow his head for the blessing, and Kirkland yells out, "Don't hit me Daddy...That hurts me!". It was like the record stopped & everyone quit talking so that they could turn & see which Dad was beating their son during the prayer at church! Nice...

I can't believe I'm doing this...

I swore I'd never have a blog, but here I go. Kirkland & Charlie are both growing so fast. I don't want to forget all of the funny things that they do & say. Plus, it's a great way to keep everyone updated since I'm terrible about returning phone calls or emailing pictures!
