New Years Eve

An attempt at a couple's picture..... this is what happens with kids..... plans foiled! :) This is Chris' fave!


We did not leave Maia out. She was sleeping. Liah crashed the picture!



That's right. We dress-up just for fun and pictures!

Getting back to normal!

Liah is not quite 100% yet...... However, she requested her sparkled jeans, flower top, princess shoes and her hair to be clipped. These demands are obviously a shift in the right direction!
Oh and the giggles returned.....
the attitude.......
and her normal antics!
Not to be forgotten....Droolmiester Maia! She used a sippy cup today! Yeah!

Why are you looking at us!?

While we understand we are now Florence royalty (teachers & coach) we could not figure out why people at Wal*Mart kept looking at us. Then, once we had ventured back home, we realized. We were dressed like the Bobsy twins. We matched head to toe! How queer and not planned! To make matters worse the back of his cozy sweatshirt says Coach, mine says Gooden. Together we made Coach Gooden!

Caution!

All cleaning, laundry, organizing and fun has come to a complete stop! Miss Liah is sick. My normally "let's do lunch," sparkled, fun-loving, shop-a-holic sunshine had faded to a Nuk obsessed, snuggle-buggle, couch potato! She has had a bit of a fever and threw-up once. Aside from that the poor baby is NOT herself! She complains that EVERYTHING hurts, from toes to hair! I can't wait to have "old" Liah back!


In the mean time.... Maia has had to play alone! Our only other wish is that the bug does not land on this little Diva! The drama of everyday mishaps is enough to send her flying into a fit of rage. Throw-up!!?? Fever??!! Heaven help us!
Thank goodness for Dad and Stella! They have also been playmates while Mom tends to Liah! As you can hear Maia....it's all been "Uh-oh!"

Twas the day after Christmas




T'was the day after Christmas
and all through my place
the de-christmasing is happening
at a full throttle pace
take down the lights
the tree must go
unstring the garland
toss the mistletoe
the stockings that hung on the
mantle with care
now leave dust and fingerprints
in a spot that is bare
as quick as it went up
it comes down faster
for sweet children
I learn from the master (my mom)
it's a family tradition
I hold so true
pack up the decorations
when Christmas is through
bring on the Windex, the order,
no less
in with 2008
& good night Christmas mess!


Playing with Christmas presents

Liah loves the dollhouse!
Haha- this is Gaga. She hates it because of the long gray hair!
Maia is all tuckered out after playing!
Dollhouse fun!

Christmas Day

Gapa & Gaga came over!
Aunt Mana too!
The reason all of Mom's pictures will be profiles.... she got bit by something (or has adult acne) & her face swelled up. Dad calls it squishy.... that's hot! (She is currently in hiding!)
Sweet new boots!



Love this pic!
Aunt Mana is so pretty! (Just ask her!)

We gave Mom & Dad a mouse pad with our faces and a special poem!
Gaga & Gapa got us Doodlebop tickets! This is the bow to match our Doodlebop shirts!
We gave Auntie a MP3 player!
Gaga & Gapa got coffee mugs... with our mugs!


Party essentials.....
Hats, cake & drinks!
