Let it snow!!

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning. It's the first snow of the season and it's still coming down very steadily. The kids are loving it! It's amazing how much more you can enjoy snow when you know you don't have to spend the entire winter in it. :)

Look What I Found On The Stairs

Hey, when you're tired, you're tired. :)

Silly Jane

Jane is so funny. The picture of the bandaid on her eye is from last year. She hurt her eye and she absolutely insisted that she wear a bandaid over it. She couldn't figure out why we thought is was so funny. She planned on wearing it all day and even fell asleep with it on.

Funny things Jane has said recently:

During sacrament meeting we started singing an intermediate hymn after the speaker, she looked over at me and said, "Commercial mom!"

I was driving in the car with her and it was very quiet until Jane said, "Mom, me got a bad feelings about this!"

We sat down for dinner and Jane looked at all the food on the table and said, "Can we go to a restaurant?"

When she says Claire's name she starts it like she's clearing her throat..."Cuuuuh-laire" EVERYTIME.

What's your favorite color Jane? "Blond"

Happy Thanksgiving...from the kid table!

The Indians: Bruce & Zane
The pilgrims: Jane, Maeve, Claire, Liv & Linda

We had Thanksgiving dinner with Robert's cousin Jenny and her family, in Reston, VA. It was nice to be with family and the kids had a great time playing together.
We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Linda is 5!

Linda was born by c-section. She was born with a lot of dark brown hair and blue eyes(she still has both). She seemed healthy and normal for a few hours after birth but then started experiencing difficulty breathing. They whisked her off to the NICU where she stayed for 4 days. I had to leave the hospital on Thanksgiving Day without her. I was heartbroken. The Dr.'s believe that she inhaled amniotic fluid on her way out which caused the problem. Grandpa Thompson gave Linda a blessing and she recovered quickly. Linda is named after her Grandma (LINDA Lee ) and her middle name is the first part of her mother's (KaDee). We added the E because it just didn't look right written without it.

Oh, how we love Linda. She has grown to be such a wonderful little girl. She loves books, using her imagination, singing, dancing, and all things girly. She is also very thoughtful and kind. Sometimes I find myself thinking,
"I want to be just like Linda one day."
