Sic 'Em, Sister!

In a rare moment, Osten recently shared his coveted Georgia helmet with his little sister.

Sic 'em, sister!

And Then There was One . . .

. . . highchair, that is. Osten sits in a booster seat now. How did this happen??!! When I requested two highchairs at Applebee's this weekend, Osten proudly announced that he wanted to sit in a booser.

Well, we at least still have one child who is agreeable to being strapped in at mealtime! Safety strap aside, Marci has certainly kept things interesting lately with her new table trick of stuffing an entire wagon wheel in her mouth and then patiently sucking on it until it dissolves.

Perspective

I wonder if this is what Mommy means when she says that life is all about perspective??!!

Break-Away Rim

In between packing and moving this weekend, Osten played a little ball with FaFa, who taught him how to hang from the rim . . . Hey, isn't that a technical foul??!!

180 Degrees

Things have really been moving along in Marci's world all of a sudden. While Grammi and Mommy were unpacking the kitchen in the new house, she enjoyed a 180-degree view of the dining room.

Here Come the Griswolds!

We did some preliminary moving this weekend, and Daddy packed up his car, Griswold-style! When he pulled up next to us at a stoplight, we could hardly see his head over the toilet paper, paper towels and tricycle he had piled in the front seat.

We got to the new house Saturday morning - not quite as early as we would have liked - but we arrived in plenty of time to meet a couple of the new neighbors before naptime.

The exersaucer made the cut for the first carload to the new house and made Marci feel right at home. She must have spent at least an hour chewing on her toys while the rest of us were unpacking.

Osten got right to work unloading the pantry, and there were goldfish scattered around the kitchen in no time! (By the way, he is currently a big fan of hooking his sunglasses on the neck of his shirt and is so proud that he can do this all by himself.)

Diff'rent Strokes

At Marci's age, each day is just a little bit diff'rent. Here she is in the beloved Jumparoo at school. Some days, a girl has energy to burn!

Other days are better for some light reading . . .

and still other days are good for going out for a bite to eat.

But no matter the type of day, some quiet time in the red chair is always nice before bedtime.
