Retro-Blogging "The Bowl"

I doubt that I am the first person ever to blog about how cute kids are when they are sick. When my kids are ill, most gain comfort from being near The Bowl. I remember that my mom had a bowl just like this one for situations just like this. A fine family tradition. Now, aren't you glad you visited my blog today?

Christmas Eve Snow

While visiting the Transue Family in PA we got some snowfall. The kids were thrilled and went to play on the back deck.


They scraped snow off the grill for snowball making.





I told Laura to look at the Camera and she went into full-pose mode.


James learned it was hard to put on gloves, he went to find daddy for help.


Megan loved the snowflakes.

Reptiles, Mammals, Amphibians

One of our fellow Classical Conversations Communities invited an ecology specialist from the University of GA to come speak to the kids. They invited our campus, and we were thrilled! The speaker was great showing all the kids different animals that live in our area. He had snakes, turtles, frogs, and even a baby alligator. In the far left of the picture below you may be arable to see Megan, sitting in big sister Laura's protective lap.


Why, no, that is not my son James reclining during the presentation. (okay, it is) But yes, the adorable girl in the white shirt with the long curly brown hair is Jack's sweet special friend at CC. They do get along very well.

American Girl Doll Party

Laura had an American Girl Doll themed Birthday celebration with a few of her friends.


Lou just ate a piece of Paula Dean Red Velvet Pound Cake, and is now napping to recover. He is what I am looking at as I post this blog.


Here is the mandatory sharing of deepest, darkest secrets. I believe it is a prerequisite for any 9-10 year old girl party. I am sure their secrets are indeed very dark and deep!





We had doll sized food. Mini club crackers, baby goldfish, cheese cubes and pepperoni. The dolls did not actually eat, and in fact I heard one party-goer yell not to even let the food touch the Doll's face! It could RUIN THEIR SKIN!


Laura had a good time with her friends, and I think the dolls had a good time too.

Reading!

You teach a boy to read, and then he reads you the newspaper article about the Columbia County Library Budget. He looks cute.

Funny Cartoon

I know it has been awhile since I have blogged. I have shyed away from my blog since Jack was diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease. I was a bit unsure how much of that experience I wanted to post about, so I ended up not blogging at all. So I'll leave you tonight with this:
