The kids found Buddy the elf taking a marshmallow bath in the bathroom sink this morning. Tonight I gave Gillian a bath. She climbed in the tub and looked around and said “Where are the marshmallows?” Last night I told Gillian it was bed time. Normally she gets up and runs to her room.

Today we went Christmas tree shopping with Uncle T, Aunt Missy, Mimi and Poppy. John loved the challenge of finding the perfect tree. He led Aunt Missy throughout the entire tree farm. After looking at what feels like every tree on the farm, we found our tree. The tree farm had a two part tag… Continue reading The perfect tree
Gillian is a good mommy to her babies. She feeds them, she rocks them, she swaddles them and pushes them around in her stroller. Lately I have noticed that when the babies are crying she rocks them and says “Relax.” The other night, Duncan wanted to play and was running around and barking at Daddy… Continue reading Gilly says relax

Today Daddy and I were upstairs watching football and decorating cookies. We could hear the kids in the basement playing and giggling. They sounded like they were having a good time, but we couldn’t see what they were doing.

Gillian has grown up a lot over the past week. Daddy and I are not sure if it was because we had nine days home with the kids so we were able to see it or if she is just at that stage. She is talking a lot more. She is more independent. She used… Continue reading Gillian and her book
