Cool Shades, My Dears

New Year, New Camera

Happy New Year, everyone!

Our old camera has been dropped, from a height, onto its lens. Poor old thing. Not worth the 300 bucks to fix the damage, it being all of five years old. So in with the new!

In interested speech news around here, Ruby has completely stopped using conjunctions. So, instead of saying, "I don't know.", we get "I do not know." "I cannot find it." "I did not do it." This is very cute, and very strange. I am going to see how long it is before Fiona adopts this little mannerism. I do not know how long it will take.

Happy Day!

Merry Christmas!

Mr. Happy Shaker Guy

Mr. J. Jumper

HA! When creating the title for this post I typed "Mr. J. Humper". Which would be a very different video, I think. But here you go, if you need to watch some jumping:




Enjoy!

Monsieur le Pew

Not the first skunklet to walk down our front path, but the only one to do so bipedally.

Time, Flying

Well. It is almost a month since we took this photo of Ruby Cat. Three sick kids, one kid getting tooth after tooth, very little sleeping for the blogging mama for several weeks results in not so many posts here. But I needed to show you this cute kitty. Tune in again soon for a small and very cute skunk.

ps - Henry has been working on saying "more" for a couple of weeks now, but today it came out loud and clear when I wasn't fast enough with the yogurt/frozen blueberry concoction he loves. MORE.

pps- While I was upstairs nursing Henry before his nap this afternoon, I could hear the girls playing. They had a CD of Christmas songs on (their favourite) - Let it Snow was playing - and Fiona was saying, "If we can just get a few more balloons cut to hold our fingers together we can be VAMPIRES and then it will NOT BE GOOD for this house!" It was a complicated moment.
