Friends

Over Thanksgiving, I was able to get together with some of my good friends from high school. In this picture is Mary, Justine, and Justine's cute little boy Emerson. It was so great to get caught up with these two! We were friends all 4 years of high school and played field hockey and JV soccer together.
Laurel and Elena were so excited to see each other. It was almost impossible to get a good picture of both of them because they were so hyper to get to play together. We'll have to arrange a longer playdate the next time we are in town.
Caleb and Elena decided to have a camp-out last Thursday. He grabbed toys and books and she ran to her room for "sleeping bags" and pillows. They had so much fun playing in the tent. I love watching their pretend play. They make each other meals, they play house, they play monster and monster-hunter, and lots of other games that they make up as they go along.
When Elena and Kevin got their pictures taken with Santa Claus (the pic is on my mom's camera), we received coupons to Build-a-Bear. Granny and Granddad decided that they couldn't pass up this chance, so Kevin and Elena got to make and bring home 2 new friends: Chocolate Bear and Sugar Plum Green (both were named by E). It is a very cute store; I can see how they stay in business. :)

Kevin: 5 Months

We love this kid!
Kevin now has a tooth. And I am happy to report that he drools much less and is sleeping better again now that tooth #1 is here.
He LOVES to eat cereal. He cries and coughs between bites.
This was his first time sitting in the high chair. He only sat straight for a couple of minutes, but it won't be too long before he gets to eat dinner with us in his very own chair!

I noticed this scene the other day after Elena went to bed:
Wouldn't sweet Mary have preferred this to riding on a donkey?
