Monday's Visitors

Our darling daughter called Sunday evening right after we'd gotten home from our Vegas trip and asked if she could bring the family up for a visit on Monday while Dallas went to a computer class. Only problem with that was I had absolutely no food in the house to cook for dinner, so it was a quick scramble to the grocery store the next day to stock up.


It appears that Brooke likes the potatoes that I bought. She can open the pantry door by herself now and anything in there becomes her toy--like for instance this potato (and several others that I later found up in Sarah's room and good thing I found them before they started rotting and stinking). She also found some lima beans and was playing with those. Whatever keeps her happy...???


She's getting pretty good at speaking the prayer on the food and she even keeps her eyes closed during the whole prayer. I know because I watched her.


After dinner, Glen and Dallas entertained Brooke in the basement--eating popcorn--while Rebecca and I rook Caroline across the street to visit with Andrea and see her new baby.


Here's one of Caroline's "tummy time" poses. She's getting bigger and stronger every day.


Before we know it, she'll be raiding the pantry right along with her big sister.

You found potatoes in Sarah's room?! Better check the hamper next to the bathroom; that's another favorite hiding spot...

I love it when kids play with items that are totally not toys, Emma is great at that. We have never had potatoes as a plaything yet, hmmmm maybe for Christmas.

Not only did you have your eyes open during the prayer, but you had the camera out and ready to go?

Get that camera on video so we can hear the little jabber box!
