New Easter baskets

Saturday, March 14, 2009
Our first snow day was fun. Selah stood outside on the porch - with her ever-present best friend "bankbet" as she calls it.


Then the cold days just get to be loonnggg days, and we end up searching for everything we can to entertain - like Charis loading Selah up and pulling her around the house in the little wagon.

New Easter baskets are soooo exciting. What could we do with them? I know, put them on our heads and call them a hat! :-)

This one is for Nana to see the pink dress she's wearing to church tomorrow. She loves her hand-me-downs from our neighbor!


That belly is straining at her strawberry shortcake top - she's in 90% for her height and about to shoot up again!

New Shades

Friday, March 13, 2009
Gotta wear shades! Charis and Selah love getting cards from paw-paw because it means a trip to Target to get important things for any girl - like new shades! Charis has so much fun dressing up - and especially when Charis is in the mood for dressing Selah. This can be hillarious. I'm not what it will look like when they are 13 and 11 instead of 3 and 18 months....


I feel like singing that song from "White Christmas" - Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow! (lucky for you that you don't actually have to hear me!) From COLD to warm to wet, cold and rainy...we're ready for Easter and Resurrection Sunday for more than one reason!



Ear infections and all, we had to go out to play for a few minutes with the snow so perfect for making snowballs. Of course, Charis just wants to eat it (calls it "icing") and Selah was contect to let C feed her!






One day we're wearing layers and digging in the snow and a few days later we're in shorts and flip flops - much to Charis' flip-flop loving heart's delight!






Sweet Selah

Poor little sickly girls - they each had an ear infection (both ears for Selah) and felt bad during our second snow storm of the year! Imagine - stuck inside for 5 days with feverish, miserable preschoolers while it's 40 degrees outside....what memories :-) We're grateful to be feeling better now!






Charis the Fairest



Charis the ballerina and Charis the Cool Easter Bunny! She is a happy, girly-girl!








Story Time

Saturday, January 31, 2009


















We like books and trips to the library! Especially when they can't get along, praise the Lord that sometimes they can sit beside each other and be "together" and at peace with a good picture book.

Going to Bethlehem


Charis has been hooked on the Christmas story since November, and lately that means lining up her dolls and toys to go to Bethlehem and lay Jesus in the manger (doll carrier). Oddly enough, she has dubbed Selah Moses, and takes her along for the ride! (Oh, and I'm Elizabeth and have my own baby John to carry!) Sometimes "3" is a more fun year than others...
