Time Flies - November - December 08

Merry Christmas!
A bout of stomach flu slowed us down a bit this holiday season, but the girls were full of enough cheer for us all. Lilian was super excited about Santa's arrival this year. She was also very helpful putting up the tree. And, you'll see we made cookies and everything! These were the days when Jacintha (or "J" as she's often called) was content to stay put and play with whatever was given to her. Those days are over as you'll see in my next posting. But until then - enjoy the photos from the end of 2009!

At 7 months, Jacintha sits up straight and army crawls across the floor. She can pretty much get to anywhere she wants to go.

Christmas day at the Langs. Josh at the kids table with Austin, Hallie & Jordan.

Christmas Eve at Aunt Ramona's in N. Mpls.

First stop Christmas Eve - the Allen Family. Jaden, Lily & Joy were fast friends!

Jacintha & Ian meet.

Making gingerbread cookies for Santa. Lily's becoming quite the pro in the kitchen.

(This one's for you grandpa Binning!)

Below are photos from our Thanksgiving visit to Whitewater...

Jacintha gets to know her Wisconsin grandparents.

The cousins - Lilian, Jaden & Reece get cozy.

Some quality time with Aunt Judy

A visit to the horses down the road. Always a highlight to visiting the grandparents in the country.

Walking back from the horses, Lily tries out Jaden's scooter. "Mom, watch how fast I can go!"

Early November - A photo shoot with Kevin Davis.
(Lilian 4, Jacintha 6mo.)

James & Lily goofing around for the camera.

Not to be outdone, Jacintha goofs off too!

If you have the time, here's J nearing the end of her sitting still phase. It takes a while for the video to load so please be patient. It's worth the wait. :)
