Welcome baby James! We love you so much already!

More Dance Moves from Mac

Mac's new dance moves. He kept Arden screaming with belly laughter for somewhere around 20 minutes earlier today. Brad caught the same moves later on video. You can barely hear music, but it's there.

Such a 21st Century Kid

Mac's latest pretend game? Recycling. Here is the game:

1. Empty shoe-box sized plastic toy bucket (the recycling bin).

2. Fill up bucket with miscellaneous items (items to be recycled).

3. Toss the items into closet (the recycling truck).

4. Nonchalantly toss the empty toy bin to the side in the room (the same way the man who picks up our recycling does).

He came up with this entirely on his own and never tires of it.

Tonight while making supper...

Mac: Mom, are you making a FEAST?

(Where on earth did he learn the word, "feast"?)

Me: Well...You might think it's a feast. I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Mac: (The child is SO literal!) I want to look at it!! Mom, let me look at it!

In other news, we've taken close to 300 photos trying to get a good one for a Christmas picture (over the course of a week). We're working on it. I think I have a finalist...it has 2 children, not crying, looking in the general direction of the camera, entire faces are in the frame, in focus. Smiles? Who needs smiles? (Who gets smiles, simultaneously, from a 1 and 3 year old?? And how??)
