We went to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. We had a nice time, but it was hard to see how much my mom’s health has declined. We also got to visit with Lisa and her boys, Justin and Ryan. My friend, Julie, also stopped by after Thanksgiving with her boys, Todd, Kody and Derek.
Chris got me a new digital camera for an early (and only) Christmas gift. Rebeckah and I have been picture-taking fools ever since then. I love the fact that I now have a camera with me all of the time. Before I was using Chris’ work camera, so I didn’t have one when he was at work. Of course, that is when the best photo opportunities happen! Rebeckah has also enjoyed my camera because she wants to be a photographer. She is always posing people or taking pictures of stuff around her.
I have been meaning to write down all of the funny/cute things Sean has said lately, but I keep forgetting. Here are a few that I remember:
~~ “Hey, you know what?!? I can’t see my face!”
~~ After Austin lost another tooth, we asked Sean if he is looking forward to losing his teeth. Sean told us, “No, I like the teeth I have!”
~~ When I was trying to burp Preston, Sean asked why Preston was fussy. I told him he has a bubble in him and I am trying to help him get it out so he feels better. Sean asked me, “If you don’t get the bubble out, will Preston explode?!?”
~~ One day Sean was running all over the place driving me crazy, so I told him “Sean you are driving me nuts!!” He came over, gave me a big hug and said “I love you too mommy!!”
That is all I can remember for now. Here are a several pictures Rebeckah and I have taken with my new camera (the pictures are from newest to oldest):

your pics are great! I really like some of them, like the one with Rebeckah and Preston at the park with her back to the camera and the baby is looking at the camera. And the one she took of the pond at the park and the driveway at your parent's house, very artsy! She has a natural talent there! and the other one of those two at the park, she is so pretty!
And I love how your baby pics have the baby's age on the cards in the pics, so cute!
I'm laughing at your Seanisms! Hilarious!
The pics are great! I really should take more pics....your kids are going to love having a pictorial history when they are grown.
