Everyone in our home is finally healthy after taking turns with cold & flu bugs. We're crossing our fingers and hoping that it stays that way. Nathan leaves for Alabama for a training for the Air National Guard for 5 weeks.

Ammon has been facinated with creating monsters for months now, and recently began creating snowmen too. He is very particular about the # of fingers that his snowmen have on each hand, the # of holes in each button (for the eyes), the size of the carrot (for the nose) and the # of stones and colors used (for the mouth). He is very much a perfectionist and is very frustrated when the drawing don't measure up to his expectations. I can honestly relate to his frustration as I can be the same way with things, but having Ammon in my life has really helped me to mellow out.

Maddie Sue loves shoes and walks around trying to wear everyone's. It's adorable watching her trying to walk in my shoes! She does pretty good considering how tiny her little feet are inside a size 9 women's shoe.

What a mess!
