It's a busy, full week already and I don't foresee much time for blogging although I do really want to take some pictures of Miles and post them here so you can see how he's looking as a three month old.  For now I'll just briefly tell you what we're all up to.

Geary:  Teaching, grading, taking care of all of us by working on the house, yard, and van.

Jeana:  Mothering, graphic designing, jewelry making, and looking forward to spring break.

Noah: Sneezing, blowing his nose, and generally being miserable with a cold.  Poor little guy!

Toby:  Potty training, tricycle riding, and expanding his vocabulary.

Miles:  Nursing, growing, charming our socks off with his cute smile.

Linhart Miis

We were given a Nintendo Wii for Christmas and we've been having tons of fun with it. I thought you might like to see what our Wii selves (aka Miis) look like. Pretty cute, no?

Fingers Say

This morning Toby woke up early and climbed into bed with me. I tried to get him to fall asleep next me but he was content to just chatter in my ear. When he started the "What Does a {Insert Animal Here} Say?" game I groaned inwardly. He answered his first few questions on his own and then asked, "Mom, what does fingers say?"

"Nothing," I replied, hoping the game would end so I could have a few more minutes of precious sleep.

"Yeah do!" Toby insisted. He waved his hand, "Fingers say, 'Hello.'"

He crooked his finger, "Fingers say, 'Come here!'"

He outstretched his index finger and shook his hand, "Fingers say, 'Don't do dat!'"

And I couldn't help it. I started to giggle and delight in my boy. And thus began a precious morning and beautiful start to my day.
