Breakfast Theater

A regular theatrical performance for Cooper and Claire at mealtime.

Snowy Day

Hoorray! White stuff has fallen from the sky and everyone here in Carolina freaks out! No school today - wouldn't want to drive on wet roads - besides, all the drivers would be watching the phenomenon known as "snow". How on earth do they function up north?
Look! A snowman family! We used up all the snow that had fallen in three counties to make our little family.

Emma - lda Marcos

A princess can never have too many pairs of shoes. Nine pairs and counting... now, which to wear to the royal ball?

A crazy night...

Roasting marshmallows, swinging, preparing supper, enjoying the chiminea, and weathering "fussy o'clock" made this for one crazy night. But it was fun! Anna and Luisa came over to help us roast and taught us that "brown sugar" on our marshmallows was better than the burned version that we were so good at making.

TEETH!

How do you like them apples?
Actually, even though I have teeth, they don't let me have apples, yet. I guess I will just have to do with applesauce. Cooper doesn't have any teeth yet. Probably best as the only thing they have caused is pain and suffering for everyone.

A warmish day

Playing outside in the playhouse on a warmish winter day. Cooper loved playing with Emma in the playhouse, but Claire was not so happy. I don't think she trusted the arcitectural integrity of the structure.

New seating arrangement...

Now we can sing the family song while eating.... We're all together again, we're here, we're here! These seats are so much better than bumbos or the highchair, and look - the parts that hold them on the table are little hippos - just like Coop (AKA our little Cooperpotomus)!
