Early Christmas

Our wonderful family

Outside for a walk in the snow.  

We're all holding a piece of ice from the blizzard.

Kids happy with their dad

Watch out Jeffrey!  Nathan with a toy knife!  

We tried really hard to make a snowman but the snow wasn't cooperating with us.  

So we made a spikey crab instead.  

Lastly, Abby's rosy cheeks :)

'I'm ready to have fun' face

'Can't resist me can you?' face

And of course a picture of Abby and her umbrella

Cookie likes bananas

My Furball

She's a furball and doesn't know it.  She hates being groomed but constantly sheds and has poop stuck to her bum.  She's my crazy rabbit, Foo Foo.

Look at all of Foo Foo's hair stuck to my shirt.

My letter opener

Jujube's father suggested I try out something like this with my bunnies.  

Hmm... I wasn't too sure if my bunnies would be interested at first.  Then I remembered how Cookie loves to bite things like my shoes, books, and any type of wire.  So I tried it with him.

So... he wasn't as efficient but he did the job.  And I forgot to mention that Cookie doesn't just bite stuff...he eats it too.  That's why he's my Cookie Monster.  He doesn't bite or eat people though :).  He's actually quite a lovable bunny and now also my letter opener.

Abby videos

Here are two videos of Abby.  I watch them over and over because they help to not miss her and my family so much.  Although I should've taken the videos at a higher resolution so they would've been more clear.  bummer.  Actually...I think watching these videos makes me miss them more.  

What's Nathan thiinking?

Are you seriously letting my crazy sister hold me???

Yeh...I know...I'm really this cute.

I love my sister...even though she can be a crazy girl.

Thanks Faith for the great pictures.

My week with Abby and Nathan

I like to call Nathan a Chunky Monkey. He's a happy little, chunky guy.

We were a bit worried about the bumbo because Abby had been very protective of it...pushing other kids out of it.  But when she saw Nathan sitting in it she said, "That's Nathan's now."  Great big sis.

Abby told me to sit in the swing because she wanted to push me. Sometimes I forget she's only 2 years-old.

Abby's turn.

Abby's dad bought her a bubble machine.  She loved it.

Abby likes to watch Kenzie

We were trying to inspire Abby to draw by letting her watch Kenzie.  Not sure if her drawing skills improved but she loved watching Kenzie and kept asking to watch her again and again :)

Happy Birthday Abby and hello Nathan

Foo Foo with paper stuck to her bum...or more likely stuck to the chunk of

poo that's stuck to her bum.

One of Cookie and Foo Foo's friends. They miss you Xioazhuzhu...

There's nobody to feed them treats anymore.

Jocie was also Cookie and Foo Foo's friend. They miss you too!

Foo Foo's big feet and fluffy clean bottom.

A tame Foo Foo? A tough exterior but she's just big bundle of fluff.
