Second Christmas with G&G Willett
Posted in Elizabeth, Family, Susanna, Tommy on Dec 22nd, 2012
The kids are going to be quite the Christmas experts by the end of the month…this week, we celebrated “Christmas morning” with Grandma and Grandpa, opening presents from them and Peter & Cammy. (John, yours arrived too late–we’ll do them on real Christmas morning.) I didn’t get many pictures, because I was mainly trying to […]

Susanna at 20 Months
Posted in Susanna on Dec 19th, 2012
I have to admit, these past few months have been a struggle with Susanna. I just looked back at Elizabeth’s 20 month update, and I seemed so fine with everything, even 6 months pregnant (and housebound with real winter!). Sigh. Susanna is definitely a different girl than her sister. She’s 20 months going on five, […]
“Snow” at the Zoo
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Susanna, Tommy on Dec 10th, 2012

Susie’s first sentence is “Do it!” As in, don’t help me–I can do it myself! Or, I’m old enough to do what the big kids are doing, too! She started saying it at the beginning of the week and has been saying it more and more each day. This girl sure is impatient to be […]
I wanted to post something today that’s not finished yet, so instead, here is Tommy’s handiwork: portrait of Susie doing stickers portrait of Susie eating dinner

What? Your girls don’t play outside in a tutu or sleeveless dress at the end of November?
Christmas Decorating
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Family, Susanna, Tommy on Nov 23rd, 2012
This year, we introduced Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Matthew to the joys of cutting down your own tree. Last year we walked down to the tree lot (just outside our subdivision) in flip flops and sweated buckets sawing and sawing at the tree. This year Derek literally had the whole tree cut in under […]
We’re stretching out Christmas this year, celebrating our first Christmas morning today with Grandma and Grandpa Muller and Uncle Matthew. Same Christmas pajamas as last year–they still fit in them (though Susie’s are a bit small)! Matching dresses! (And Elizabeth is relieved that she doesn’t have to share Betsy anymore!) Now I’m off to start […]
