Presents

 

Amelia takes coloring seriously

 

Fun with a soccer ball and cousin Sophie

Just silliness

 

Fun in Grandma's chair

Amelia noticed that Grandma falls asleep in this chair in the evening.  She was pretending to be Grandma.  Very funny.  It wasn't funny when Amelia wouldn't fall asleep in the evening.  I wouldn't say she's the best traveler.

Christmas dresses

 

Reading with Mama

 

Another creative idea from Elizabeth

Everyone also got nametags or signs with ribbons to wear.  Lots of cutting and taping went on.  Two of Elizabeth's favorite things.

Grandpa playing Santa

Elizabeth came up with this beard idea.  It was very funny.

A Browns calendar for Papa

Apparently, not all the Browns trivia and facts are positive.  But what choice did the calendar makers have?  There are only a handle of positive things you can say about the Browns.  Actually, I can't even think of a handful.

Some Christmas posts (finally)

The girls love the new dollhouse from Santa.  We couldn't even get Amelia to stop playing with it to open her other presents.  They've been playing with it every day.  Good idea, Santa!

Just cute.

Horse or train?

Amelia says "chugga choo choo" while sitting on her Sisterbeth. Odd
all around.

2 girlies colorin'

Bet these two woulda beat the Steelers this week!

Heh heh.

Taken 30 seconds ago

iPhones are great. I took this and posted it within a minute. Live
blogging life.

Amelia coloring, feet crossed, just like a big girl.

Ellie acting out a scene from the bible

Just goofin' at the Big K

I prefer my toaster strudels with less icing than most people.

Ok, I just took this pic and don't know why. So now you just wasted a
minute of your life on it. Use your time a little more wisely, eh?

Girl and leaves -- a brief photo essay

Amelia wrote this "A"

Total coincidence. But I had to document it anyway.

I need to move back home

This was enough snow to snarl up Cincinnati for a morning. If I'm
gonna deal with traffic, I might as well get some real snow along with
it.

Amelia, pigtails & corn on the cob

Exchange with Amelia

A: Medicine.

Me: no, you don't get medicine.

A: sister did.

Me: well, sister has a cold.

Why am I having this argument with a baby?

Orders from Amelia

"Come on Papa. Draw hippo now."

"Come on Papa. Find lid now." She was looking for the cap of her
forehead thermometer. I didn't know she knew it could be called a lid.

I'm not sure why, but I'm finding these funny things to be told to do
by a 19-month-old.
