A Christmas Story

MOM reads to the Twins. Okay, it is not the Christmas story, but at least it was a story and they sat there for the entirety of it. Or most of it.


By the way, that is the Family's first piece of furniture. Dad has yet to enjoy it.









Just now, Dad went to try it out. It is very comfortable.

"Where's Buggy?" Hears Giggles.

DAD walked by the inverted tote and thought he saw it move. He looked around to take inventory of the Twins. EJ was accounted for.



He called out, "Where is Buggy?"

The tote giggled. Eventually she revealed herself.

On Pointe

DAD could not react fast enough to catch it, but Leisel was on pointe for several seconds. She was walking around too. By the time Dad found his phone and got the camera app running, she was done. She would not entertain requests to do it again.


The jammies came from Aunt Lisa. Thank you Aunt Lisa!

Trimming the Tree

MOM and Dad decided to spend the evening decorating and trimming the tree. True to their toddler nature, after decorating they began to pull them down so Mom and Dad had to undecorate the breakable ornaments.

Heidi Burger

MOM offered to make a burger for Dad for dinner. She was truly inspired.




She toasted and buttered the Kaiser roll, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and topped the burger with crispy bacon and whole milk mozzarella cheese.

EJ's New Race Track

MOM bought an early Christmas gift for the kids. EJ finds it much more interesting than does Liesel.




Williams Sonoma Christmas

BEFORE Dad unpacked their stockings, he felt the need to decorate the mantle with something, but what? Oh this was too perfect.



Pretty creative Dad.

Well, They Are Stockings

BUGGY found his stocking. She pulled it down and put it on.



After a while, she asked Dad to give her hers. She put it on too.



"Don't touch the TV!"



New Post - Donna Please Let Heidi Know

HELLO New Family Readers. The kids are napping and Dad finally has some time to share new content. These posts will be brief.










Dad is tired of them climbing on the kitchen cabinets, the tables, the walls, him, so he set this up for them. After Christmas, Dad is going to build them a climbing wall in the basement.

Need to stop climbing the wrong stuff
