Christmas Morning

Snow in St Louis

We've been here almost two weeks, this is our first snow.  Can you tell that we don't have any proper snow gear?

Thanksgiving in Virginia 2008

We had such a nice time staying at (Great) Grandma's house.  Thomas and Laura were there and the Ekarts visited on Saturday.  Wilson is a fan of "The Ekart Boys" just like Margaret.  He wanted to be right in the middle of all the action.  It looks like he was hitting the cooking wine by the end of the trip.  The movers come tomorrow to pack us for St Louis!  Happy Birthday to Jeff...

Bright Star

Margaret's class had the cutest Thanksgiving play at school today.  The whole family watched the show in her classroom and then had a Thanksgiving dinner with all the other families and children in the school cafeteria.  Margaret's teachers picked "Bright Star" to be her Native American name.  Christ Presbyterian School is definitely one of the things we will miss most about Nashville!

New Day

What a difference a day makes... 

Happy Family

We were playing outside and having a great time until I decided to try to get a picture of both kids to send in out Christmas card.  As soon as I took out my camera, things looked like this...

Jam Session

Max came to play this afternoon.  He and Margaret had a great time and put on quite a show.

Halloween 2008

We had a fun Halloween night in the neighborhood.  Margaret ran everywhere she went to see how far she could make her cape fly out.  Wilson had a great time riding along and watching the big kids.  He was happy as long as no one tried to make him wear the hood part of his costume.  My favorite part was coming to a spooky house with music, smoke, crazy lights, etc.  None of the boys would go ring the bell.  We said, go for it Margaret and she said "Here Mom, hold my sucker," before she headed up the driveway.  Supergirl indeed!  I love that she's so brave. 

Halloween Dance Show

Margaret's dance class had a "costume parade" today that was really a little recital.  They were adorable and Margaret did a great job, she was the first one on the floor.  The only one not decked out as a princess, and the most spunk by far!  Her favorite part was yelling "TRICK OR TREAT!"  She's been practicing that in the car on the way home for the last few weeks, (it was not Wilson's favorite part.)

Goose Egg

Margaret fell out of the car this morning and fell right on her head.  True to her tough nature, she pretty much brushed it off and was thrilled to wear a BIG band aid.

Margaret fell out of the car and onto the driveway, landing on her head!  She shed a few tears, but true to her tough nature she pretty much brushed it off.  She was excited to wear an extra big band aid.
