Davis had a lot of fun singing this all day

Hey I was looking for stuff to delete from my hard drive at work and I ran across these videos. Thought you might like to check them out. ~Pop

Winter pics and vids

A few weeks ago Elle and Seb had a checkup. Eleanor weighed in at 20.5 lbs. and Seb at 18.5. We have a delicate flower and a little bruiser on our hands. Seb thinks that Eleanor is hilarious. He's always watching her and laughing.

Elle loves walking with her hands in her pockets
Elle confiscated our upstairs neighbor's fruit display - continuing her pocket obsession. They let us take some home - we gave it back the next day when she wasn't watching.



This is how Amber distracts Eleanor while Gabe teaches Seminary in the living room. One boot?

Mom's night out in Port Washington. Dads were forced to stay home with the kids against their wills.
Elle's two favorite librarians: Karen and Fran
Waiting on the front porch for dad to come home.

Seb's a good sport. Elle dumped her unwanted cheerios on him on the way home from church.



Gabe bought a train for Amber when he was in Grafenwoher, Germany. It was a hit.



Elle's usual welcome when Gabe gets home. It's a big ego boost for him.



Our friends from church taught their 3-year-old son to memorize John 3:16. Impressive!



Here's an old video from the summer at Central Park Zoo. We still like to sing this song with Elle and Seb. Enjoy.

Luz, Fran and others

Snuggle

Luz and Fran hanging out with Auntie Sarah. I love the looks on their faces in this pic.

"Abrasos" from Luz

"Besos"..."MMMah!"

New hat from Aunt Melissa

"I LOVE MY NEW HAT!!!"

Luz just learned how to CHEESE

Hi Mom! I have a...

SURPRISE!

So pretty at 4 months

Fran has learned how to yell. Her she is in action.

Auntie Sarah is teaching Franny the "finer" things in life

Dance Party at Amelia's

Name this tune...

Noah's keyboard has "Happy Birthday" as a sample. They had been playing it for a while, and then we noticed that Liz was singing it! The video is weird because I had to tape her on the DL... Is she cute or WHAT!

BAILAMOS-SHALL WE DANCE

Lucy has been going crazy ever since she started feeling better. Here she is in fine form last night dancing to her little toy. She really loves the show!

Winter fun and videos from Amelia

Hi everyone! Here are some snapshots I wanted to post before time got away from me.

Davis and Luz playing in the snow at my house. Don't worry. The child lying lifeless in the back is okay. After I started CPR, I realized she was only doing snow-angels.

L-R Jenni (Mel tends her),Luz, Mel, Davis, Sofia

Davis' new thing is to answer every question with "I don't know", and then the response. Why do kids do this? It's funny every time.

Second try

Paul and Fran got new Aggie shirts for Paul's birthday

Snuggle

Fran has started laughing a LOT

Luz gives "besos" with an audible "Mmmm-uh!"

Luz making us laugh at my house. She also says "Francesca" (It sounds like, "Ban-cheh-cha")

Franny is eager to sit up on her own. Every time I let her grasp my fingers, she tries to get up. We like the funny face she makes while trying.

Happy New Year

Oh Heeeeyyy! How the heck are you?

Oh really?? That's interesting.

What? How are we?? Oh, I'm glad you asked. Let me tell you all about our holidays.

You might want to grab a snack and sit down for this one. Here goes...

True love! Elle has a habit of loving Seb, perhaps, too much. It's really cute, though, I promise.
