Faces of Christmas. In French.

December 28, 2010 By Mariah Leave a Comment

Christmas was so wonderful this year! The kids got spoiled. Not with the number of gifts, but it was just what they wanted.

Point for the parents!

We had a great visit with my sister in law and, as usual, watching the kids open their gifts and seeing those faces was priceless.

I would like to take this moment to thank Starbucks for being open on Christmas morning! It may be the wisest choice you made this year!

I have so much to share with you but will just show a few pics today.

Clayboy is our gamer…

Jude is our reader…I am so thrilled to see her get excited about the same books I did at her age.

Then there is Lala…

Well, what is Hannah? We are not completely sure yet, but we are still trying to figure her out.

I can tell you this much, she has no clue about foreign languages. This was our little conversation when I snapped this shot…

“Ooh, Hannah. What is it?”

“Hmmm. Miss Cookoo is Lookoo?”

“You mean Ms Coco is Loco?”

“Ms Coco is Loco? Ooooh… It’s in French!…”

See what I mean?

So was there a moment you remember from your Christmas this year? Did your kids get along? Did they give cheesy smiles on every photo taken? No? Just my kids I guess…

Jude

Juliane was my worst labor experience, hands down. Add the labor with it being winter in Detroit Michigan during the beginning of a snow storm and you have a night you will never forget.

I could retell the details but if you have been in labor, you know what it is like . If you have not been in labor, I do not want to scare you off from experiencing the joy yourself:)

But then, just like the first labor I went through, when you see that face…

I will never forget that moment.

She was going to be my girl and if the labor was any indication, she was gonna be a feisty one.

Her face was perfect.

She had this full head of hair.

Her eyes would just stare at you and she soaked you in and in return I soaked her in too.

Nine years later she is still my girl.

She is still beautiful.

Happy Birthday Jude

First Day of School

August 24, 2010 By Mariah Leave a Comment

Well it is here again. The first week of school. I would post some pics of them in their new little Justice outfits but if you’ve seen one FDOS picture, you have seen them all!

So I will just show you what I saw about 5 minutes after “aww. But we aren’t tired…” on the first day of school. I would show you what Clay looked like, but he just was not as cute as the girls:)
