Dear Talkers,

You babble lots these days and sign dog whenever you see Harry Potter.  William, when you watch Signing Time, you now sign what you see quite a bit of the time.  Grace, you watch the signs intently and with great interest.  You both hug now and when asked for a hug, you come and tug tight!

Mommy took the week off and we played, took Harry for a walk around the neighborhood, and you wore her out!  When Elizabeth or Natasha were at the house, Mommy managed to get to filing, moving files around, organizing cards and gift lists into a box.  She was tempted to take down the tree but with all the work to put it up and it still soaking up water, it remained up this week.  

Dada joined Mommy and Grace for breakfast this week at Patty's.  Grace, you ate very well, eating a huge blueberry muffin and a little bit of eggs ... and of course, milk.  It was a nice time!  Later, we drove to Kennebunk to celebrate Christmas with Aunt Lu-Lu and Aunt Pool.  You both were well behaved.  William, you wanted to pull the wine bottles down and Grace, you were fascinated with the wood mallards.  They gave you Swarovski animals -- duck and turtle and books!  Mommy and Dada have a beautiful painting of Monhegan Island!  

You both are getting tricky -- Houdini-like -- so Elizabeth tightened the highchair straps.  

Mike started painting the side hall and stairs - yea!  The area is looking better!

Off to play more.

Love,

Dada and Mommy
