Grace's First Babysitting Job!

Yesterday was Grace's last day off for her break, so since she didn't have school we were able to watch a friend's 10-week-old son. Grace very quickly decided that she was the babysitter for the day! Rachael was a little unsure at the beginning, but she warmed up to him very quickly -- the first thing she said when she woke up from her nap was, "Baby hug?"

Grace begged to hold our charge the whole morning, so after one of his naps I got out Rachael's Boppy and laid him on it. He started to squirm and Grace said, "I think he's hungry. Why don't you get me his bottle?" So...


When Rachael woke up, of course she wanted to help:


They were both so sweet with him! Definitely my little helpers!

Welcome to 2009, and...

Happy New Year from The Adorables!

The Christmas Spirit

Nothing can scare the Grinch out of you faster than preschoolers singing Christmas songs! We were treated to it twice in one week.


Here's Grace as we went on our way to her VPK Christmas program last week. Each of the VPK classes sang three songs, and in between each one they "skated" around the sanctuary. Grace skated, smiled, and sang. And for those of you that encountered the Rachael of Thanksgiving Week, I know you will be shocked to hear that she sat through the entire performance without a whimper!! It was wonderful! The only time she made noise was to shout out to her big sister! So sweet!

Then this past Sunday, the children's choirs at church had their concert. I actually have video of that, and I may try to upload it. Grace sang her heart out, every word was clearly enunciated. Many thanks go to Miss Shannon for bringing about this change!

Here are Grace and Faith before the concert. It doesn't get any cuter than this:
Rachael was in the nursery during the performance, but afterwards she came out to visit with Grace and her friends. She was fascinated by one of the trees in the church, and had to touch almost every ornament within her reach -- she was covered in glitter when she was done!
And this picture is to produce evidence of Rachael being Daddy's Little Girl. Like Chris, she doesn't seem to get cold very easily. It was VERY cold Sunday night, and as soon as she got outside she took her little jacket off!

Hope your holiday season has begun well!
