New Year's cookies from master cookie decorator, Dede.

| Loving the new keyboard. Campbell recently figured out how to play the beginning of Take Me Out to the Ballgame by ear. |
 |
| Hard. Very hard. I finally was able to bring myself to go through the girl baby clothes since we won't be having another girl. Going through those itty bitty girl clothes was emotional and I cried quite a bit. So many memories of Campbell in those sweet little outfits, especially the dresses. I saved a couple things and we filled up the van and delivered all girl clothes through size 3T to Mariah. |
 |
| Miles has started taking off his own diaper in the morning. He marched downstairs one morning and got right to work vacuuming. Next we will work on putting pants on. |
 |
| More early morning chores. He usually runs to get his earphones when the vacuum comes out. |
 |
| Got to go see the rebuilt engine. Not exactly excited about the cost, but will be nice to have a working boat again and (fingers crossed), no more problems! |
Gabe put in shelves into the front entry closet. I'm so happy to have a handy, all in one place for all my craft/wrapping stuff. Campbell took an interest in the knitting bin and learned how to loom knit. She made a fun hat for Miles out of scraps of yarn and tiny little hat for the new baby.
Miles plays with his Magna-Tiles every singe day. He has a routine of getting PJ's on and playing before bed and then it's the first thing he does every morning.

| Campbell found a recipe for BLT dip and made it for us for Sunday football. It was so good! She sure is turning into quite the hostess. |
Campbell's WINGS class had a unit on inventions, which was right up her alley. She had so many good ideas like a bunk bed tent and a pickle scoop to get pickles out of a jar easily without all the juice. She decided to make an Egg Crusher to help Nana crush her egg shells for fertilizer for the garden.
Working on digging out a rock and a making a cello out of nano Legos from stockings from Nana & Papa's house.
 |
| Day off school. Their first choice is to go see Daddy and eat at their favorite restaurant, Cargill. |
 |
| Campbell's birthday card for Grammy. |
 |
| Gabe wanted to go look at a lot on Vermilion, so he took Miles to spend the night with Nana & Papa and Campbell to Grammy & Papa's. Blake and I had a really nice time just the two of us. |
 |
| I have a picture just like this of Blake doing the same thing. |
Gabe had a work dinner, so while I was reading a book to Blake, Campbell dressed up Miles. He doesn't even look like the same kid. Those pigtails, fake nails, sparkly slippers, belly, handsome dude PJ's - cracks me up. He was very proud of himself and kept saying, "I'm handsome!" Blake wanted to get into the action, so put on his "tux". Then Campbell orchestrated a proposal. Miles had a ring box, got down on one knee and said to Blake, "Sweetie, will you marry me."
