Pictures?

I haven't used our camera in days, but I've been meaning to. Sorry Mom and Dad and all the rest of the family on the west coast.

How about some pictures from last week Tuesday (11/28) to cheer up the post?

Aunt Alice sent some gifts in the mail for Cosette's birthday and some things for Henri too. While Henri was digging the construction site pop-up book, Cosette was most interested in climbing on top of the box the packages came in and sitting there.

Our next project is to get a family picture for Christmas. Nothing fancy. Probably just setting the timer on our camera and hoping for the best.

I spent yesterday evening following Cosette up and down our stairs. She loves climbing up and down them, and we've been trying to get her used to turning around and sliding down on her tummy. I'll remind her to turn around and go feet first, and she'll rock back and forth moving out her feet, seemingly confused as to how to accomplish the task at hand.

While I climbed stairs with Cosette, Johnny & Henri shoveled our sidewalks and sled down the hill in our backyard.

We're also trying to get Henri & Cosette used to sleeping in the same room at night. It's the 2nd night and so far so good. They did wake up a little earlier than usual this morning and at the same time. Cosette's been sleeping in a pack 'n' play for a year now either in our room or the room with our computer, and I'd love for her to sleep in her crib.

Part 4 of my family's house fire is almost done.
