Funny Family Moments

These are just some funny pictures I captured over the weekend. First is Grace showing Shelby how to eat her Thanksgiving dinner, and adding some of her "leftovers" to Shelby's plate. Those two girls stuck close to each other all day!

Ember and Ben learned how to play Dad's favorite computer game, Unreal Tournament. It's your basic shoot-em-up game, and they were having a blast. Thankfully the game has a "low gore" setting, so they just laughed when they shot each others' heads off.

Grace went bike riding and Ember helped her get all decked out in her safety gear. This all belongs to Ember, but she's outgrown it and decided Grace needed it more. Those tricycles can get pretty crazy, after all.

Ben and his cousin Chase spent Thanksgiving day reading over 30 Spiderman comic books. They were comparing their favorite scenes, villians, and pictures. They were there for a long time! It hasn't worked since that day, Ben doesn't hold still for more than 15 seconds at a time.

More of Shelby and Grace; they were playing ring around the rosie, and falling down is their favorite part.


Today Grace asked me if she could have a banana for a snack. Then she just sat at the table holding it for a long time. I finally asked her what was wrong and she said it was "too peeled." She tried to re-wrap it in the banana peel, and when that didn't work, she decided to feed it to her nativity toys. She said her friends were hungry.


I love my kids, and all the different ways they make me smile every day.

It is funny how Ember and Ben actually know what they are doing with lap tops. We wouldn't have known where to start. And Grace knows how to share at such a young age! I wonder sometimes if with age comes wisdom, or if more wisdom comes to those of younger and younger ages! tee hee!

HOOOOOORAY!!! I love it! I am so glad Grace and Shelby are so close. Especially since sweet baby Grace played part in the decision to have Shelby.
