Megan

This is Megan's masterpiece which she worked on for 2 days.  She was so proud of the finished product and has taped it to her closet door in her bedroom.

A little mother all ready to take her baby on a walk...as you can see, a mother can never have too many bags!

Best Buds

 

Jordan met Diego in preschool last year and they have been best friends ever since.  Unfortunately they go to different schools and are in different wards, but we still try to get them together as often as we can because they love playing together.  

Megan wanted to get into the action on this shot!!!

Snow Day

We were surprised to wake up to snow this morning and had lots of fun playing in it.  As you can see, we made snow angels, built a snowman, made slushies with grape pop and had a snowball fight.  Megan took the last picture and I was surprised when I downloaded the pictures that she actually got a decent shot with people in it.  Usually the pictures she takes are of herself because she turns the camera around the wrong way.

Sick Megan

Miss Megan has been sick for a long time.  After getting over a cold, she came down with a 24 hour case of the stomach flu, which was no fun at all and let's just say it resulted in a full change of clothing and bedding for both her and I in the middle of the night, which Andrew miraculously slept through.  Luckily he's a morning person and took over at the crack of dawn when Jordan bounced out of bed so I could get some much needed sleep.  After getting over the flu she came down with another case of the cold.  This is what I've been seeing the past couple of weeks......

 

 As you can see, she also has a couple of hangnails which she wanted band-aids on.  She wore the band-aids for a few days and would scream whenever I talked about taking them off.  Finally, when they started to smell and I noticed that she was writing with the wrong hand because of them I convinced her that it was time for them to go.

Luckily, we have had some happy moments!!!

Here's a couple of things about Megan that I wanted to document so I don't forget them.

•   When Andrew's "Street Rodder" magazine came in the mail this month Megan excitedly exclaimed, "Look Mommy, it's Daddy's potty book!"
• As we were leaving the dentist's office, Jordan accidentally released his balloon they had just given him for being such a good patient.  He became very upset and while he was crying Megan said, "It's okay Jordan, that balloon can be for Marianne."   His tears instantly stopped and he said, "You're right Megan, that's a good idea." As we all watched the balloon rise higher and highter, it just made me smile and shed a little tear at the same time.  I love to hear my kids talk about her even though it makes me sad knowing how very little they actually got to know her. 
  
  

General Grievous

Here's some shots of Jordan in action doing his General Greivous moves.  He's informed me that he actually needs 4 lightsabers to be a true General Greivous. I'm not sure how he would manage that, but I'm sure he would find a way.  He is one Star Wars crazed little boy!!!

Family Night Singing

I thought I would get Andrew to take videos of the kids singing during family night since this is one of the most favorite sounds to my ears.
