Dennie Kids: January 4, 2009 (+ Tara's Birthday celebrations begin)

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)
  • Graham has forgotten his good sleeping habits - he took a bottle at midnight and was up an hour later; he got to visit the den again but then slept until Robby woke him up for church. We think it's his teeth & gums bothering - got to have some reason even if he is only 5 months
  • Church and then to Grannymom & Grandpa's for lunch. We celebrated Tara's birthday, which is Tuesday, with Mexican food and Oreo Delight!
  • Afternoon naps and then back to church early (Dad had a meeting but we got to play with Pops and see Grannymom & Grandpa before going to class.
  • Dinner at Wendy's and then home to bed

  • Bananas for breakfast and playing all over the house
  • Playing in our big Thomas tent
  • A quick lunch and then delivering Grandpa's cookies
  • Reagan wearing her Minnie Mouse dress all day long-she is so excited about seeing Minnie

Dennie Kids: January 2, 2009

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)
  • Graham waking up again last night-Mom decided it was easier to feed him than let him cry (but not tonight...maybe)
  • Reagan and Anderson playing at Nonna's this morning
  • Graham going to his Nutrition Center visit-he weighs 16 pounds and 1 ounce and is 24 and 3/4 inches long. And he does NOT like brain lab (actually, he was a little fussy most of the day-Mom thinks it is his teeth)
  • The whole family taking an afternoon nap
  • Finishing out Gingerbread House-better late than never. Reagan and Anderson ate so much of the candy that it is a wonder we have any candy on the house

  • Helping Mom start making a gingerbread house - lots of steps, we only got the walls and roof on today. We'll decorate tomorrow hopefully.
  • Lunch at Grannymom and Grandpa's - hog jowl & black eyed peas plus some yummy chocolate cake. Reagan & Lilly playing in our new Cinderella dresses Grannymom bought us
  • Afternoon naps
  • Supper at Larry's Pizza with Laryn, Alicia, and Shannon's families. We had tons of fun eating and playing all the games. We stayed almost 4 hours! We almost fell into bed when we got home.
