Madeline and the Christmas Tree

The reason we have Baby Jail?  Here it is:





The first section where Madeline is in her white Christmas tee was the day we put up the tree.  We had been telling her not to touch it all day so when she shook her head "no," it was perfect.

And do you see how much more she walks in a week?!  Walking is now her primary mode of getting around, no more scooting!  In case I haven't bragged enough, her PT is thrilled with her progress.  :)

The Perfect Fall Photo

Photography is subjective, right?

This photo was taken at last year's Thanksgiving.  The turkey weighed more than Madeline.

I love this photo because there is a bit of humor along side a beautifully set Thanksgiving table at Nonna's house.  Those are my great grandmother's dishes, by the way.


 Another favorite Fall Photo is of Ellie on her first trip apple picking in 2008.  The light is shining through the tall orchard trees and I just love that this moment was frozen in time. 

Ellie wore an apple shirt and jeans with apple designs on the knees.  The other pickers could not believe that she had on an apple outfit at the orchard.  It baffled me.  All of those clothes they sell in the fall with apples all over them?  Where else are you supposed to wear them?


PS Although it's technically still Fall, it's snowing as I type this.


Thanks to Mama Kat for inspiring me to dig out these photos from before I was blogging!

{not quite} Solitary Confinement

With our halls being decked, Madeline is finding herself a little more confined these days. We can't risk an entire artificial Frasier Fir toppling down on small children and even moms have to use the potty at some point during the day.

This is what I found when I looked up from emptying the dishwasher today:




Love those sisters!
