The Cox Family Christmas

A quick trip to Bettendorf yesterday...cookies and presents, cookies and presents. The kids loved it! So one Christmas under our belts...and Michael asking when Santa is coming every morning!

Oh, and here's a funny Michael quote from last week: "Huh. A pertz worked it's way into my underpants." His body awareness needs work.

Preschool Holidays

We went to Michael's preschool holiday party today. Lots of kids and lots of little brothers and sisters and lots of parents...many many people essentially overwhelming the room that is perfect for 20 or so children! The kids had fun and I heard "This is the best party ever!" more than once. To be fair to all other parties, it was 10:45 am and we were letting them eat cookies and fudge and chocolate covered pretzels.

Here is Michael with his two teachers: Fran, with who Michael is sort of intensely "sniffing" a puppy, and Jennifer. The little girl is Caitlin, who Michael claims is his girlfriend. They did hold hands at the Halloween party. Her mother and I have discussed it and we think that that's as far as it's gotten. Although Caitlin did invite us to McDonalds today.





Ahh, Sleepy Babies

Could there be anything better than tired babies relaxing (daddy being the lucky beneficiary today) or a sleepy boy just up from a long nap? The rosy cheeks and the mussed hair...yummy. Until he starts singing songs like (to the ABC tune), "Megdee Pegdee, I don't like you, H I J K L M N O P..."

Old, but Too Cute not to Post

These are from Gretchen and Jakes' wedding...







The Littlest Samauri

Megan loves to have things draped around her while she walks around...clothes from the laundry room, Michaels' baseball hat, underwear, etc. I have decided that we are in favor of decency (and afraid of people stopping by with Megan wearing undies on her head), so I have started letting her wear my scarves, in spite of being slightly worried about strangulation. This particular scarf is a little too long and we have to tie it back...very Tom Cruise.
