My Newest Cousin(s)

After a flurry of births this winter, I'm proud to say that I have several new cousins. Above is Katherine, who I got to meet (or see, at least) over Thanksgiving in NC. She's pretty cute, now that she's not so newborn...

This is a picture of my newest cousin, Margret Ashley Welch, or "Baby Maggie".

Uncle Bo & Aunt Theresa are doing fine, and I can't wait to meet this new addition to the cousins world. I would comment on the inherent cuteness of this baby as well, but let's face it: most little white newborns all look the same for the first few weeks. I'll save the compliments for a more meaningful age this Spring. I'm sure it was a very Merry Christmas in these houses

Breakfast Table Conversation

Lydia: "Daddy went to work."

Mommy: "Yup.  Daddy went to work."

L:"We need to go to the store to get milk."

M: "That's right.  We're out of milk."

L: "Daddy didn't have any milk for his cereal."

M: "Right. We need to go to the store today."

L: "And buy cookies."

M: "Maybe"

L: "And buy chocolate."

M: "I think we have enough chocolate."

Pause.....

L: "I'm going to work."

M: "Oh really.  Where do you work?"

L: "I work at Trick or Treat......and I get candy."

M: "Hmmmm."

Another Pause......

L: "There's ants in my oatmeal."

M: "There are not ants in your oatmeal."

L: "There's ants in my oatmeal."

M: "Those aren't ants.  It's just part of your oatmeal."

L: "I don't eat ants."

M: "Those aren't ants.  It's oatmeal. Just eat it."

L: "I don't eat ants."

M: sigh.

Fishin' & the Flux'

This was a great weekend....Daddy took me fishing, while poor Will stayed home with a not-so-mild case of acid reflux.

California can be pretty scenic at times...

But I'm busy trying to figure this thing out.

Poor little man can't wait for some PREVACID.

This is the fish I caught. I was so proud to have reeled him in all by myself. My daddy told me that plastic fish are common to these parts, and I can expect to catch one that looks exactly like this until I'm at least five.

Worn out

Recently, I had some interesting adventures. Let me explain...

First I rolled some chicken & Dumplins with my Mommy...

 

Then I grew a pair of wings and was awkwardly excited about it

Flying turned out to be fun (my Grandpa 'PaPa J' is helping me out)

But after all this i was very tired

And I'm out. No, this is not a scene from the Wizard of Oz, it's me under all those blankets. It's tiring being almost 2...
