December heat

i think i've figured out that there is only one season down here, summer! it's been pushing 80 all week. i'm loving it but really having a hard time getting in the xmas spirit. send some snow. just for xmas eve and morning : ) then you can have it back. your photos of the snowdays in NY do look beautiful though : )

NC Sunset

my hometown in NY is known for its beautiful sunsets. there you can watch the sun go down over lake ontario. there's no lakes here but sophia and i often watch the sunset from her bedroom window. lately the sun has been a really brilliant pink, not sure why? sophia wanted me to capture a picture of the pink sky. i never thought it would come out through the window with my wimpy little camera, but suprisingly it looked pretty neat.

Sophia time

lately john and i are trying to spend some one on one time with the girls. logann especially seems to enjoy it and we're hoping it'll help her recent bad behavior. spending time alone with sophia makes for an easy day. this past sat i took her to a christmas breakfast event. it was actually at the garden supply co. (my friend kelly always finds out about these things). sophia loved the visit with mrs. claus, the incredibly decorated trees and her christmas craft. mommy enjoyed the chocolate donuts : ) and the ease of one child. i seriously understand why people stop after one.

Sucker

So apparently the dentist told Logann the other day that she had to stop sucking her thumb! Her front teeth are already starting to buck, poor kid. Or actually maybe poor us when we are paying for her dental work! Anyway she came home and told Sophia and I what the dentist said and Sophia being a typical 4 yr old of course asked "why?" I told them that if she kept sucking her thumb that all her teeth would fall out. That really freaked her out (well for about 5 mins). Yesterday on the way to school I caught her sucking her thumb and teased her and she pretty much told me to kiss off : ) Oh well thats ok I may regret it in 10 yrs but right now she looks so stinkin cute as a thumb sucker. Tips gladly accepted though!
