Holiday Hospital Room

Martha & I also took it upon ourselves to "brighten up" the hospital room where the Bush's stayed for a few days last week. It's amazing what you can do with a little scotch tape and wrapping paper.

Happy to be Home from the Hospital

Becky, Aidan & Finn are home and ready for Xmas. What a healthy baby!

While Martha & I were at the Bush's, Aidan learned how to sing Jingle Bells. He's really good at the "Hey!" part. Those reindeer antlers actually play the tune if you press a button on the headpiece. It works really well if you keep pressing it - over and over and over.

Broadway Santa

The great Xmas play - Unity style. That's Lydia as "Cupid" second from left.

Here's a picture of Ann with her new nephew Finley.

Jake had a wonderful birthday at the Chuck E. Cheese's. I've never seen a bigger smile on his face than when Chuck E. pointed to him and gave him a "thumbs up" while the crew sang Happy Birthday.


We've really resisted having the party there, but overall I'd say the kids had a blast. They certainly know what they're doing over there.

One big bone

We got June a giant bone at the Wal-Mart. She's been sitting on her bed for the last three hours chewing on it.

Loose tooth

Jake's tooth is so loose that even the clerk at the Verizon store was begging him to let her pull it out. She was telling us that her grandmother had the fastest hands in the West. Grandma would insist that she just wanted to wiggle the tooth -- then it'd be gone.

Jake was unconvinced. His head's a blur because he was shaking it "no."

Ultimately, Jake won the day. The tooth remains.
