Leigh

Some alone time for Leigh today. Judo fist!
Sniffing the flowers.

Stairs

Things are slowly progressing at the new old new house. Our stairs are in. Merry Christmas, Susannah!The kid's bath is all set. I don't want to be in there in 12 years, even those dual sinks aren't going to quel the internecine conflict I sense coming.

Baseball!

Danny ditched our baseball game as soon as the neighbor came out to play. Never fear, Hanako picked up the bat and ball and declared her readiness.After we hit it, she would run to it
And put it back on the tee [bush].
This sums up Hana '12; binky in mouth, one hand on green binky, the other rubbing her belly button.

Bath Time

I'm not sure how long we're going to be able to keep up the batched bathing, but I think we'll miss it when it's gone.

Counters II

Mmmm, counters . . .
Check out that giant sink!With no power tools or dangerous holes around, the kids got to explore the new-old-new house. Girls went one way.
Boy went another.Hana is starting to run.
