A Very Happy New Year and Belated Merry Christmas


We're off to a good 2012. We have been working really hard to get our basement ready for a renter. I had to warm up to the idea of not having my entire house to myself-- even the deep dark cold basement parts that we seldom use. I think it is going to be a great blessing for our family.

Eli bought me a new camera for Christmas-- nothing too fancy, but I am still getting used to it, so please bear with me.
Jake is into jammies. I have to beg him to go anywhere (except church and preschool), convince him of the need to put on normal clothes, and as soon as we get home he is immediately back into PJ's--not the same pair of course.

His morningwear pictured below:
Lunchtime attire:
Playwear: (he is also into funny faces and gang signs)
Mason is shaping up to be quite the little chef. It only makes sense as she is eating something or asking about eating 11 out of her 12 waking hours. She is a Higham for sure. She is always cooking something in her play kitchen. I love her beside me in the kitchen because this is what I used to do with my dad.
She insists on "painted toes". Fingernail polish or fingernails all share that same name.
She is 90% potty trained thanks to some very convincing women:

Jake fake sleeping so Santa will come:
Hope you all had a nice holiday and have a great 2012.

Love the gang signs. What a silly boy! Also, I can't get over how much Mason and Lucy look alike! Mason's hair is growing so fast. Beautiful children you have!

Jake is looking more and more like a mini-Eli. Sounds like life is fantastic right now. Best wishes with your renter. :)
