Santa

Audrey and Aislinn together...it's Aislinn's first year not to be too afraid of the big guy in red.


Doesn't he have a great beard??

Arwyn's first Christmas on Santa's lap. Are you surprised that she cried? Regardless, it's a great, classic picture.

Never thought I would be so proud to see my daughter an unwed mother

This was Audrey in a Christmas play a couple of nights ago. She was Mary; the irony is, seven years ago, she was baby Jesus :) She walked onstage with a doll almost falling out from under her robe. Yeah, that's how I felt at nine months pregnant, like that baby was just gonna fall out any minute!

Here she is with the second of her two lines: "Joseph, I'm tired and I don't feel very well. I think this baby is going to come soon!"



She also performed in a piano recital today. She played a Danish folk dance, the exact name of which I can't remember. One other girl played the same piece; and I'm a bit ashamed to say I noted with pride that Audrey, though younger, played it better.

See my post below for a Christmas funny. Any die-hard Lost fans will get the title reference!

Smells like carrots

Three years old

I wish I had some of the fun pictures we took of Aislinn on her third birthday on this computer, but you'll just have to picture a party hat, unicorn style, in your head. However, I doubt I've posted this one, taken this summer while she was in China with daddy (she's helping his high school classmates make jiaozi, Chinese dumplings).



Happy birthday, sweet girl! I can't believe you're already THREE!
