Golden
Ellie and I are visiting my sister this weekend in Denver. We took a quick trip over to Golden, CO for a walk. It’s been snowing for a few days, so we didn’t want to venture any further up the mountain.

Just short of 9 months, she started really crawling this weekend. She also popped those 2 bottom teeth out. She’s been working hard!

Samantha never really took an interest in her new bicycle at Christmas, so Brian and I were a little bummed. She certainly liked them in the stores where we test drove them. At any rate, she finally decided on Thursday afternoon that she wanted to ride it. She and I went outside to test it out. Baby rode in the basket …

Oh boy – Ellie has discovered her tongue! She loves to stick it out at you for a greeting! Sadly, I couldn’t capture a good image of her newly found skill. She has started to get up on all fours, but she’s not to the rocking stage yet. I know crawling won’t be long!

It’s Sunday evening. Sam is asleep and Ellie should be asleep. It’s dark outside and it’s almost Christmas. We realized that we had not taken the girls out to see Christmas lights. Janie had the brilliant idea to go to the zoo. Right now the Birmingham Zoo has “Zoolight Safari“. I’ve never seen so many Christmas lights …
