I am not sure where you are from, but in the South, we send Christmas cards. Not just any cards mind you. We send Christmas Cards with pictures of our children ( usually dressed in their Christmas best, beach family photos, or even cute poses with funny Christmas hats). The cards are wonderful gifts that we love to get in the mail. It is so fun to walk to the mailbox during the month of December.

Will has had a minor, but painful accident today. Walker and Will were jumping on the trampoline and Will's front tooth hit Walker's head. His front right tooth is hanging and we are waiting to hear from the dentist. It is the SAME tooth he knocked out when he was one years old and the SAME tooth he knocked loose this spring during a baseball game.

We will post an update soon. Kathy

She even gagged a little when I put some in her mouth. Oh well. Maybe she'll get the hang of it all by her third birthday. Her big present from us was a kitchen play set. Honestly, I was not sure how she would react to it. (Maggie is still delayed in some of her pretend play skills). But, to my suprise, she knew exactly what to do ! She opens the cabinets,stirs the pots, and is so busy with her kitchen. She loves it !!! She also got a shopping cart from her grandma and grandpa. She pushed that cart around the house for hours !
