Building His Lego Sets

In the past Michael and I were usually the ones that had to put Sean's Lego sets together, because he didn't have the patience or attention span to complete them. This year he built the two sets he received for Christmas, by himself!!! He was so proud. I showed him how to use the instructions to figure out each step and he built both sets during the Cowboys game (3 hours). Not bad for a 6 year old.

Christmas Eve

When your children are babies and toddlers you expect them to be more into the packaging and the wrapping. At 6-1/2 years old you'd think it was all about what was in it. Apparently not... Uncle Chris and Sean ended up playing with the styrofoam and cardboard from Sean's art desk he got for Christmas. This is what they made...

Comparing Pregnancies

I've been pretty bad about taking belly pictures with this pregnancy. Fortunately Michael's mom has a few that she is going to send me. I was going through my belly pictures from my pregnancy with Sean and realized that I had some from this same day of the month.

So here they are... these are belly pictures exactly 7 years apart. Both taken on December 14th (one in 2003 and one today). Not much difference other than I'm older. I can tell that I'm carrying higher this time, which would explain all the horrible indigestion.

Sean's Christmas Piano Recital

I am SO proud of how well Sean did at his recital. He played his piece perfectly (you could actually tell it was Jingle Bells). He has improved so much since his recital in May.
