She's on the move and into everything! Not quite a crawl, but give her another week and we'll be chasing her down!

The Black Cast
Lydia got a full leg cast last Wednesday after 3 weeks of being mostly immobile! She chose black so it would be the least offending in her upcoming aunt's wedding. She will be wearing a black dress. We are all glad to have her moving around again! She is really fast on crutches!
The Ducky Bath
For Christmas, Gretchen got a Ducky tub (complete with quacking beak)! She LOVES it... as you can tell. You put her in it and give her her new bath toys and she jabbers up a storm like those plastic fish and ducky tub are going to talk right back to her. Its so cute!

I took a good one!
Ok, so a year ago we spent a lot of money (for us anyway) on a nice digital camera. I have been trying to learn how to successfully use it. So with every photo session and uploading of pictures I HOPE for a couple of decent pictures. To-date I think this one is the best so far! Click on the picture to see more!

Broken
December 12th was a day to remember and the reason there haven't been any fun holiday posts. Lydia broke her leg ice skating. So we visited the emergency room for a second time with our oldest daughter. When I called my best friend, who has two boys, she said "God didn't really spare you anything by NOT giving you boys!" No kidding. We absolutely love Lydia for all her strong will, independence, determination, intelligence, and agility. But the last 2 and a half weeks have been A LOT of sitting for her and its been hard. Hard on the rest of us as well, as we do our best to take care of an 80 lb baby (so to speak)! This week she will go in for a full cast and then the doctor says she can try using some crutches. We are ALL counting the days! As for me, I didn't realize how much I had come to count on her for help each day and I will be glad when things are back to normal. Maille has made her best attempt to step up to the plate and help out more than usual. Today she even cleaned Lydia's room! What a great sister! Brian has been trying his best to keep up with work during this already busy time of year. Christmas pics coming soon!

Try taking a picture of these three!
I wanted a Christmas picture of the girls. Thats all...seems like not too much to ask right? Ok, so how on earth do you get all three looking at the camera and smiling at once??? Out of several hundred taken, these were the best we could do! Click the picture to see more. If you see a picture you like, flickr allows you to download it or order prints. This way everyone can pick thier own favorite!

Sit Gretchen, Sit!
She is officially a big girl now. Solid food AND sitting up! She has been working hard and her big sisters are so proud of her. They have been cheering her on every time we set her upright..."sit Gretchen, sit!" It keeps Brian and I laughing.
