As mentioned, our photo and video updating took a hit when we changed to a joint desk and joint computer.\u00c2\u00a0 Our processes still aren’t quite aligned, but for the first time in a long time, here are some videos – from four months ago.\u00c2\u00a0 My, the kids look young!<\/p>\n
Joseph really enjoyed blowing out the candles on the advent wreath, albeit with scant success.\u00c2\u00a0 We have take 1<\/a>, take 2<\/a>, and take 3<\/a> for the first candle, and another attempt at Christmas<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Vivienne also got into the spirit<\/a>.<\/p>\n But before the gifts are opened<\/a>, cookies must be baked<\/a>, the table decorated<\/a>, and gifts prepared.\u00c2\u00a0 Vivienne opens a present<\/a>, and Joseph says thank you<\/a> – but the real thanks lie in the enthusiastic playing<\/a> with the dice received<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 They remain a favorite, four months later.\u00c2\u00a0 Christmas at the grandparents’ offers the opportunity for Joseph to write numbers with his great-great-aunt<\/a> and learn a new game from her<\/a>.<\/p>\n Besides Christmas excitement, there are plenty of other “regular” noteworthy moments.\u00c2\u00a0 Joseph and Vivienne synchro sleep<\/a>; Vivienne makes music<\/a>; Joseph writes eights<\/a>, over and over<\/a>; Joseph makes a fashion statement<\/a>; Joseph plays with his States puzzle<\/a>; Vivienne plays and sings along with the noisy book<\/a>, and Vivienne climbs in and out of Bappe’s lap with her new Snoopy dog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
