Does anyone need help in your kitchen?

Just ask Joanna! She loves to work in the kitchen!

She made holiday pancakes with sprinkles,
and she even took this picture by herself. : )

They loved them and didn't even ask for syrup!
Nice & healthy! ; ) Oops - don't notice the skittles!
(A treat for waking up dry.) She also helped make pizza.

She was a big help with making
chocolate covered pretzels too!

She loves to get her picture taken. Hm-m-m...
She's following in the footsteps of some of her Aunts! ; )

By the way, Carter is a great help with cleaning up.

Please don't ask if he was eating them off the floor! ; )

The kids loved decorating for Christmas!

Carter watched Joanna hang her candy canes,
and then he tried...
...and tried to get his to work, but they
never would stay on upside down! : )

Nathan was taking things off almost as
quickly as they were putting things on.

Psalm 23

Well, he said almost all of it. : )

There's nothing like diving into a pile of clean,

warm laundry - straight from the dryer! : ) ... or trying to bury yourself in it.

He did help by gathering all the socks into a pile.
Joanna was excited to wear Daddy's paint shirt

so she could paint him a picture.She worked carefully on this picture for an hour!

(She used Q-tips - one for each color.)

Best Buddies!

How many kids can we fit in a box?Looks like there's room for one more! ; )

They loved this "Orange Dream" smoothie.
(Orange sherbet, milk & ice in the blender)

Joanna & Carter were singing a duet

for Nathan from their little Bibles.

Ready for Sunday School

We had a great day at Navy Pier with

Rebekah, Tabitha, Joanna & Deborah

Nathan wouldn't crawl where it was wet...

so he decided to start walking for the first time!
