Repentance

I have turned into the world's worst blogger. Lots of good things have happened that I haven't blogged about. Here are just a few:

*Cyrus got a great job. Great benefits, plenty of pay, good hours. We will be living in Astoria OR for 3 years.
*Cyrus passed part II of the boards.
*We had a fun Thanksgiving with the Reynolds, Pypers and Smiths. Too much food. It was YUMMY though!! And, by the way, Jason Smith can make one pretty pie!
*Cyrus' Dad came to town.
*Cyrus' Grandparents and Mom came around for a visit.
*The girls got fabulous report cards.
*Sam, well you already know about Sam. He stayed the same.

So here are some random pictures:

Carolyn cleaned out from under her bed (what a mess!!!) And was so excited, she made a fort and slept under there for about a week.




Sam and Katie thought they would have a little milk on the counter. Their mom thought they were cuter than heck.



Sam decided he knew how to make his own cereal. Mom is so proud. We don't leave things on the table anymore.



Sam is very smart. He was at my friend Casey's house getting babysat. He kept turning the TV on and off so she unplugged it (it is in a big Armoire and the plug was behind). Well Sammy wiggled his way back there, plugged the TV back in and started turning it on and off again. Little pill. Also, if he is hungry, he grabs your either Mom or Dad's hand and brings them to the kitchen and gets out a pot and a fork (for stirring) and sometimes the eggs or anything he may want from the fridge. Then when you are busy cooking, he gets out his plate (which I keep in a low cupboard so the girls can set the table and unload the dishwasher) and hold it up for you to put his food on. He is very smart.
