Harris House

to love Sam’s.  Not only do they have cheap, large Diet Coke’s and give away enough samples to be a meal, they have double cart baby seats!  This was Drew and Ellie’s first cart riding experience. They loved it, and so did everyone else we passed. 

Check out this website!  Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered the whole set and the new book- Saving Christmas!

but not today.  I had a new post done last night to commemorate Drew and Ellie being 7 months old on December 8, but somehow it disappeared.  Grrr…

So I’ll try again.  Drew and Ellie are 7 months old!  They are cuter than ever and so much fun.   Ellie has two little teeth, can clap, and now rolls over and sleeps on her tummy.  Drew loves to eat, is starting to rock back and forth on all fours, and still loves to cuddle. They both are learning to pick up food with their fingers, and their favorites are peas and puffs.  They are getting easier and easier to take care of- they take great naps, sleep about 12 hours at night, are generally happy and content most of the time. I know things will change soon, when they can move in two different directions!

I took Drew and Ellie for a walk last week to test out our new stroller cover.  They were nice and cozy in their little plastic bubble, but I was cold! So after a quick little walk, we headed home, and this is what I found.

Ellie is completely out numbered by all her little buddies from church.  Four of my friends all have sons and another boy is on the way.  We all try to hang out once a week most weeks.  Today they all came to our house to play!  We managed to get all seven to sit still for a picture.

Only Drew figured out which camera to look at first!

The babies and Ellie's new trick- clapping!

I did a terrible job taking pictures over Thanksgiving, but we had a great time even if we don’t have many photos to prove it.  We stayed at Aunt SuSu and Uncle Neener’s house.  Drew and Ellie loved waking up to their cousin Addi!  It was a Watson family reunion, so Drew and Ellie got to meet their great aunts, uncles, and cousins.  I was thrilled to actually make it to Mia’s 3rd birthday party.  I have a skill for getting the flu on holidays in Omaha and missing important family events.  Thankfully this year, I was bug free and even well rested- thank you Drew, Ellie, and Tylenol PM.

An attempt for 3 smiles....
