Funny Things...

Kids say and do the funniest things.  Just this morning, while hanging up a few clothes in Cameron's closet, I found that he had hung up, ever so carefully, the packaging from his new socks.  I had to laugh.  He is so cute.  So organized.  So helpful.  The little hangers attached to the packaging are most definitely meant to be hung in the closet where all hangers go, right?  

One liners Cameron is saying these days that make me laugh...

~"I need ear-tip (q-tip) for my ear."  Why I ask.  "I have ear bugger Mommy."

~"Stay right here.  Be right back soon."

~"It's dangerous back here." (said while retrieving a ball from behind a pile of blankets)

~"Stay with you two minutes? Pleeeese?"

~"Do you need a hand?"

~"Me much bigger now!"

~"Me thinking something."

~"Me Cameron Olsen not baby." (said, crying, while I comforted him after he hurt himself and I referred to him as "oh baby")

I'm sure I'll think of more or hear others soon.  WOW, i LOVE this kid!

Audrey at 6 Months!

Well, our little girl is growing up.  Too fast it seems.  Audrey turned 6 months old today and is our bright and shinning star.  She and her brother trooped though Christmas and the holiday gatherings with great success and happy hearts.  Audrey is an incredibly easy going and happy little girl.  Her bright smiles, silly coos, loud voice and raspberry blowing make us laugh and interact with her all of the time.  She continues to take two naps a day, both about 2 hours long (if we are lucky) and sleeps all night long.  Audrey is also very active and is always rolling around from her back to belly and back again.  She also enjoys laying on her side.  Her newest favorite thing to do is to play with tags, like most babies her age.  She will quietly play with a tag for a good half-hour or so (thanks Great Grandma Jean for the tag doll).  She continues to be a great nurser and just today experienced rice cereal for the first time.  She was not too excited about the cereal and entertained us all quite well while taking her first little bites or small tastes.  She will quickly get used to this routine and with hope, become a great little eater like her brother.  Both Audrey and Cameron are our little miracles and we would not be the same without them!  ~Jeannette and Chris

Dog Sitting!

Hi there family of mine!  I want you to know that I'm having a great time here at the Olsen's!  Cameron and I have become quite good friends.  We play outside in the snow, roll around on the living room floor and he even lets me sit next to him on "my" bed.  Cameron is constantly covering me up with my pretty pink blanket.  He must think I'm cold or something.  At night Chris and Jeannette let me sleep with them on their bed.  Their cat Lilly is not so happy about this but they tell me she will be just fine!  Well, I must run-along outside for a second.  Give everyone a lick and snuggle from me.  I miss you and hope you are having a Very Merry Christmas!  See you soon.  

P.S.  Chris keeps telling me that he wants to "keep" me and Cameron thinks that I'm "a good doggie".  Should I be worried? 

Love, Isabell

More Snow Fun!

Like most of you, we spent yet another fun filled day playing in the snow.  Cameron loves, loves, LOVES to throw snow balls and the all time sledding experience.  The snow is even perfect for building our snowman.  THIS is the snow I remember as a kid.  The kind that found us out of school for a week, the power out, the pond frozen and skate-able,  the hill a perfect wonderland for sledding, the woods a magical place for exploring...wonderful memories!  I hope that you and yours are creating lasting memories just the same this Snowy White Christmas week.  Love, Jeannette

ps.  Our sled situation is sad, I know...cardboard box, plastic tub.  However, this morning Grandma and Grandpa Olsen brought us a Radio Flyer and we are looking forward to trying it out!
