Trying on Daniel's clothes has been one of Nathan's favorite games lately.
He reminds me so much of Tommy Boy. "Fat guy in a little coat..."

| Trying to figure out Christmas lights |
 |
| Out here in the country, Christmas trees cost half what they did back in Rochester. So we got the very biggest one we could find. It was glorious! |
 |
| Joseph is learning how to string lights...it was very difficult for Matt when Joseph decided he was finished trying and began "throwing" the lights on the branches. |
 |
| The snow this year has been minimal. This is the back entry where we keep our firewood and recyclables. Sadly, we haven't had this much snow since this picture was taken, at the end of November. |
 |
| Lunchtime is frequently interrupted by these fingers. Daniel is a grabber now. Grabbing everything. Coffee, hair, food. Everything goes right in his mouth, too. We think it will only be a matter of days until we see those two bottom teeth. |
 |
| This fuzzy picture shows my Knight in Shining Armor before work. Matt wakes up around 4am, everyday. On the nights I have trouble with a cranky baby, he brings Daniel downstairs and allows me to get a couple more minutes of sleep. Heaven. |
 |
| We set up Daniel's crib in the boys' room. We moved beds around and are still trying to figure out who fits best where. At the exact moment I am typing this, all five older children are having a slumber party in the girls' room. They do this slumber party thing frequently. They love being together. They love sleeping in the same room. Matt suggested to me yesterday that we should just paint one room green and have it be "the sleeping room". Two sets of bunkbeds. Winning. |
 |
| Matt, I said earlier, wakes up around 4a. This gem wakes up between 5-6a. She's determined to make my stay in purgatory VERY,VERY SHORT. |
