A Quick One

I can't take to long because Finn and Nadia are playing in their bedroom and I just heard Nadia say, "You be careful boy." Hopefully nothing bad is happening.

Anyway, today I'm going to attempt to get some cleaning done. I started in Nadia and Finn's room, but as they are playing there I'm sure it's a complete mess. "Nadzilla and Finnalous Raptor" have a tendency to undo everything I've just done.

Hopefully I can at least get the kitchen clean as I need to be cooking in there. Tomorrow is Olivier's birthday party and I have to make his cake so I need space to work. Also, I probably have to make a last minute shopping trip when Jeff gets home. I'm sure I forgot something I needed for the cake. I always do.

Nadia and Finn have just moved their playing (and toys) out into the living room, so I have to go take pictures and then clean up.

Happy Birthday Kevin.

As Nadia would say, "Happy Birthday Kevie." She can't wait to see you and wish you happy birthday in person. Though I would watch out for your cake. I think she has plans to steal it.

We hope you have a great birthday.

Twins

My sister Katie pointed out last night that she and Nadia are twins. You have to see the pictures. Check out her blog using the link to the right. It's amazing.

FHE Fun

Last night we had Family Home Evening. Seeing as it is November and Thanksgiving is coming up we had a short little lesson on gratitude. We talked about the primary song that teaches you how to pray and that the first thing you should do after beginning is "thank him for blessings he sends." Nadia was quite interested and she even "read" the scripture.

Of course her favorite part was the activity. We made a "Thankful Turkey."

She thought it was great to color the turkeys feathers. As we wrote we asked her what she was thankful for. We suggested things to which she would reply "Yes." (Namely crayons.) Then I asked her what else she was thankful for and she replied "Grandma." Isn't she just cute.

In other news both babes are sick and so easily upset. Right now Nadia is crying because Finn is laying on a blanket that she claims as hers. (Of course this could be because she is very and I mean VERY territorial about blankets. It's a comfort thing I think.)

Happy Birthday Olivier.

Today Olivier Preston Hemming turns 2 years old. We'd like to wish him a very happy birthday.

Nadia would like to welcome him to the terrible twos.

Have a great day Ollie.
