Could have been awesome

Avacados on sale for $0.50 each= lots of guacamole. Did you know you can freeze mashed up avacado? So I bought 25, because we're big fans of guacamole around here. Good fat and protein, and the baby loves it. But alas, it was not meant to be. And my antique 1960's turquoise bowl was also not meant to be. Some days are just like that. Even in Austrailia.

coming and going

We're all about teeth here these days. Eleanor's are coming in like a flood, and I expect by her first birthday- in a month- she'll have four new ones on the top. You can just barely see them peeking out in perfect hillbilly fashion.

On the other end of the spectrum, this girl smiles a little bigger so as to show off the gaping (at least in her mind) hole in her mouth. One Morning in Maine declares her a big girl now that she's lost this first tooth. I'd have to agree.

first snow

My sister, Molly, is here for a visit and this was just what she was hoping for! It is beautiful, but I am content to take pictures, make hot tea, keep the fire going, and hold the baby at the window so she can watch some of the fun.

I'm not sure Warren loves the thick, wet, snow, but he loves making his kids happy
