Snow Floaties
Yesterday was an awesome day. The girls and I got up (Momma got to sleep in a bit) and we snuggled and watched cartoons. When momma got up we all got dressed and went to have breakfast at IHOPs. We hadn't been there in months so it was fun to go. As we were leaving to go get our Christmas tree, it began to snow and Emma pointed it out by saying "LOOK AT THE SNOW FLOATIES!!!" It was just flurries but they were really coming down. I never have figured out where the line is drawn between flurries and a snow shower. Oh well. It was beautiful and really cool that it was doing it while we were getting our tree. We, for some strange reason, name Christmas tree every year. Last year it was Cinderella. This year, the girls settled on "Holly". She is 8.5 feet of pure pine-family beauty. After getting the tree situated and the lights on, I got to cook dinner. I actually love cooking for my family. I made a garlic herb crusted pork loin, green bean casserole and new potatoes. It was a great dinner. As I cleaned up in the kitchen, Momma and the girls put the ornaments on the tree. We capped off the night by having our (now traditional) Hendrix Saturday Night Red Carpet Popcorn and Fruit Juice Movie Extravaganza Gala. We snuggled on the couch with all three girls and watched The Blue Elephant. It was a great day.

Baby Sarah's Pee Towel
Hi all...
Chloe has changed so much in just the last month it's amazing. It's little changes often over looked. The willingness to pick up her toys without throwing too big of a fit, her big sister attitude toward "Wydia" and now she is becoming quite the little mommy figure around the house. Her dolls are her livelyhood. She lines them up on the stairs, each doll with its own step to use as a bed. When it's time for them to go to sleep, she'll stand at the doorway and say sweet things like "I love you babies. You have sweet dreamies" and other things she hears her daddy whisper to her before he goes to bed at night. Her best (doll) friend is named Sarah and she goes everywhere with Chloe. In fact, Chloe has even arranged the chairs at the table so that the doll's highchair can fit in and she can feed her while the rest of us eat. She burps the baby after eating. In fact, when it's time for the baby's bottle, she'll go to her own little rocking chair and just rock her as she plays mommy to her baby giving her a fake bottle which of course she has to "warm" in her microwave in her play kitchen. Chloe you are precious and I hope you feel just as loved as your sisters. Being a middle kid can be tough sometimes but your mommy and myself are both middle kids so we know what you are going through and will go through and we are trying our best to make this a very happy experience for you. I think you're doing a great job as the middle child and I'm proud of you.
Last night I cleaned the kitchen and bathed our youngest while the older girls were getting ready for bed. After getting the baby situated with her nightly bottle, I went to tuck the big girls into bed for the night. There she was on the floor, her head resting on a pillow. Baby Sarah was right by Chloe's bed. Chloe had made a bed of pillows for her baby and covered her with blankets. I looked down and noticed that baby Sarah was sleeping on a burp cloth neatly stretched out without a wrinkle to be found.
"Oh is that Baby's Sarah's blanket?" I asked.
"No silly Daddy.... that's her pee blanket in case she has an accident." Chloe responded.
That's my girl. Since you have conquered the bed wetting and are a big girl now you look out for you babies.
