Gabe gives his baby sister, Linz, a smooch on the forehead.
Hanging out... just being together... that's probably what I love most when I have my family with me.
My guy loves it too. He usually has a long list of projects that never get done. But that's OK. He probably enjoys thinking up the list as much as he does checking things off the list. Well, that's probably not exactly the truth.
Sitting around, catching up on everything that's going on...Erica, Emily...and Biscuit - just hanging out.
Saddie certainly doesn't want to miss any of the talk. Everyone likes to hang out around Saddie, too!
Even Biscuit...
Lindsey and Emily both have taken up knitting! I was surprised when both of them pulled out their knitting needles. A bit domestic, don't you think?
Donnie is our historian, well, actually, he and Linz are both historians. Donnie was reading up on the history of our county. Linz, the knitter, and Donnie, the readerWonder what Linz is knitting? Maybe a scarf for her mom? Maybe Linz is knitting a scarf for her Saddie?Who knows? (Lindsey probably does, but I don't.)Momma Emily has been feeling the little guy kicking around. It's pretty exciting, unless he becomes a brute like his dad and kicks and kicks and kicks. Gabe said all that kicking he did made him strong.Here we are ... just spread out, visiting...Thalia just loves Biscuit...and, of course, Biscuit loves Thalia!
Back to the knitting, different location, but the same project...LindseyEmilyBack to the family room to knit
Not all of us are knitters.We had been lounging around, being lazy, and Erica thought she'd just close her eyes for a minute.
Gabe and Thalia shut their eyes for more than a minute... shoot, it might have been for more than an hour.Erica had the grand plan ... to make a cup of coffee... Good choice, Erica.
That prompted a move to the kitchen...
Saddie decided to peel some sweet potatoes...
Look at that speed! No peeler for Saddie...no sirree, she uses a knife.
Lindsey, the master chef, decided to make some vegetable soup.My guy heard food being prepared, so in he came... to see what he could find.Donnie and Emily were enjoying a little snack.Joshua decided it would be a great time to do a little studying.Biscuit was wanting to practice being Santa, so Emily put on his Santa Suit...And off went Thalia, Biscuit, and Emily for a stroll around the block.
Just hanging out... it makes me happy!
