A Bit of Randomness...

This kid LOVES books. One morning, we found him on top of the bookshelf in the basement, contemplating his options.

We recently had Family Night at our house, and the cousins enjoyed some Minute To Win It games.












More cousin time:

After emptying a drawer of extra school supplies, Quintin asked, "Mama, can you help? Can you help with my homework?" Those days will come soon enough, I'm sure...

This little elf is ready for Christmas! Light-up Rudolph sweater and all...

A very dear friend in Ethiopia recently had a precious baby girl. Just another reason I'm ready to go back to Africa next year. Isn't she adorable?
