Finishing off 2008

Yes I am running on my typical schedule: late. But I wanted to finish off the last year with a couple more images.

Matt got some new glasses. He has done such a good job of taking care of his glasses and always wearing them. I was worried when he had to get them so young that we would be replacing them every couple of months, but he has been very responsible.

This picture tugs at my heart strings. The little one in the pink coat is my Marsha Kate. She goes to school just like she does everything else, at 3000%. As soon as she hits the ground out of the van she is running top speed to get to Kindergarten. She loves school. It is hard to tell with this picture because her coat is big too, but her backpack is so big on her and she looks so small as she enthusiastically runs off that it just makes a tear come to my eye.

Eliza hit a milestone in December too. On our way to California, at Kate's house, under this fabulous tree:

Eliza learned to roll over. So- here is the process. Roll to side,

Face plant,

Be stuck for a little while,

Whoa . . .

And the money shot: she throws up because of too much work on a full stomach.

This all would end with her mad because she didn't want to be on her stomach. So she would cry, parent would roll her over, repeat process multiple times (including the spit-up). It wasn't until Kate's house on the way home from California that she got the other half of the roll-over down. Now she is a pro.
