The boys can't wait to take baths together. Some nights, we can't get them undressed and the tub filled with water fast enough.

Christmas in NC. More cousins and more presents! I let Santa know the boys would be in NC on Christmas morning. Thankfully, he got the message and was able to deliver lots of fun toys to all the good boys and girls.

Christmas in TN (the Saturday before Christmas). Mclain and Hudson were the only boys in a swarm of girl cousins. They didn't mind a bit.

Bob the Builder was at the Children's Museum downtown! The boys loved all the cool trucks. Mclain got to shake Bob's hand (he told me he was going to as we were driving there). Hudson enjoyed waving and pointing at Bob, he didn't want to be held by him.

In other music news, here's our little Piano Man singing, dancing and tickling the keys. (Sorry, I can't turn the video right way up.)

What is the minimum age for American Idol? Here, Mclain sings "The Santa Claus One." He makes up the words and says "Santa Claus will bring me presents, presents, presents." (Yes, we are clearly doing a good job of teaching him about "giving" during Christmastime.) He also sings "Fa, la, la."

Misfit Photo Shoot, take 2: Different clothes, different day, same results. We did manage to get one decent picture for the card. You'll have to wait until you get in the mail ...

Take 1: Here are a few outtakes from the Christmas picture photo shoot (the first day I tried). Needless to say this try didn't go too well. I really needed Shannon to help baby wrangle.

Hudson and I were having a nice little conversations the other day at lunch. I'm not sure what all the crazy blinking was about. He's such a total sweetie. You can hear Mclain in the background. He had finished his lunch and was talking to George (aka Curious George).

Mclain and I made fudge the other morning. It was well "tasted."
