Christmas time already

Valencia decided she's old enough for her own tree.

Happy thanksgiving

Wonderful day with the family. Valencia was a trooper till the very end. Then she passed out on the kitchen floor.

Sit still

I'm not allowed to move while Valencia is doing my hair

Stick and move

Noni is making rolls for thanksgiving and Valencia got to punch the dough.

Tape

Who new a piece of tape on the floor could be so much fun

Pizza

Laz likes his cheese on the side, Carmen the sauce. Valencia likes it totally deconstructed.

mullet removal

Valencia did super good getting her haircut. Then got to go play with Charlie at the museum.

Warming up with what Valencia called "the best tea ever"

All the babies are warm

Now let's play in the snow with Grandpa and Noni

Work

So that's what Papa does all day. Valencia checked my email and inspected the inventory to make sure it was good to go.

News

I told Valencia that I had some good news and some bad news and asked which she would like to hear first. She said bad news so I told her she had to go to bed. Her reply, oh no what's the good news? It will feel really good to sleep. Walking away "I don't like the news"

Be very still

Practicing for an overdue haircut

Cleaning the house

Playing at the park

It was kinda windy today

Hello

Out for a walk and bumped into Charlie

Boo Boo

aka Grandpa the makeup artist

Withdrawal

Valencia is having a hard time without her dougies. Even Abbot is doing what he can to support her even if it means wearing a matching necklace.

Good night

Picnic

At the park with Noni and Grandpa taking advantage of a beautiful fall day. That and Valencia's reverse Trump ponytail has to be shared with the world.

Checking Abbot's boogies for infection

Taking care of Mama

Valencia did a great job of taking care of Michaela today. She did the shopping and made sure she got plenty of rest and kept her eyes closed.

Happy birthday Auntie Sember

Thanks Auntie Sember for coming up on your birthday and helping take care of Valencia while Michaela is blurry eyed.

hum a na hum a na

Three days dougie free and feeling a bit stressed. Noni got out the labyrinth to help take the edge off. In other news Michaela had Lasek eye surgery today and doing pretty good. She had to where some crazy things over her eyes and some goggles for most of the night. She took them off just before Valencia went to bed so Valencia wouldn't worry about her. Valencia took a close look and said
"Mama I like your eyes"
