Jackie has such a delightful sense of humor and outlook on the world. I finally figured out the best way to describe it. Jackie begins every day with “once upon a time” and ends it with “happily ever after.” I hope she spends her whole life this way.

While watching Superman IV with Katie, during the scene where Superman was getting clobbered, she asked if Superman was going to win. “Yes” I replied. She said, “Does he always win?” A bit reluctantly, I said, “Always.” Hard to watch those movies knowing Christopher Reeve is gone.

The 3 kings delivered a little something to us today.

Pancakes, eggs, & sausage. The girls are so excited! Who knew it would be such a treat?!

Katie made easy-bake cookies tonight with the help of our babysitter, Becca. They were pretty tasty considering they were cooked via light-bulb. The last time I ate cookies from an easy-bake was 25 years ago. I was hoping they’d perfect the recipe a bit more over that time, but not so much. It was lovingly…

Well, my sister started a Photo A Day blog and I thought it was pretty cool, so “me too!” I doubt I’ll be as good as her on the “daily” part, but I’ll do my best to keep up. Happy New Year!

My fav Riley words are: Oootiful, Pincess (for Beautiful Princess) Bam, Bam (for bandaid) Wishing Trees (for Christmas trees and lights) Bootie (for BEAUTY :-D) … Oh there’s a story that goes with this one! So I’m getting onto her for saying ‘bootie’ and she is just not understanding totally as all she can say…
