riding the train

we rode the train down to st. louis saturday morning to visit the taylors for christmas.  they closed the salon the day after so with a bonus day off, why not?!  the weather has been real iffy.  snow. rain. freezing rain. more snow.  i don't love the train but this was the first time i appreciated the ease of it because we didn't have to worry about our travel plans at all.  and that was a good thing!  we got to visit with everyone especially ryan, katie, alex, and julia.

famous words by julia

now that julia is 2 1/2, this category is all hers:


It is late and everyone is getting ready to say goodbye.  Julia is trying to get a word in edgewise, "Guys!  I smell something yummy!"  Katie jumps in to correct her,  "Oh, honey.  You mean yucky.  Daddy just got out of the bathroom."

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

...from the taylors

so i think i know what's going on with the video content.  they've changed the format of our dashboard. (you know, where i need to go to post stuff.)  the new format is easier to use and has more tools also but does not accept video uploads.  what i've been doing is (after reading into bloggers' forums) changing my settings to the old format to upload video and then changing back.  so now what, blogspot?

just watch

dee-ssert!
