Letters to Santa

December 8, 2011 | Family,Holidays

Dear Santa,

Please explain to my first-grader that your elves don’t have the parts to make iPads. Or … something. (*cough* $499 *cough*)

And, please. Don’t let the pigeon out of the book! You know. The $14.99 book?

I’ve been good. Really, I have.

Love,

Becky

Bird garden project

September 20, 2011 | Family,Forest City,Home,Iowa

This is what Pappa does when the rest of his family goes on vacation. He started a new project when we were in Missouri. It’s this close to being done. He made it because I said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could see some pretty birds from the sunroom?”

Keeping the Tooth Fairy busy

September 19, 2011 | Family

She’s been waiting so long, watching her brother and sister loose teeth. Her first one finally came out. She’s so excited! Looks like her molars are coming in, too. That explains her recent headaches.
