Well, it's a new year, and a new look for the Dik kids! It's been a while since I've posted on here....but I'M BAAA-ACKKK! These photos are all from this past November and December, before we left for our Michigan trip!
Abram's shirt reads, "if you think i'm cute you should see my daddy!"
Eli and Abram
Abram and Silas
Abe
Silas with his scrunchy face
Abram and Mommy
He must be dreaming of flying, or thinking about Jesus dying on the cross for his sins, or giving his mama a hug...
Silas and the Wedgits tower he built
Eli with his Wedgits on Wheels--he loves to build cars!
Abram on Thanksgiving Day
Silly turkeys
Eli with his beaded candy cane he made at the Corey's house. Nancy always has a craft to do!
Silas and his candy cane
Santa Claus even came to visit on Thanksgiving Day!!! With presents!
Even Bryan got to sit on Santa's lap! (Rachel has so kindly pointed out that if the chair wasn't there it would look like he's waltzing with a really short Santa...I would love to see that!)
Our family ornament for 2008...thanks, Nancy and Craig! Oops! I mean, Santa!
Abram's shirt says, "Let it Snow."
He's all bundled up and ready to go out!
Silas
Eli, coloring away...
Abram's getting to be so big!
Eli's drawing of a snowflake.
Yowza! We have a thumb-sucker on our hands, folks! He's been caught red-handed!
We made ornaments with tiny Lego pieces this year...here is Silas trying to look through the little hole, like it's a magnifying glass...
We had fun hanging ornaments on the tree!
We celebrated Christmas as a family a week early....
Eli read the Christmas story from Luke 2...
Silas sporting his new sweatshirt jacket!
Awwwww....
OK, this one isn't so cute....but it's the only picture of me from that day, and actually it is feigned surprise because I bought and wrapped the gift (a Wheel of Fortune plug & play video game) myself....I do love that game, and apparently so does Eli...he's literally completed hundreds of puzzles since then, and is quite good at it!
Abram's first Christmas present!
Oh, what's the pouty lip for? I guess he's averse to blue elephant toys...should have known...
Silas LOVES his giant giraffe!
Eli got a "smart globe"--when you point to a country it tells you its name. He loves this toy and is learning so much about geography! He'll ask me questions like, "Mom, have you ever been to Burkina Faso? How about Tajikistan? Do you know where Togo is? Well, it's right by Benin and Cote D'ivoire!" What a cute little smarty pants...
Abram is looking a little worn out from opening presents....
Eli and Silas with Botley the robot!
Abram couldn't stand it any more and decided to take a nap.
The boys' big present was a toy kitchen! And lots of food to go with it!
Abram is 3 months old!
I'm pretty sure he learned to smile like this from Silas...
Eli and his classmates told the Christmas story in his preschool Christmas program. His line was "Baby Jesus was born and laid in a manger."
That day, the snow clung to every single branch and blade of grass...it was breathtaking!
