Getting good at lifting her head up..just has to figure out the arms.
Several times a day Tillie has "tummy time."
It helps her use her different muscles..she's getting
close to rolling over!

Holiday Breakfast

Yesterday, Dec. 10th, we met in Olympia for breakfast with my folks, my sister and brother-in-law and my niece and her 3 kids. In the past, we have gone to Kelso and met for lunch. But this was easier for my folks and Debbie and Lenard were up visiting Shannon and kids on Saturday. They stayed with us Saturday night..Anyway..here's more of my family.


My niece, Shannon(r) and her daughter, Cherie
(Cherie is the baby person..she's holding Tillie)
That's my Dad, Mom and Lana, my Mom's aide

A totally zoned out DJ..he had slept only 4 hours

Baby Jesus

Today was the Shelton Christmas parade..yesterday, our friend Melody called and asked Emily if Tillie would play Baby Jesus in the parade, and if Emily would be Mary..I got a kick out of that, but after thinking about it, it seems like an incredible honor to portray our Lord...even if it's a girl baby in the role..I also have had some thoughts wandering through my head on forgiveness..I saw a book in a catalog that talked about forgiveness as a choice..I have to think this through some more..so, when I do..I'll post more.. (If you're wondering why Emily is laughing, she's laughing at me, trying to keep up with the truck pulling the float while I was trying to take the picture.)
