Laying down watching TV and looking just like his daddy.

Playing with finger paints. Not my favorite activity, but C seems to enjoy it!

Christensen Christmas

Merry Christmas on the run!



Is this one mine?


More toys?


Grandma would show C how things worked while Daddy would unbox the next toy.


Grandma Marla and Kayla.


Daddy takes a second to smile at me, then back to work putting in more batteries.


Grandpa talking. For some reason in all of his pictures he's talking.


That toy said, "Hi, I'm Chuck the Dumptruck" before I put tape over the speaker. Now it says, "Miff, Miff, muff, fumphh, humfphhhh, mumphhhhmumphhh."

Prelude

I lost the control key on my computer and the function key stopped working after it got drooled on, Grace Ann has a Cheerio stuck on her ear, and the baby has wedged himself between the stereo speaker and the TV stand.

It's a prelude to a perfect day.

Dr. Grace

as dr. grace is ON. THE. JOB.

Grace

Grace has been emailing me since we've been gone. She's been staying with Tanya and Tanya has been kind enough to let her use her computer. Here are some of the emails Grace has sent this week.

dear mom and dad...i like camp.
camp is fun. i get to play in mud pits
when nobody is looking.
but after i play in mud i have to get a bath in the sink
and aunti tanya is afraid to get water in my ears so
she does my head with a spray bottle and i don't like it.

aunti tanya says i am going to get a facial after work
so here is what i look like after a day in mud and a day in
the rain. i just woke up.

dear mom and dad.
camp is not so bad. i am ready for my day
i have had my hair brushed-tanya brushes it
every day and found a web site that says to be SURE to
keep the comb down and do NOT flip up at the end of the
stroke so my hair doesn't break.
i am sorry i am brown...mud tends to colour me a little
but she says i am getting that taken care of TONIGHT.
she is getting better with the bows, i kept yesterdays in all day
long. too bad i got rained on because i had old kinky head
from my bow when my hair dried.
i look a little better now.
i posed pretty for you.
