Jan 13 - Jan 21

Joel got a tie for Christmas ... here he is all dressed up.

In Jr. Church, we started a new series. Alphabet Bible Concepts Our first week, we made Angels and learned all about them.

Then we went and visited Mamaw and Papaw. Where Papaw immediately put Joel's present on his head ... just like everyone else on our side of the family did. Tim's side of the family didn't do this ... so it must be hereditary.

You can see most of Mamaw's side of the room. She wasn't having a very good day.

Joel loves to make videos with his "new" cell phone, and then he watches them with Rue. This is how I find them more nights than not. Snuggled up listening to music, watching videos, or reading books.

Can you see Joel has his arm around Rue? You can see his hand on her shoulder.

Rue loves being upstairs with HER Auntie V. On this day, they made cookies.

Sifting flour is FUN

Yes, she has a band aide on her eye. Actually, the scrape was on her eyelid - and you can see it there in the picture. But she wanted a band aide on it. So we put oils on the band aide (mostly lavender), and put that beside her eye. She fell over while playing in a box and his her eye on the bottom of a chair.

Rue also "helped" make bread.

Warm temps in January.

Rue helping Joel make his own rubber band gun. He loves it. But needs more rubber bands!

It took her almost 45 minutes ... but she did get the whole puzzle put together!
