Cute Kids

Here are a few things to get yall caught up on our cute little kiddos.

Grant now has two bottom teeth, one big front tooth half in and the other front tooth just barely poking out. I make fun that he looks like the beggar from Aladdin the way he grins with his funny, cute teeth. Or maybe he looks like Jack Jack a little (the baby from the Incredibles). We will let you decide.

Lucy has wiggles. A lot of them. We found that she was intolerable during Sacrament meeting unless we tired her out first. So I walk with her to Church and by that I mean... she insists on running the entire way all on her own. We do manage to count some trees on our way there and we usually sing a song or two as well. When we get to Church she plops down on the pew and we have a nice calm Sacrament meeting with her. I am saying this as it has worked about six times now... so knock on would for me please. Lucy with wiggles during Sacrament meeting is no bueno.

Snow Days!

Texas experienced global cooling this winter... it was one of the coldest and snowiest on record. We had four consecutive days where schools were shut down and hardly anyone braved the roads. The thing is in Texas, it mostly ices, so it would rain a ton and then freezing temperatures would kick in soon after. This is what I am talking about, a girl in our neighborhood got on the news by being video-taped skating on the street outside her house:

Christmas 2010

Hi, it's Dave. Dianna and I fell way behind on blogging so we are tag-teaming to try and get caught up quick.

Christmas was in New Jersey this year with Dianna's family. All the kids came up with all their kids and we had one big house of madness! Good thing the Archibald version of madness mostly involves a ton of junk food, card games, pajamas all week, grandkids screaming and some movies. We anticipate this to be the last New Jersey trip since Dianna's parents plan to move out west, so we made sure to eat lots of Luigi's pizza and soak in all the good New Jerseyness before we left! The kids were angels for the flight there... I took Grant all by myself on one flight and Dianna took Lucy on another. On the way back my early morning flight got cancelled from snow but luckily it left later that day. Thank goodness my brother in-law introduced me to Angry Birds. Dianna stayed a few extra days and flew back with the kids. Thanks to the Dianna's parents and siblings who entertained our kids and shared the workload for a few days... it was a great Christmas present.
