Sharing the love

Isabelle went on a daughter-daddy date with Daddy just before Valentine's Day. She was absolutely delighted. (And I think it confirmed for her that she's daddy's precious girl even though there's a boy around now!)


We try to share the love with the four kids daily according to their needs and the way each of them was created. They are each so beautifully different, one from the other. We do draw the line though... For one, "special orders do upset us" in the Holland kitchen. It's tough beans if you don't like beans! Nicky eats everything though. It's a delight to watch him gorge and we're still saying "smaller bites" and "slow down." He's grown over 4 inches and we're due for another run to Target for some longer corduroys since it seems Spring is still a long way off here!

Christmas and snow

Though the pictures are worth a thousand words, the blessings are worth a million words of praise. Christmas for Nicky below, opening Leapster (his own, rather than borrowing Isabelle's), his remote control "machina" (car) and a s'mores and snow evening on the patio (Katrina pictured).
