Jon is finishing up a month of wards.

Long, long hours.

We've missed him terribly.

He gets a few days off at Christmas & we cannot wait to be with him all day.

While we miss him, we fill our days with lots of activities.

Big, fun activities.

Like lining up the cushions from the couch, as Elsie puts it, 'like  Rapunzel's castle'.

The fun happens when the girls jump on the cushions and wiggle down them to the end.

The room is filled with giggles.

 Caroline's other favorite place is the cabinets.

She jabbers and laughs while I cook.

She tossing things around and stack things up--

generally showing us how thrilled she is with her life.

Quality fun for with my girls...
