| First, a tribute to our sweet dog Niles. Niles was my first dog and I will always remember him as the very best dog. He earned it... he graciously welcomed three babies into our home at the advanced age of (we think) 12. We adopted Niles when my mom found him on an elementary school playground. He patiently waited for me to come home from school every day and "talked" to me all evening. We never did get that barking under control :) He was my companion for for three months of bed rest and seemed to understand when three teeny tiny people who first came home attached to very loud alarms took my attention away from him. I think he was happy when the heart monitors left and those teeny tiny babies grew into very hungry toddlers who dropped lots of food under the trip-trap. We miss Niles... especially after meals when I say, "Did any of the food on your plates make it into your mouths?" Thank you for choosing our family, Niles Warner. |

| This should have gone in last time... I love Klint walking with our children. They are headed back to Warner Thanksgiving after a nap. |

| Not a great pic, but a milestone... All three at CFA by myself without a stroller or high chairs. We are holding hands in parking lots and sitting (mostly) still at the table. Progress! |
 |
| Jack woke up a little early from nap. He thought with Daddy's shoes on he could build a really tall building. |
 |
| We pulled out the nativity set and talked about Christmas. Look at West... He has unzipped the top of his pajamas. I think he is telling me that Elvis has a few Christmas tunes and that he would like some background music. |
 |
| Walker Boone came a little early for Christmas. We were all so happy to see him. He may have felt slightly overwhelmed with the affection. |

 |
| Jack was asleep when I cam e home, but Liibeth and West were not so I had to get them out of bed for one last story. Some nights after they have been in bed a while and we have all had a few minutes of quiet, I just really want to get them out. This time is flying by and I know I will miss it so much one day! |
