some Hanukkah Pictures

Well as you know, we are doing Hanukkah now. I have not been taking enough pictures. Here are a couple.

Using the new paint brushes from Aunti Juli

I wish you could hear Maya singing as she paints. One day blogger will work out playing my avi files.

Life round here

We have been sick for going on three weeks now. We have been spending more time sleeping with the girls, trying to make them feel comforted. Here are some pictures of life around here these days.

NO TOYS THIS YEAR PLEASE

We are taking up a collection for the girls this year. These are some swingsets we found online. The prices are just for the materials, so it will be more with shipping. Daddy Mack and his buddies will put it together. (of course)

This is the swingset we would get if we had $10,000. For just under $6,000 we can get this with only one clubhouse.




It would look more like this one, with more swings on the other side.



This swingset is only $2000, but it is not made of redwood and won't last as long and, there is no clubhouse under the deck.

We realize these are more advanced than the girls are now, but they will get bigger and we only want to build one swingset.

Black and Whites by Laura Smith

Here are two of the black and whites that Laura took in California. There is a rumor that I will get the whole disk of pix this week. The three pictures in yesterday's post were also taken by Laura, as if you couldn't tell. :)
