It's blurry, but I liked the contrast between Amelie in her snowsuit and James in his diaper and sun hat. He stayed inside.
Thanks for the 4T coat, boots, and snowsuit, Nana Jana!
Wearing my mittens gives Amelie giant hands!

Snowsuits and Things
More fun animation from the Google team:

More Artwork
While we're on the artwork theme, here are some pictures I've taken of the kids' creations. The first 3 are by James:
This one looks really weirdly like a sad bug/helicopter:
This one I thought looked strangely like India:
Mixed media:

And the rest are by Amelie.

Painting
I'm having an inordinate amount of trouble organizing my photos (this is what happens when they get so backlogged.) BUT here are some from when we were snowed in for so long. A big thanks to my friend Cabell for the taping-the-paper-to-the-floor tip.
Look at those sexy legs in the background!
They paint really well together, though there's sometimes some jealousy over the water bowl.
And then my google backup made this fun GIF:

Bootheel Christmas 2013
Apparently, I never made a post about visiting the bootheel around Christmas. (And apparently I didn't take very many photos, either!) Here's an unfortunately slightly blurry picture of all of us who got together on my mom's side. We were glad Grandpa Leroy got to come home from the nursing home for the big gathering.
(Across the back, starting from the left): Uncle Darrin, Cousin Cameron, Grandma Doris, Grandpa Leroy, Cousin Josie, Aunt Tara, Nana Jana, Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Kerry, Uncle Ken, Cousin Bradley, Aunt Jess, Cousin Brad, Baby Hayes.
(Front row, from left): Aunt Lana, Cousin Darri, Oli (the dog), Amelie, Aunt Holly, Brittany, Great-Aunt Helen, Sam, James, Crystal, Cousin Layla.
James and his second cousin Hayes are just about the same size:
Well, at least all 4 of them are in the frame in this one! Hayes looks a little suspicious.
More cousins! Can you believe how big these two are getting?
Amelie and her cousin Josie were wild things! (They're just about the same size, too.)
And Holly worked on the scrapbook, as usual.

Amelie Says
Sam was talking to Amelie about school, and she told him, "Mama says I'm not big enough for Kindergarten. ... I'm too medium!"
Also about school: "I want to go to my English school every day." (She means Sunday School, because they speak English there versus her French school.) When that wasn't quite right, she decided it was Spanish school.
When we were watching the couples Olympic figure skating, Amelie made the comment, "They are going to get married someday."
I asked if she wanted her toast whole or cut in half, and when I went to cut it straight up and down, ,she directed me, "No, cut it the dangle way."
We get Sports Illustrated, and when the swimsuit edition came, Amelie was looking at it on the couch. Sam asked what she was looking at and she said, "I'm only reading the words!"
When we were eating at Subway, I asked Amelie what she thought Dada was doing. She said, "Working." I said, "Don't you maybe think he eats lunch, too?" I asked what he did at work, and she replied, "Earn money." I laughed and asked what she thought I did at work, and she said, "Teach!"
In other news and notes, she drew a person with a body, arms, legs, and a life vest. This is a huge leap - up til now, her drawings have been scribbles.
Sam and I need to sit down and come up with a list of words James can say for his upcoming 18-month appointment. The most common one is probably, "MINE!"
