Over

The three girls head back to school tomorrow... bringing an all too soon end

to Christmas vacation.

I'm certain Kean will go through withdrawal.

He loves the loudness and silliness that comes with three girls.

Please take notice of his hair coming in.

Personally, I think he's beginning to favor Yoda.

And by the way, his hair is much blonder this time around.

 As a belated birthday gift, Greer gave me a concert on her violin.

 She was sure fun to listen to... but Kean was a blast to watch.

He loves music and was quite enamored with her playing.

 Reese, on the other hand, had a hard time sitting still and

instead commandeered Kean's helmet and cycle for a spin.

Byron took Keanut for his obligatory tractor ride.

This time, however, Kean decided it was high time he learned how to drive.

Watch for him to take the wheel....

On a very bright note, Holland offered to babysit for a couple of

hours so Byron and I could run out for a birthday dinner.

We had Thai food and found this fabulous restaurant (after

finding the one we wanted to go to was closed for New Years).

It was a good night.
