Joel's Christmas Decorations

December 26, 2008



Why am I posting pictures of Joel's Christmas decorations?  Well... it was a bit of an obsession for Joel.  From Thanksgiving to Christmas we made Christmas decorations nearly every day.  We painted tree ornaments, cut out snowflakes, made paper chains... what else... we made Christmas cards. It was insane.

Leading up to Christmas we also read every Christmas themed book the library had and watched every Christmas movie we could get our hands on... except A Christmas Story, which is Aaron's favorite.  We were going to watch it on Christmas Eve, but there was too much other stuff we wanted to stuff into that day, including driving around Indianapolis looking at al the Christmas lights.

Joel called his room Christmas World.  He got really angry at me because I kept on calling it winter wonderland. WHOOPS!  He had a nativity scene, a christmas tree, the chains we made with Jamia, snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and all the christmas doodads he could persuade me he needed.

Solomon's secret Life

October 07, 2008
When we came back from Sandiego, Solomon and Jeremiah were less than thrilled to see us. That is because they were cared for in our absence by Matt and Greg who stayed at our house, Marlyn who cared for them after Mat and Greg left, and Jamia, Jermani, David, Anne and Steve who took Solomon for walks!

Here is Jamia's account of her time with Solomon!
 
Solomon was overly excited to see Jamia and Jermani appear in his doorway early in the evening of September 19th.  Solomon took Jermani on a walk and showed her the White River from the lookout point in Broad Ripple Park .
 
Solomon was so excited that Jamia had to take over the leash on the way back.  Jamia was worried he was so social that he might try to visit with other dogs in passing.

 
Solomon and Jermani insisted that they walk together, so Jamia gave in.  They ran way ahead, but waited for Jamia to cross Evanston Avenue.



 
David also joined the outing, but didn't want there to be any proof that he was there

 
Jamia, David, Jermani, and Solomon all had a fun outing.
