Snow day with the girls

We had about 4-6 inches of snow overnight (along with some freezing rain), which meant that Atlanta completely shut down. So we stayed home today. Madeleine had a little scrape on her cheek while sledding down our driveway, but she was a chipper girl this afternoon and was a great big sister playing with Emma.

So little....

Little mouth...

Little hands....

Little feet! It makes us a little sad that she will grow so quickly....

The official Christmas photo!

This was our official photo for Christmas 2010. We had the girls in their Christmas outfits and then attempted a photo. I hope that sometime, Frank will post the outtakes, because their were many. Madeleine was looking the wrong way, or she'd have a silly face, etc. Then Emma was either crying or also looking the wrong way, or both. If you look closely, you will see a hint of a white sleeve behind Emma's elbow--that would be Megan's sleeve, as she hid behind the table and helped 'hold' Emma for Madeleine. Hopefully next year's Christmas photo will be an easier process!

Our little Alfalfa

Just like Madeleine did, Emma's starting to lose her hair. She actually has a sort of "male pattern baldness" appearance: much of her hair still is in place on the lower back of her head, but then it thins out as you get closer to the top. Oddly enough, though, she still has this little tuft of longer hair on the top of her head...I wonder how long we'll be able to make her look like Alfalfa.

We have good days....
