What do you mean this isn’t my present?
All gifts are subject to an inspection by Will.
Christmas Morning!
Christmas morning at the Scheib’s in Mobile, Alabama. With Granna, PapPap, Emily, and Skip. (And of course us and Will!)
We started our morning with Will exploring the Christmas loot…
More Christmas Moments…
Having Will is the BEST present!!
Jack-n-the-Box
We opened a few toys for Will on Christmas Eve. Granna and Will played with the Jack-in-the-Box for most of the night!
Christmas Fun
So far, our Christmas fun has included:
— Demonstrations from Will: clapping, stepping, climbing, zerbering, raspberry-ing and dancing.
— Many rounds of “Settlers of Catan”, mostly late at night when Will is asleep, making us all very tired in the morning
— Emily and I bonding over pedicures and gossiping with Annette
— Making scrapbook pages with Emily (and some help from Skip!)
— Skip’s reactions to diaper changes (he used three wipes to pick up the diaper to throw it away)
— PapPap using pillows to knock Will over (Will LOVES this and now flings himself head-first at any pillow he sees)
Fun with PapPap
Will and PapPap have a new game. PapPap will sing with Will in his arms in front of the mirror in the hallway. In time to the music, at the appropriate points, Will bumps his head against the mirror. Example:
“Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday…”
“BUMP”
“Everyone dancing merrily in the new old fashion way….”
“BUMP”
Then, after we all laugh, Will claps his hands. “Hooray!”
(After so many bumps, I guess Will won’t be attending Harvard…?)
Hall Bath – AFTER
The Hall Bath, December 13, 2004. We switched the door around (to allow more space from the door footprint), put in a new toliet and sink, put in wainscotting, painted, repaired plumbing (including a serious flooding pipe burst one night at 11:56pm), cleaned up the shower, framed out the shower, and installed a closet above the shower (the fun of 12 foot ceilings!) New fixtures, mirror, and light as well. Still some finish work to do on the closet, but a great finished product!!

Will Asleep in Aunt Amy’s arms
Will, asleep in Amy’s arms when we came home from the holiday party last Friday night. What a great Aunt!
