Precious Moments
When Elliot was little he reminded us of a little hobbit child...

Sapphira reminds us of a Precious Moments baby...

New Year
The first morning of the new year, Elliot came into my room. He was looking cute and I rolled over to kiss him. My kiss was derailed by an accidental headbutt from him which led to my nose bleeding and much pain. Not a great way to start the year, I thought. Luckily the rest of the day was much better than the beginning.
Setting goals or resolutions always makes me want to fight against them so I trick myself by using the word "intentions" instead. It's a good thing I'm so easy to trick. So here a few of my New Years' Intentions....
1. Get savings back in order.
2. Become a highly skilled ninja.
3. Stock up on new tattoos and maybe a new piercing or two. I'm disappointed in myself for getting NO tattoos last year. If I plan on getting more of my body tattooed than not, I really need to get busy!
4. I hate sewing but I want to be able to sew better so I hope to make a couple things that are a wee bit more complex than receiving blankets.
5. Using my ninja skills, take over China, India, and Tasmania.
I asked Daniel what his New Years' Intentions are but 30 minutes later I realized I hadn't listened to a word he said. So here is what I came up with for Daniel's New Years' Intentions.
1. Keep the house spotless 24/7 (this includes the car too).
2. Increase the number of editing projects I am working on but decrease the amount of time it takes me to do them.
3. Become the president of China, India, and Tasmania before Rose becomes a Ninja to aid in her coup.
4. Stop eating food off the floor or food that has been previously chewed by a child and then spit out.
5. Invent a device to make the kids sleep from 7pm to 10am.

Cheerio
This is Sapphira's latest trick that just about killed Elliot. He found it immensely hilarious, as did Daniel and I.

Tea Time
Elliot and Sapphira requested tea time on the deck (Sapphira was especially pushy about it). I agreed. Good thing because it made for some cute pictures.
Elliot prepares the tea while Sapphira shows me her lioness impression. It was a bit more squealy than a real lioness but it was still a good impression.
Elliot counters with his monkey impression which is nothing like a monkey but still a good monkey impression.
Sapphira chats with Elliot while he concentrates on his tea cup.
Then I become much too paranoid to leave her sitting in a chair with no straps. Elliot disapproves.
Sapphira uses her magic and changes the flowers from black and white to color.
Elliot gets jealous and turns his cup into the Holy Grail.
And then turns the whole tea set.
Sapphira isn't impressed.
Upset, Elliot leaves the table to head to the land of color and to blow bubbles.
Sapphira decides to follow him so she can monitor the situation.
Elliot blows bubbles for Sapphira.
Sapphira approves!
