Sophie made the scarab beetle that Drue and Maggie brought her from Egypt into a necklace. Scarab beetles are symbols of good luck, but in case the cosmos isn't paying attention, Sophie spelled out "Good Luck" with alphabet beads. She's worn it to school a few times.


Gibson can pull himself up now and is directing his energy at learning to climb stairs. Going up is the easy part, little buddy.


We set our Christmas tree up on Friday. The kids decorated themselves before they decorated the tree. December is the one month of the year Becky turns off NPR (mostly) and listens to music. We love listening to Christmas music at accuradio.com. They have 30 different holiday channels, from traditional to rock to the all Silent Night channel. Becky's favorite channel is the playlist from The Drive- a great modern mix with some sentimentality and occasional silliness.


Here are the kids ready for church. Yes, they are the cutest kids on the planet. Becky was supposed to take Gibson to Brandan after Sunday School and before Priesthood, but he was so charming, she kept him. Brandan can have him when he's fussy.
