Correcting the Image

My parents are visiting over Christmas, and once when Sophia was throwing a fit my dad remarked that the video clips on the blog aren't entirely accurate. I'd figured who wants to watch a video of a crying child? But in an effort to correct the inaccurately rosy picture I've been portraying, here is a video of upset Sophia. Why she was upset no one really knows. (Oops. Guess I took this vertically!)

Colors

Sophia has recently learned eight colors from a puzzle Grandma and Grandpa gave her. But she hasn't quite figured out that those words can also be used to describe objects in addition to these particular puzzle pieces. We'll keep working on it.

Carols in the Courtyard

Here are students from the CU at Guy's singing "Carols in the Courtyard" on their campus. The service was held outside to attract passers-by to join in the singing and to hear about the true meaning of Christmas through the words of traditional Christmas carols.

Thanksgiving

Here's a short video clip of the fellow Americans with whom we celebrated Thanksgiving. We managed to find a turkey at our local grocery store, and all of the food we made (Wes cooked most of it, but I pitched in, too) turned out well, but making it was a lot of work. Our hats are off to all you moms, grandmas, and aunts who've been doing this effortlessly for years!
