Thanksgiving weekend shenanigans!

Well, Thanksgiving break is winding down and we wanted to give you a sneak peek into our....well..."Superchickness" ways... Here are a few of the highlights.


Violet got her first taste of "real" food. Sweet Potato baby food at Thanksgiving! She was so excited that something tasted different than NEOCATE, her horrible prescription formula, that she wouldn't stop grinning. She was so excited that she'd forget to swallow and it would all dribble right back out! We are watching our sweet baby for allergic reactions and, Praise JESUS, she can eat Sweet Potatoes!

Eating with Josh:

Ruby: "Dad, May I have some peanut butter for my apples?"

Then, she looked down at her plate, realizing there were no more apple slices and
said,
"And some more apples for my Peanut butter?"

At dinner:

Heidi: "Ruby, you have to eat two more bites of broccoli before I will give you more yogurt. It will help you grow big and strong."

Ruby: "No thanks, Mom. I just want to stay a little grrrrr." (girl)

Playing with Grandpa:

When asked by Granpda to play Doctor together, Ruby replied,
"No Thanks, Grandpa. I'm busy.

Grandma Explaining Thanksgiving:

Grandma: "Ruby, at Thanksgiving dinner, we will go around the table and say what we are thankful for." What do you think you will say when it's your turn?"

Ruby: "Do you know what I am thankful for? Well, ...I'll tell you WHO! That little Grrrr right there!!! (pointing to Violet.)

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Happy Birthday to Grandpa! We know your birthday was actually yesterday, but the Superchicks wanted to make sure we wished you a wonderful 59th.. I mean, 43rd birthday! You are a great Dad and Grandpa and Father-in-law!

As told by Grandpa...

Ruby's 3rd birthday PARTY was a few days before her birthday.

AT Pei-wei's on Sunday night.. we were thru eating.. I said to Ruby, " I sure wish I could get a kiss from a 3 year old girl.."

Ruby thought a minute, then said "Grandpa, I'm still 2 years old.." (Which she was..)

Happy Birthday, Uncle Mark!

There once was an Uncle named Mark
Who really was much like a spark
He was funny and kind
and an "Uncle Sublime"
and he really could sing like a lark.


I think that limerick means "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" and "THE SUPERCHICKS LOVE YOU"!

Happy Birthday Opa!!!

Happy Birthday, Dad, Bill, Opa...and all of the other aliases...

We love and miss you and are so glad to have you in our lives! Ruby says "I want to play harmonica with you at Christmas!" Violet says...ummm...well, she's having a hard time forming the words, but her smile says it all!

Love,

The Superchicks

2 teeth!

Well, we finally understand why Violet has been a bit upset for the last two weeks... She has two new teeth! Her bottom teeth sprouted...one last week and one yesterday. I think she is a bit on the early side as far as teething is concerned, but she is sure proud of them! She sucks her thumb quite a bit more and puts anything she can get her tiny hands on in her mouth! We explained to Ruby that just because Violet has 2 teeth now, she couldn't eat raisins yet. Ruby is longing for a sister tea party. Soon, sweet girl, soon...
