Christmas with the Ranks

Feliz Cumpleanos Joe Bahunglenuts!

Not everyday do I take the time to thank the man that stands by me day in and out! He is truly a marvel. Whether it be washing dishes, wiping behinds, scrubbing floors, reasoning with two young ladies, or calming a fussy baby he is a super star. My partner in crime, Joe Bahunglenuts, the only man who can feed Claudia peas and help Eloise understand why she doesn't have a "special" chair. We love you!

Happy Birthday.

Snapshots

These are a few snapshots from the past weeks. Hopefully I'm sharing why Christmas is such a special time of year.

The Wheels on the Bus go...

Contrary to Miss Junie B. Jones summation of the smelly yellow school bus the Rank girls loved their first ride.  Admittedly it does help to have your sister right there with you to ease the school bus jitters.  Claudia was asking this morning what it was like to ride on a bus and Eloise replied "Bumpety bump bump"

Choo-choo

We have been busy playing in our newly fallen snow and filling our bellies with holiday sweets.  Thought we would share some of our joy!  Notice that the babies are not pictured because that would be two little bodies lying flat on the ground stuffed into snowsuits screaming!  Merry holidays.
