I'm baaaaaaack :) Hope everyone had a fun/safe New Year. The Kinloch clan is still doing well. Tenley is still playing with her musical toy and grabbing her toes and Will is still putting anything he can grab into his mouth.

December 30, 2010

My last blog post for 2010. What a crazy year it has been. Uncle J and I are off to get some rest and relaxation in the Caribbean sun, while my sis, Bill, and twins are off to Pittsburgh to see the Winter Classic (Capitals vs Penguins) and visit with family. Thank you to everyone who has viewed the blog throughout the year - you've given me the motivation to keep posting away. I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years! See you in 2011!

When I visited MD a few weeks ago I got to witness Tenley playing with one of her favorite toys in Mommy and Daddy's room. She likes to take the box of long cotton tipped applicators and take the packs of two out of the box one-by-one until the box is empty. Her focus during this event is absolutely riveting, I don't even think she blinks until they are all out.
Here are pictures of Tenley and Will on a big stuffed horse. To recap, in their first year of life, they have been out on the ice rink and been placed on horses. I think Mom and Dad are already starting to have some major influence here :)

I hope everyone had a merry, merry Christmas! Mommy was a bit busy with work (the newbie got stuck doing the Holiday on-call shifts) but she still got to have Christmas morning with the kids.

December 24, 2010

Christmas Eve!! The Twins are debuting their acting skills this evening at the Bethany Methodist Church. They are playing baby Jesus in the Church Play (Will plays Jesus the fist half of the show and Tenley plays Jesus the second half of the show). They even get to wear their Christening gowns again! Here are a few pics from their rehearsal the other night.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
