Goodbye SINGLEYBLOG

Don't worry. We're just moving to another corner of the interwebs. We felt kind of silly with the word "blog" in the title (not to mention our last name). Our blog was also in dire need of a face-lift, so it was time to say goodbye to blogger. Please feel free to visit us at our new home.

Skipping

JaneSkipping from Bladford Shingley on Vimeo.

I just found this while cleaning up our computer files. Jane had just turned three and desperately wanted to skip. Perseverance paid off; she was skipping a few months later.

One Year Older.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful, strong, thoughtful, intelligent, encouraging, wonderful mother.

December 2010.

Now that December is over, we can do a better job looking back at it.
One of us had more pictures taken of her in her crib, and started sleeping on her tummy sometimes.

the flash captures that drool spot so perfectly...
One of us had school spirit week. This was crazy hair day. Below: Mix and Match day (Jane's dress is backwards).

One of us is getting better at reading and wanted to read to the littlest one.

We decorated for Christmas.

One of us made this advent calendar and was proud of herself.

One of us made these stockings in the nick of time. He was truly inspired.

One of us started to play more.

One of us turned six months old at the beginning of December.

We had a Christmas Eve.

We played with Brio trains (thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Gibson!), ate a nice ham dinner, acted out the Nativity with the Little People Nativity set, and put on Christmas pajamas.

We had a Christmas.

We made gingerbread. After Christmas. Cheaper candy=awesome.

we learned new tricks.

Christmas day=Santa brought everyone at least one thing they wanted (Mulan for Jane, donut for Grey, musical fox for Flora); video-conferencing with both sets of grandparents; staying in our pajamas all day; watching Elf; drinking San Pallegrino and eating lots of sweets. The kids played all day long with new toys. Grey loves his new cape and mask and wore them while mini Batman and Robin had all kinds of adventures in their cave while Jane and Brad enjoyed building a cozy cottage from Jane's new Lego set (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Singley!) Obviously we were having too much fun to take more pictures the rest of the day. I love having the holidays at the end of the year--they're a wonderful to celebrate a wonderful year. 2010 was a great one, and we are excited to see what 2011 has in store.

November 2010.

One of us gave a talk in primary.

One of us came to sit at the table.

We had a snowstorm.

When the snow started to melt, the kids went out in their pjs and knocked the snowman over. They told us about it later.

One of us played with tee shirts.

We had more babies in the house.

One of us has only a few shots of her this fall and hopes she knows she is loved.

we made a Thanksgiving.
