These pictures were taken with a tree from our backyard on Thanksgiving Day. Tirzah is seven, Hardy is five, Acarith is two-and-a-half, and Selah is eight months. We also got family pictures and other varieties, but I don’t want to post them because they will be on our Christmas card.

An update on Selah: As soon as she started wearing the helmet, she became cranky. We weren’t sure if the helmet was too tight or what, but then on Sunday when she started getting a high temperature, we discovered she was getting her first tooth! (And I’m hoping another one pops up; why waste all that crankiness for just one tooth? J) Today was her first day of no temperature, and she wore the helmet all day long, except for one hour, and was not cranky one bit. I am so thankful she has adjusted just fine to the helmet.
