Learning to Share (Germs)

For the first time in a long time, we no longer live in the same town as our friends Chuck and Jodie.  Chuck has been a staple at many a holiday function for the past eleven-plus years, and Dean and I commented that since our initial move to Texas, we have probably spent more holiday time with each other than with our own families.  So, yesterday we made the quick two and a half hour drive to Mississippi to catch up with Uncle Chuck, Aunt Jo-Jo, and little Caroline.  It was so great seeing you guys, and we love your new house.  Thank for the hospitality. 

Since we last saw Caroline, she has gone from crawling to walking.  She has gotten a mouthful of teeth.  She celebrated her one year birthday.  I am pretty sure her hair has gotten redder.  She has become quite the busy body getting into everything and keeping her Momma hopping.  She gives big smiles, laughs loud and eats her veggies.  Noah could learn a thing or two from little miss.

I love seeing Noah and Caroline side by side.  Doesn't he look so tall?  Notice Noah's sippy cup.

 

 Notice the sippy cup switcharoo.  Nothing like sharing a sip among friends.  Jo-Jo and I really tried to keep them straight, but these two each have a mind of their own.

 Unfortunately, Caroline got the raw end of the deal... an empty sip.  Although, she was drinking prune juice, so it's really a toss up in my mind.

 Mine.

 Sippy cups are one thing Caroline, but good luck trying to steal that stick.
