Train up a child.........

It's nice to know that my little sisters and brothers are being brought up right.

How do I know this? Well, here's proof.

Boaz: What's that computer that's really good?

Johanna: There's lots of them ( thinking he means a specific compy)

Boaz: I mean the ones that don't get viruses

Johanna: Apple

Boaz: Yeah, that's what it is! Apple.

See what I mean?

Newest member of the Draper family...Natasha Grace!

We are all exited to announce the most recent addition to the Draper Family. Natasha Grace Draper! Born on the Morning of Christmas at 1:16, the perfect little angle has arrived to bless TJ and Rachel Draper. Allen has been so much fun, now the fun is doubled! and so is the trouble! Bring it on!

The other day I was throwing away all the old magazine and got caught by Abigail who quickly "rescued" them all.
She then proceeded to cut out all the models and, wallah! Paper dolls!

Gettysburg

Oh, Wow! I didn't realize how long it'd been since we updated this blog :(

Well if there's still anyone out there who read reads this thing I got a few pictures of Levi's recent hands-on history lesson.

Levi is the family civil war buff so when Mom and Dad decided to take a trip to PA with some friends They decided to take Levi and make a side trip to Gettysburg. I think saying that Levi was thrilled would be an understatement:P

Here's the three of them in front of a really pretty view



Here's Mr. Castille and His daughter Christy checking out the guns that started the battle





Levi and Sean Castille "firing" what Levi tells me was the civil wars' best cannon.



Here's Devil's den taken from Little round top



And of course the place where Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg adress




Gravestones

It was fun. Here are all of us.

Unwrapping the presents.
