Big Day at the Green House - Twin Three Year Olds

Remember what it is like to be three. Addie and Jazz just got there to day. What fun. Cakes and candles. Hamburgers and french fries at Papa place. New dress to twirl in. Just too much fun. Big party tomorrow with all of their little friends. Watch the Miriam blog for more details.

Model Material - Sweet Stella

Stella is pictured here with dear friend Mary Magnus, the Green children's extra set of grandparents. Stella is now modeling for money. We are waiting for her big breakthrough on the cover of some national magazine. Keep working Stella!

SLS Trip To Jefferson City MO Capitol

Thomas Hart Benton painted a mural in the Missouri Capitol building. I love his work. He so well captures the spirit of hard working Missourians.

This one nearly got him in trouble as it was considered to risque for the walls of the hallowed halls of the Capitol building. Seems pretty tame by today's standards. Butt who am I to say?

Must have a group shot of the seventh graders by TJ himself. We all had a great time.

This is a memorial to the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Now for your quiz. What is Lewis's first name. Clark's first name? What was the name of their faithful dog - hint, it starts with an "s". Oh - ye old salts will never get it... Shiver My Timbers....

More Babies Being Added

Mary, Jennifer's sister, and her daughter Phillis, pose at a baby shower held for Baby Parker in the Kansas City area by Tiffany Pattison.

Phillis displays a knitted baby afghan made in honor of Grandma Lois and passed along by Miriam. Sister Emily looks on.

Mary, Phillis, and Phillis' mother-in-law, Kari Parker pose for a photo.

Little Helpers

Where did the month go? I took a little break from the blog for a time of thought and introspection. I was seeking answers to some of life's deeper questions. I am happy to report that when looking deeper I discovered that I am very shallow, much like the Platte River in Nebraska. So back to my shallow ways and blogs. I thought I would share this lovely picture of Addie and Jazz helping PaPa do the dishes. It is so rewarding to see the next generation start down the path of not using those wasteful automatic dishwashing machines... Hands On is always better!

Better Pictures- Still Trying

Alex, Miriam and the girls came over for supper on Sunday. My sweet daughter says, "Could you try to take some nicer pictures of the girls? Your last few blog photos made them look like ragmuffins." Well, that set the bar a little higher, but before I go on, I threw in the snow pictures because I had been lamenting the new snow on Friday and thus no snow day. Well it snowed most of the day and by Saturday morning we had a great winter wonderland.

Here are some Addie pictures. She is harder to catch with a great photo. They would mostly be action shots. Better Mimi?

Jazz loves to have her picture taken. She sits; she smiles; she waits until you get all the camera things ready and she still looks and smiles.

This one, Stella, will be a heart stealer as time goes on... In fact, she has her first modeling gig tomorrow. She spends lots of time watching her big sisters.

The Breath of God - Life Sunday - Part 5

Pastor Maas talked about life and the breath of God bring life as part of our celebration of "Life Sunday." Snickel and Frizt each got a "blower" as they called them. We heard lots from these blowers all morning. Papa even had to repair the blowers when the paper failed from too much spit... Oh the joys of little ones...
