The girls were looking at their baby albums. My middle daughter, the most dramatic of the bunch by far, announced in a grandiose voice, “It’s time for the tale of the babies! Part One: Baby Gemma grows up!”
Also while looking at their pictures they saw their favorite stuffed animals when they were brand new. “Look how young Momma Bear and Ribbity are! Momma Bear was so fluffy back then.” I couldn’t help but laugh. They sounded like me when I look at pictures of my husband and myself from long ago. We were both much fluffier then.

I’m not fat. I’s fluffy.

Who doesn’t love fluffy?

You say “fluffy” like it is a bad thing. Bumpy is bad, fluffy is still acceptable.

Bumpy could be good, right? Like muscles? I could definitely stand to be more bumpy!

Perhaps you can work on your bumps for the new year?

I’ve slowly already started thanks to Wii Fit. It’s amazing that it can make exercising actually fun!

We have a Wii system too and the Wii Fit sounds like a lot of fun! I always get a good workout when I play the tennis matches! I can’t lift my arms up the next day afterwards!

It is fun. I would like to get a sports game, too, just to vary it up. I could definitely use some arm soreness!

We also hold bowling tourneys in our house too! I am getting good at virtual bowling! What? You don’t have a sports game? Ours came with our Wii System! Check to see if you already have it! That is where the tennis game is!

I got mine off Craigslist, so, no, no tennis. Bowling sounds like loads of fun. My husband and I like competing for Fit scores. I’ll look into sports games. The hubs will love it!

We love the sports disk! Loads of fun! They also have Boxing, Bowling, Golf, Tennis and Baseball on our sports disk! If you want a workout….do the boxing one! I stink at baseball.

Wow. There’s one disk that has all those sports on it? Cool. I’ll have to look for that. There is a boxing game on Fit, but I’m lousy at it. 😦

Yep! All of these are on one disk. The front cover just says “Wii Sports”! I hope you can find it, because we have had so much fun playing these games!

A friend has it and is going to let me borrow it. I may end up buying it myself, too. It will be terrific during the next two weeks of holiday break. Looking forward to it! Grateful to you!

I was just looking at old photos the other day, too. Nothing like a year-by-year inside look at our own aging…

I know, isn’t it depressing? Fun 2003 photo on your site, though. How different children are from that age to now, am I right? It’s like they’re completely different people. It’s frightening.

Frightening but also kind of cool. I just wish once a year we could have a travel-back-in-time day where we could go back to a time where our kids were little, just for a day. Oh, to smell those sweet baby heads again. 🙂

That would be super neat! I could totally get behind that concept. Unless, of course, it just makes us feel sad… or old.

Cuddling with our favorite fluffies never goes out of style, eh? And in regards to your Reply above, yes I absolutely hate the thought of looking at the kids pics and seeing how far they have come then thinking of those same years for me and where did they go? Happy Holidays PIF!
