This post is mostly just pictures of Jaina, actually. I guess Reilly didn't do anything that interesting in the first week or so we were home. That's fairly unlikely, but he also doesn't like getting his picture taken as much as this cute 2-year-old:
Poor Jaina has been having on and off days. I'm pretty sure she's working on her 2-year-molars (the same ones Reilly is still trying to finish off, actually). One morning she was being kind of grouchy, and the last time I saw her, at about 10, she had stolen her elephant and pacifiers out of her crib. I told her to go put them up. She just looked at me, so I said to go put them up, or go to bed! (they're only for sleeping) After that I didn't hear her for a while, and assumed she had gone downstairs to find Reilly. After a bit I decided I should check on them, but she wasn't with him. I thought maybe she had closed herself in a bedroom and had found something to play with so quietly I hadn't heard her, but when I opened her door, this is what I found:
My children do NOT do this. They only go to sleep in their beds and, occasionally, their car seats. But I guess she found a pillow on the floor in her room too, and the teething (or whatever) had her tired enough to just go to sleep! This is at about 10:30 am, and she generally gets up at 8! She slept about an hour and a half, which isn't the same length as her normal naps, but it worked out really well that day, because we had an appointment to be to by 2...
Mostly the kids just loved beig home and actually getting to play with their Christmas toys. (they didn't get to do a lot of that in Arizona, because we packed most of them up pretty quickly, or we knew we'd be leaving pieces of everything behind...) Here is Jaina playing with her first puzzles. Reilly LOVES puzzles, and she always wants to do them to. She's actually starting to get good at these. 
And here are the kids having lunch at their picnic table Grandma and Grandpa Kerrigan got them. That thing is really handy sometimes, and they think it's neat.

I love it when they put themselves to bed! Also I love the little table. I wish we had one.
Wow! I can't believe she fell asleep on the floor so early in the day-that is so dang cute! I just love your family picture, it must be nice to have pictures turn out good :) Ours wasn't terrible, in fact I impressed with what we got-but I think I kind of give up on EVERYONE looking good in the same picture, especially if we're adding yet another one. Yeah-I think good family pics are in the past and future for us-not the present. Oh, and that's a cute kid table.
sorry-I'm carrying on..and on...and on...
