Happy New Year!

Just for you, to start the year off right... a year of Yost! You lucky reader you.



The featured song is "Laissez Faire" from Jeremy Fisher's new album Flood.


While Jeff & Katie were visiting for dinner,  we showed them the video and Teresa gave a running commentary.  At their behest Ken filmed Teresa watching the video and has included this second video for your entertainment.  Sadly though, Teresa's first video commentary with Jeff was slightly better...

Frances Update!

In exciting news, Frances just pointed at and correctly verbalized the names of all the foods on her plate! Bananas, crackers & cheese!

In other news after being around her for so many full days, I am beginning to understand her pretty well.

Christmas Morning

Christmas at the Yost house was a grand, chaotic affair. The girls got lots of great gifts from friends, family, and Santa and we had a great time with family in Stonewall and Steinbach. We even switched it up this year and skyped with the Ottawa Yosts, which was an okay replacement, but not nearly as fun as being there in person.

 Teresa, the shyest angel in heaven.

 Christmas Eve appi party!

 Christmas morning, and someone's excited!

 Stocking time!

 Finally, the long awaited Sleeping Beauty Barbie.

 Santa brought Frances Olivia's family in doll form.

 Ken and I took the girls out shopping this year to pick presents. Teresa thought Ken would like "lots of different types of beer". She was correct.

More beads then they ever though imaginable! Thanks Anna! I just really love this picture of Frances.
