Happy New Year!


Joel overlooking some cool planes at the Udvar Hazy Smithsonian

Eli at the Smithsonian too...his favorite part....pushing Joel in the stroller :)

As 2010 is only a few hours away, it's time to post my New Year's Resolution so that all of our blog followers can hold me accountable...wait a sec, do I really want to put myself out there like that?!?! Hmmm.....well, I know what it is and I will be trying my best to stick to it!

Wishing everyone a happy and HEALTHY 2010!!!!!!!!!!

Old Man Winter

Joel seems to like his new WV coat!
I think he knows he's cute :)
The boys got new winter coats (at out local consignment store- gotta love it)
We are gearing up for lots of snow this year...at least we hope so!
My first baking project for Eli & Joel's daycare Christmas party...and yes, they call it a Christmas party! Santa may even be stopping by for a visit!

The boys had two solid weeks of good health and perfect attendance at school :) Then, Joel spiked a fever and had a febrile seizure over the weekend. It's actually his second, but the first time we second guessed ourselves...after a trip to the ER and a trip to his doctor, both boys are on an antibiotic for bronchitis and Joel will begin a medication for asthma/allergies once he is feeling better. Too soon to tell if he indeed has asthma, however he seems to have everything else Randy does, so why not add that in the mix?!?
Eli's speech is coming along very well. He is still obsessed with the alphabet! Last night, he shocked us by saying "Purple" while he was holding a purple duplo!!
The boys have been coming home every day with the neatest arts & crafts projects from school and both get excited when we pull into the parking lot in the morning. Talk about making me feel better about working and not staying at home with them!! That being said, I am hoping for some SNOW days :)

The Gingerbread House

This is neat...we get to eat candy and occasionally put some on this house!
Oooo...I can eat this white stuff!
Finger lickin' good!
Daddy & his boys with their finished gingerbread house
Sugar Coma
I could still eat more candy!
Do you like my new hat?

I look cute in it too!
