I miss you guys!

December 17, 2009

Man I miss posting here. Even my husband mentioned that I have been neglecting the blog lately. :-(
But it’s continued to be a busy couple of weeks with pictures to edit (some more than others…), Christmas cards to design (and re-design), and shopping to do.
I think we are ready for Christmas and I cannot WAIT to capture the look on Mallory’s face when she sees what Santa brought her. :-)

Carson is getting more mobile and brave every day. He pulls himself up on EVERY.THING. He finally started to crawl on his hands and knees (instead of the army …

Hey Santa Baby

December 9, 2009

We had plans set up for a visit to Santa on Saturday. Mallory’s friend’s grandpa has a Santa outfit and we were going to go see him – I figured we’d get our Santa picture then because I expected Mallory to not want anything to do with Santa. But because we told her Alli’s grandpa is just one of Santa’s helpers, I wanted to see how she did with a “real” Santa.
So when I picked the kids up from daycare today, I told Mallory we were going to see Santa. She screeched and started yelling to all of her friends …

Trouble with a capital T

December 6, 2009

Carson found the Christmas tree.
And he found the jingle bells that Mallory hung a little too low.

He also found behind the tree:

We are in trouble.

Chip off the old block…

December 4, 2009

Could my son look ANY more like his dad?
Even the hair sticking out over their left ears.

I am almost done with all my photo editing and Christmas card creating and will soon be back to overshare about my family’s every-day escapades.

A Busy Camera

November 29, 2009

Well – first off – happy belated thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great weekend surrounded by family & friends.
And now I’ll go into detail for why I haven’t posted in a week.
I started to feel sick a week ago (the day after the OSU game) – and felt progressively worse as the week went along. If I hadn’t already burned up six sick days (of the 15 I get starting October 1), I totally would have stayed home at least one day last week. But it just felt like a horrible head cold and I feel guilty if I …

My Girl

November 18, 2009

I hate when things like life and other responsibilities get in the way of my blogging. I miss writing here when I’m away too long ;-)
We had another birthday party for Mallory this past weekend – this one was for my family (my mom’s birthday is two days before Mallory’s so they get a joint celebration every year). Mallory got a cute outfit and a daily planner wall thingy from my mom, a new “hat doll” from my sister (a doll that is wearing a hat), and a cool dollhouse from my dad (I had sent my dad plans for …

Tank + food = TLA

November 16, 2009

The Tankster is a big fan of food. He is now getting three meals a day, in addition to 5-6 bottles/nursing sessions.
Fruit & cereal for breakfast, veggies & cereal for lunch, and then for dinner we try to give him a jar of Gerbers “3rd food” (lasagna, turkey & veggies, etc).
He eats fruit from the jar. And he eats veggies from the jar.
But those 3rd food “meals” in a jar?
Nope.
He MUST have some of what we are having for dinner. If we are having any type of meat – he gets cranky if I try to …

I Spy

November 14, 2009

Do you see it?
No, not the big chubby cheeks and triple chin.

Look what finally showed up yesterday, after weeks and weeks of teasing (and teething)?
