Updates

Hello all!
So I haven't been keeping up with the updates as much as I've wanted, so here's the latest for Christmas and January. As you can see, we made gingerbread houses at Christmas time. Unfortunately these are the only pics that got taken for Christmas. When I did the last blog, the camera got lost in the piles around the desk and we couldn't find it. I didn't even think to go get a disposable from Walgreens right up the street---DUH! But the kids loved their gifts and we had a pretty relaxing holiday. Beau's parents also came up and it was nice to see them and the kids got to hang out with them for a few days. I actually didn't do anything. Other than buy the food, I didn't offer to make it, I didn't decorate, and basically hung with the kids. There was no stress that people would scoff at the menu or get testy about the way things were being done. It was awesome! I did go in the kitchen, though, and help out when I saw that Angel was getting a little overwhelmed.
For New Years, the kids made it to midnight and we toasted with sparkling apple cider. Emma lost another tooth a couple of weeks ago, so there's a big space on the bottom. The tooth fairy only brought a $1 this time, but she was okay with that since we told her ahead of time.
Aidan is going to be three in April, and we are getting into our more independent, defiant stage. I found out that I have a hormone imbalance, so it makes him not listening a little more intense and annoying. I don't have as much patience as I used to due to that fact, so I go from calm to mad in no time flat. Hopefully I get balanced soon because I am annoying myself! LOL!
Nothing else exciting except some baby news...no not me. Micah had a little baby boy, Luke Patrick, on Jan 25, 2008 at 5:31am, weighing 6 lbs 4 oz, and 19 1/2" long. Congratulations guys!
Our next baby news and milestone is from Jilly!!! She turned 30 on January 31st. THIRTY! Can you believe it? I can't. Only because I don't feel it (on most days) and I am right behind her! Time really flies! And to boot, she's pregnant! Woohoo! I am having the hardest time not picking up something every time I go to Target or Old Navy because everything is soooo cute! 21 weeks cannot come soon enough. My first feeling is that it's a boy, but we'll have to see :-) Relax and enjoy your pregnancy, sweetie, because the second one goes by so fast.
So that's all for now! Talk to you all soon!
Love,
Maria
