Wow - It's Been Awhile - Tis' the Season






Well, it's been awhile since I have posted. Things are busy, busy at work, and there just never seems to be enough time in the day to get all the things done that I want to! All of us our in good health. Eric, is doing well at his home business (not that I ever doubted he would). I am looking forward to two weeks off from work.

Lately, we have made Christmas cookies (yes, I said Christmas, not Holiday), decorated the house for Christmas and went on a sleigh ride with some families that live on our street.

Our holiday plans are to stay home and celebrate. I do miss being around family doing the holidays, and hope maybe other people will come to visit in addition to Grandma.

Aiden is a smart as a whip. His latest obsession is on body parts, particularly on his not so appropriate to talk about parts. He is obsessed with rhyming too. He will go around the house saying, "____ rhymes with _____." It's really cute.

Elly is so beautiful, and very smart. She can feed herself now with a utensil, and knows the words: mommy, daddy, dog, book and Aiden! She gets around really well for such a teeny thing. She needs to be tough in order to keep up with big brother.

What are we getting for Christmas? Toys for the kids of course. They are both at the age where they like pretty much anything. I asked for a few odds and ends and picked up a few things for Eric. The big thing we are getting is a patio cover and extra concrete to have a "porch" in the backyard. The sun is so bright here, even in the winter that it blinds you if you try to sit in the backyard. Right now,we are in the process of getting bids, but hope to have a decision made next week.

Christmas Lights! You wouldn't believe the light displays that people put up here. If you drive around any neighborhood, at least half of the houses have lights galore! I guess it speaks to the money people have here; or at least think they have. ;)


Well, that's all for now. I hope to post again soon.
