Merry Christmas...and belated Thanksgiving and Halloween





We have our Christmas tree up, there is snow outside...it is starting to feel like Christmas! I would love to cuddle up with a good book or movie and drink some hot chocolate, but Jack doesn't do well with dairy, so no hot chocolate for me. And when I get a chance to rest from the day, I run straight to bed, so no movies or books either. I will save that for another year. This year I am very grateful for my busy days and by wonderful little boys. Luke is growing up and saying new words everyday: today he learned "poop" (by accident). He had a great time at the tree lot, he wasn't very interested in the trees but there were a lot of different blow up Christmas displays that he thought were cool and he loved the reindeer!

All I can say about Jack is that he is wonderful and perfect...that pretty much sums it up. He is two months and already over 15 pounds! He is a good eater and a good sleeper: he slept seven hours straight two nights last week. I am hoping this becomes a regular thing.

He was a purple people eater for Halloween, but he slept right through the trick or treating, so he didn't get any candy.




Sorry that it has been a while since the last update, but my boys keep me very busy. Just this week, Luke has perfected climbing out of his crib. And as fun as it is to wake up to his cute, smiling face next to our bed in the morning, it is torture to get him to go to sleep. It looks like he will get an early Christmas present of a toddler bed.

Below are some pictures of a farm we visited to pick up a pumpkin for Halloween (we never got around to carving it though).





Luke was a bat for Halloween and went to Microsoft to trick-or-treat around the offices. He kept trying to put his candy into the Microsoft employee's baskets, he didn't realize that he was supposed to take the candy from them-what a sweet kid.




Since the weather has turned cold, Luke has taken up a new hobby to replace going to the park: cooking! Almost every day Luke will pull a chair from the dining table to the kitchen and pull out a pan from under the oven: signaling that he is ready to create a masterpience. He has perfected pumpkin bread, muffins, and peanut butter cookies, but his favorite thing to do is eat the chocolate chips while I do the rest of the work.

How cute! It's about time you posted something...but I guess two kids will do that to you. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas. I'll miss seeing you this year!

Good to see some updates! Your kids are so cute...Luke is getting so big! And lucky you to be getting seven hours of sleep in a stretch. Bailey is 10 months old and seven hours happen on a good night. Merry Christmas, and Happy Birthday!
