Catch Up Time!

Sorry it has been so long. I feel like things are slowing down a little, at least for a few days. We are looking forward to the holidays with family and friends.

Adam has actually been acting a little better. I know the terrible 2's aren't over, but I'm praying more for wisdom and praying for him.

Aaron has been getting into everything. I have chairs all set up around our plants so he doesn't double fist it again. :) He is now crawling up the stairs. I don't think it will be much longer until he's walking... so crazy!

I am still looking and praying for a stay-at-home job. I only have a few weeks left. I am nervous, but know it will work out. :)

I can't get enough of these lately. My boys love them also :)





We ended Amos' long birthday celebration with a night out in Des Moines with the Vinchattle's. We went to the steakhouse of his choice. It was fun.

We had the Greene Christmas the next day. It was a wonderful night. The boys got a fun train table that they both enjoy. We had it early because Nancy just went to Switzerland for a month to be there for Lydia and her family. She had a sweet baby girl this morning, Vera Elizabeth. Can't wait to meet her in May.





Amos turned 30 in the beginning of December. I had a good time showering Amos with 30 gifts 30 days before he turned 30. He enjoyed opening gifts every day, or should I say Adam really enjoyed it. Most of his gifts were partially open before he got to them.

His last gift to open was a night in a hotel all by ourselves. It was great! We even had a hot tub in our room. The only problem was the missing parts to my pump that were accidentally left at home. It was an uncomfortable night, but I survived. :)

I had to get a picture of Aaron's first night away from us. Growing up!

We had a great time in Colorado for Thanksgiving. The trip was long, but we survived. The Jizmejian's have a beautiful place to live. They are surrounded by mountains. Their cabin (home) is wonderful. I'm not sure how we all slept there, but we did. We were all happy we are pretty laid-back with all the chaos. It was pretty chaotic sometimes with three dogs, 6 kids 2 and under, and 7 adults. It was another memory-making week though. I am so happy we got to see where they live. Beautiful!
