Long Time, No Post- I know!

My excuse? We only had our laptop while we were in our temporary house and it was hard to upload pics off of it. For a while after moving things were just too crazy and honestly, I have forgotten to take pics at all!

Now I am realizing that the Christmas season is here and I need to get the Christmas cards done! Trying to get pics, professional or otherwise, of a 1 and a half year old and a 3 and a half year old is just not easy! We did manage to get, with a camera timer no less, a decent one with Jason's family on Thanksgiving. Oh, and what does Braden remember from our yummy thanksgiving lunch? That he got to eat ramen noodles for dinner that evening.

There Are No Words...

I happened to catch the girl "accessorizing." Oh, what a diva! Love the new way to wear the shades!

A Girl and Her Pearls

She may not be able to wear big bows yet, but she can put on the jewelry! Allison LOVES to wear bracelets and necklaces- as many as she can find- the girl can never have too many! Usually she puts them all on one arm, so bracelets can easily go from her wrist to her elbow- she is all about the accessories!

She is showing that she can be very diverse in her interests. If Braden is playing cars or trucks or tools, she wants to be right in the middle, which causes screaming, fighting and usually tears. If he is not around, she is happy playing with jewelry or dolls. Seriously, girl!

Also, notice Allison is now walking! Took a while, but she is finally getting the hang of it, and now prefers to walk over crawl. About time, kiddo! Everyone says I will be sorry, but I don't think so- I am tired of watching her get caught crawling in dresses!

Sorry for the red eye- working off Jason's old laptop (for only about 6 more weeks!), but I don't know how to edit on this computer.

Preschool Take 1

Okay, really it is Mother's Day Out for right now, but Braden doesn't know the difference! Braden started today and was so excited! He had trouble falling asleep and then he got up earlier than normal. He was ready! He will be going here for a couple of months, and then when we move, he will go to a new Preschool that has a spot already reserved for him.

I dropped him off just over an hour ago and I already miss him! Funny how kids can totally drive you crazy, but the minute you are away from them, you miss them!

New House

I have had lots of people ask how the house is coming along, so here are a couple of pics so you can see. Coming right along, but still a ways to go. We are super ready for it to be done so we can move in and actually get settled!

Wordless Wednesday

Don't try this at Home!

Speaking from personal experience:
It is not a good idea to drop a full glass jar of orange baby food (mixed vegetables) on a tile floor.
