Ok, I do lack the discipline to update this blog daily, let alone monthly! Lots of little things have happened since our last post. Christmas and both birthday parties went well. We had a great turn out for both! Lots of friends AND family made it out. We had a pinata at both of the parties. I think it is a great idea, especially for the little ones. Not many kids these days want to play pin the tail on the donkey. That and there is usually candy in it! Aunt Tanya did a fantastic job on the cakes for us! Kaylyn had the cover of the Twilight book as hers and Emma had a Bambi cake. I had ordered the figurines, but Tanya did all the rest! Yum Yum!Kaylyn has received positive news in regards to her echo on her heart! Everything looks great! We are just waiting to hear from the doctor to start her hormones. She is busy these days with Pathfinders, school work and her major science projects. Her next big thing is her trip to Florida with her dad. They go about every 2 years for 2 weeks. She has finally found something she enjoys reading. She is on the second go around for the Twilight series. It's one of those things, you want them to read, but just at the right times! I never thought that I would see the day when I would ask her to stop reading to do something else!
We have bought a "New to Us" car. The grey turbo gave up the ghost, so it is resting! The new wagon is great, but we both tend to use the SUV cause it has been a NASTY winter. It stays in the garage, so the idea of cleaning of the car in the cold snow storms is not appealing!
Emma is up to her normal antics! Her vocabulary is getting so big, that if it wasn't for her sense of humor she would be in BIG trouble! She thrives on reading things. She still loves her movies and computer time. She reads many books, as well as anything with words on it! You can't pretend what the words are cause she repeats them and has a good idea of what the letters should say! She is starting to take after her mother with repeating silly phrases from her movies! She picks the best times too! She has a good sense of timing! She woke the other day and I asked her how she slept. She said "Very well, I dreamed of noodles!" Hehehe! That is a line from the movie Kung-Fu Panda! hehehe! What a nut!
Scott is busy with his clients. It's that time of year for taxes as well, so many people take a look at their investments. So, he is starting to pick up again!
I have started my night shift of 10pm to 6am. It is ok, I am sleeping when the kids are (will be) at school and are at work while they are sleeping. This is the maximum way for us to have a "normal" family life. Oh yeah, I have Saturday and Sunday nights off! Other than Friday and Saturday nights I am very happy. I finally get weekends off!
Daddy and Emma playing in one of our many snow storms<--
Emma kissing Santa Clause, she's hoping this will seal the deal about the fish!
The girls after their bath on Christmas eve!
I took a little video on my camera of Emma's reaction to her fish she got from Santa. The deal was she gave Santa her "DeeDee's" (her soothers) and she would get fish. At one point I forget, or don't realize the camera is still running. It is not a normal thing for me to use, but it is entertaining! You hear us realize that there is one dead fish. All but the one black fish have died, but Emma just says "We will go to the store and buy a new one!" All but the big gold one she called Goldie. She did shed tears for him. He was her favorite! Remember this is after I woke everyone after work at 6 in the morning! Hehe!
Ok, TBA. I can't get the video to upload. I will try again soon!
