an update for my Mom

cutest school pictures ever? I think so

I keep telling my Mom things that are happening when we talk on the phone and she says "how come you don't have that up on the blog?" And I say, "cause I'm too darn busy to blog!" and she says "do it anyway! for posterity!" Just kidding, she doesn't say that. But, a lot has been happening around here so let's catch up, shall we?

First and foremost, David is walking. Everywhere. And doing this cute thing where he takes something he's not supposed to take and then giggles and tries to run away but then he's all wobbly and ends up falling over. It kills me. I've taken multiple videos of said walking but for some reason I can't upload them. Boo.

But, he is sleeping better at night which is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. And I do have a picture of that:

And he and Audrey are really starting to play well together and I'm loving it.

Another something very important but that I don't have a picture of: Justin is double-majoring. It's a lot of work but he's dedicated and studying hard. Double-majoring means that when he graduates in 2013 he will have not one, but two bachelors degrees. One in secondary education with a minor in political science, and one in history. Three degrees total. That is exactly two more degrees than I have. I'm not jealous. Really, I'm not. I'm not.

I have had a great big spot of what I thought was leprosy but turned out to be a cold sore on my lip for at least two weeks now and therefore have not left the house at all without wearing a paper bag over my head.

And while taking the picture above I noticed that my nails matched my outfit so I took a picture of that just because.

Audrey got a new bed (finally!) which meant a whole new room make-over.

We put up our Christmas tree on Sunday

And...

Last night I cut David's hair for the first time ever. I've been putting it off because I love his little baby hair and everyone has told me that it will make him look older. But last night we finally decided to do it.

Before:

After:

Yes, I cried.

I cut it from the back while he was eating a sucker and watching 'Bubble Guppies' (his favorite show ever) and I didn't want to look at him from the front because I could see already it was changing his little face.

But it's cute. I'm trying to get used to it.
