Ok, so I haven't been too great about updating this blog. BUT, in my feeble defense, our computer screen is broken and it's very difficult to see the pictures. No longer an excuse, I am BACK and this is one of my new year's resolutions for 2009...
Halloween was a blast this year. Will loved trick or treating and when he was the last 2 year-old out around 9 p.m., I thought it was best that I take him home. His favorite part was ringing the doorbell and he proceeded to do it multiple times. He ended up being a fireman (his raincoat and rain boots) after his monkey costume was not so appealing and a little scary. After seeing last year's Halloween pictures (he was a monkey), he assumed he forever was a monkey. But I think he "gets" it now, that he can pick something new each year! :) His little "sissy" was a precious chick.
Thanksgiving was great this year. We went to Beaver Creek with Michael's family and had a great time. The kids did great and completely exceeded my expectations. We had never flown with them so we were a little wary of how to control them on a flight out West. Once out there, it snowed for 3 straight days. The place looked like a winter wonderland. Will finally "knows" what snow is after learning about it in school. We had a great time sledding, building snowmen, and having snowball fights. Our Thanksgiving dinner was delicious too, thanks to Jorge putting the oven on the "convection" setting. What fun memories! Will is ready to ski so hopefully we will hit the slopes next time!
Here are some pictures from fall festivals, birthday parties, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. Enjoy and sorry for keeping you on bated breath for so long... :)
Summer has been great so far! I don't want it to end... The beach was wonderful. Being in the water everyday for a month created a little fish out of Will. Straight from the beach, we went to Greystone for 2 weeks. Michael taught tennis and I kept the kiddos alive...no small feat! :) Will and Lane did great. We lived in a one-room cabin and surprisingly, it wasn't bad keeping the kids sleeping and napping together. I guess they were so tired by nonstop activities--fishing, swim lessons, painting class, gymnastics, golf and golf carts, water park... Lane, who might just be the happiest baby who ever lived (during the day anyway!), tagged along, always smiling, and watched her brother in action. We had a great time...we love that place and wish we could stay all summer! Here are some pictures....
Our month at the beach has gotten off to a great start. Will loves it here and might not be a townie after all. Sandcastles, cheetoes, ice pops, hoses, big boy bed, Lightning McQueen, ladder car, waves, crabs, boogie board, just to name a few of the highlights... :) Lane is having a big time too, however, my hypothesis that salty air would make her sleep better has been proven false. We've seen several friends too...Mary Chapel, Addison, Jax, and our church buds... Anyone is welcome to come for a visit...we do the same thing every day (beach, eat, nap...beach, eat, sleep) but surprisingly, it's not boring! Hope everyone is having a great start to their summer!
We had a great Memorial Day weekend! On Sunday, Michael participated in the Intersect Project with church. They made the news (http://accessproduction.org/videos/intersect.swf)! The moms hit the park and ate picnics and played. On Monday, we went out in the boat with Michael's parents and David, Stacy and Baby Jax. Will went tubing with us and waterskiing in Tati's arms. Watch out Cypress Gardens! He was driving the boat on the way home and fell asleep at the wheel. Check out Michael. He's still got it, even at 30! Enjoy the photos...
