Frosty

The week of Christmas we had a beautiful frost! It lasted about half the day.

Little Guy is TWO!

My baby is two years old today!

Jack, you are such a sweet, lovable, happy, sometimes hot-tempered, little boy. I love you lots and lots!

What Jack is like at two:

• Talking lots and lots! He can get his point across almost clearly now. He speaks in small sentences often.
  
• He loves Buzz Lightyear and Cars.
  
• If we let him, he'd live on milk alone.
• He loves to play with his sister.
• He knows how to fight back with sister too!
• He enjoys going to school now - it was a rocky start.
  
• For the most part, he is a good sleeper. He is also our alarm clock. He almost always gets up around 6:30am.
• He loves to cuddle.
• If he could be outside all year round, he would. I wonder if he might be outdoorsy.
  
• He gives me a hug and a kiss before I go to work. He doesn't let me forget.
  
• He loves to play with his toy bus, the train set and the Leap Frog fridge letter game.
  
• He loves music. He can muddle his way through the ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle little star and a few other kiddie songs.
  

Love you always Jack!!!

North Carolina Pics

So, I'm behind in my blogging. I must say, Facebook has taken away some of my blogging inspiration. However, I have some pictures from my North Carolina Trip and I'll post those here as well. I feel quite fortunate to have seen the beach twice in two years!


The beach is literally across the street from Bonnie and Mark

This was as close as I got to touching my nephew, Grant *sniff sniff*

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving this year. David made lasagna and a pork roast. I made mashed sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and two pies: pumpkin and key lime. David's Dad came over and had dinner with us. My friend, Christine stopped by that night and hung out with us as well. It was a good day!
