A Few Changes.....

Thought it might be time to blog a few changes that have happened around our house....

Our lovely little lady decided it was time for a new "do"-just the bangs...she is convinced that her hair grows at least an inch every day, and by cutting it would officially stop the growth process forever. Tooth # 9 just made its way under the pillow (poor girl has a mouth full of holes) :)....but loves it. She is almost finished with the second grade, and is ready for high school....

After some intense wiggling and tugging.... Chan lost his first tooth, and is thrilled to be able to shoot water out of it, and talk with a lisp :). He has grown 2 inches the past month, and appears way too big for a kindergartener. He loves reading and sounding out letters...everywhere, and truly believes he is smarter than his sister.

Finally, we traded our baby in for this cute little boy....we love his 33 different faces, a giggle that screams tickle me more, and the opportunity to watch him develop his own personality. He has decided to mimic everything he sees (half the time it is an animal of choice). He is hysterical to have a conversation with, and is too much fun....

Disneyland

Thanks to our free flights from Southwest, our great friends lending us their car, and some more sweet friends for borrowing us their home to stay in, Dave's lifelong goal of meeting Mickey has come true....We had an a-w-e-s-o-m-e great time (as the kids have said)...a MUCH needed vacation. Thank you Ericson family for the fun trip, when are we going again?? :)

Another year gone...

I have decided that after 30, your b-day is just another number...that keeps increasing :). My parents planned my birthday perfectly for Dave. This is the 3rd year in the 10 1/2 that we have been married that the Steelers have gone to the super bowl, and it has fallen on my b-day weekend. Why celebrate one day when you can for three? Lunch with friends, my kids getting along for a few hours, New York City to see WICKED, AHHH (I am still so excited thinking about it), and a fun super bowl party, which ended with Dave mumbling to himself for about an hour, and shedding a few tears on that terrible towel of his, good news, he but will be okay in a few days....and last but not least, my fav annual cake that sticks good to everywhere you don't want it too :). Thank you to everyone who made this year so special!!
