In-N-Out

Friday night at the local In-N-Out. It was so yummy. Shopping spree at Bed Bath Beyond after. Fun times.

An After-Nap Photo Shoot

Cause they were just so cute together. Sitting, drinking milk, laughing, being silly together.....

While sitting with both kids on the lazy boy rocker they asked for milk. Pete says, "Here, I will hold Jamie for you while you go get it for us."After drinking some milk Pete had milk on his lips. Jamie wiped it off for him.Three pictures in a row where they were doing the same thing....

Silly together....
My little sweeties.

Saturday was our first day and night in our new home. The house is perfect. More than we ever thought we would have. The kids love it. We love it. And today it is actually starting to look like a home. Our stuff is finding it's place and we are finding our place along with it.

First I will talk about the weather. It's perfect. In the 70's and sunny every day. Today I couldn't find a cloud in the bright blue sky. Every day I eat breakfast at our kitchen table and look outside at our sparkling pool and the beautiful weather and say a little prayer of thanks. And I smile. Today we spent all morning outside. Pete roller skated in our backyard, then we walked to the playground, then walked up to the grocery store for a few things. Pete said, "Next time bring some sunglasses for me mom."

Our house is so pretty. We are very blessed. It's comfortable, big and like new. It has everything we need and could want. The kids love it. We are starting to meet some neighbors, meeting some friends after church this Saturday and desperately seeking a good babysitter so we can get out for a date. We get lost around town a lot. If we are not unpacking we are shopping for things we need for the house. We got beautiful new bedroom furniture the other day. I love it and stare at it like it's not real.

We went in the hot tub last night. Jamie kicked and laughed the whole time. Pete cried when we got out. It's something we will enjoy often I am sure.

Well, I have lot to do. So here are a few pictures of our first day and our first morning in our new house.

When we arrived from CA and looked around the house with the kids. They were so excited.Trying to set up beds.

Merry Christmas

Could there be anything better than seeing your daughter's face in the light of the Christmas tree early on Christmas morning?

Sunday, December 19, 2010

Went to a drive through Christmas lights thingy tonight. Kids loved it. Took a pic with Rudolph afterward and Pete got to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. A gun. And he told him he has been good. Which is true.
And to all a goodnight.

This Week

Playing with dad. Pete would run around the house while dad would hide in a doorway and hit a balloon at him when he ran by.Daddy's going away party at work yesterday. The kids and I went and cried a lot as his wonderful co-workers said such nice things about him and wished us well on our next adventure.
P.'s boss thanking P. for his contributions to their company. Picture of Pete clapping for his dad. While people would talk and tell funny stories Pete would laugh and laugh because everyone else was laughing which just made everyone else laugh even more. It was a great time for all.
Today at Meijer Gardens with our dear friend "Onnie".
Me and my boy in front of the Korea Christmas tree.
My sweet children.
Merry Christmas and blessings to all our loved ones near and far.
