It's Been a While

Happy New Year!

So, It's been a while. Where do I begin?

It has been a busy few weeks. Heath was off for two weeks. It was so wonderful to have him home with us. On the 19th we celebrated our 5th Anniversary. I can hardly believe I'm 26, I've been married for 5 years, and we have two kids! Boy, how time goes by so fast. He has added so much to my life, I can't imagine my life without him!
You all know Nate arrived on the 19th also. He is darling. Chad and Alison, you did a great job. And I must say he wins the prize for the best Laughlin baby hair so far! My kids just love Baby Nate. It was neat to see Jack with a real baby. He was captivated with him.

We had a great Christmas. Mia was very into it this year. She was addicted to Elf, Hermies's Fruitcake Christmas, and The Polar Express. For some reason, she loved going to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. (Yes, she believes in Santa.) She would just sit there and smile while he asked her what she wanted and told her not to forget to set out cookies for him Christmas Eve. The very last time she saw him, she figured out that she could ask for a present. She asked for "Tinker Bell Movie." It was all so cute. You should have seen her face when she pulled the movie out of her stocking. She definitely brings so much joy to her Daddy and Me!Jack didn't get too involved in opening gifts.

Two days later, my baby boy turned the Big 1! I have to say I was a little sad all day that my son was getting so big. He is just precious. He stands very very well on his own and has taken a step on his own a time or two, but he has not yet started walking around by himself yet. He started saying MAMA! Yeah! He is just wonderful. He has a great personality that is developing. And I can definitely tell he already has a great big heart.

And, now, all the festivities have come to an end, I have managed to burn yet another plastic item in the oven, and Heath is back at school. It was fun while it lasted!
