Happy Holed-up Holidays

This holiday season has been very fun and quiet and white! With all the snow we have been at home a bit more than usual (understatement!) and I have been close to melt down a few times I admit, but the kids are great and have played really well together. We've pulled out game after game and enjoyed just playing together. So fun! Christmas was calm and relaxing, gasp!, and getting together was great with everyone. Andrew was great and patient with me when I would call him 5-6 times at the store to make sure he brought home everything on the list, and somethings not. I am still not able to get my van out of the driveway, but it is raining...yeah! Hopefully that with melt most of the snow so I can get out without slidding all over the place. Saturday we went with family to Canada to Watermania. The kids played for hours in the wave pool and some went off the diving boards, even the highest one! It was very fun. Sylvia is very active, kicking all the time. I have 11 weeks left in this pregnancy. I have been getting the twins comments, but oh well, what can you do... I still have stretch marks that aren't filled in yet so I know I am not at the end yet, and my belly button is not quite gone. Sorry, TMI, I know. I am starting to think more about what needs to get done before she gets here and feeling a bit panicky. :) We all know it goes fast, before you even know its gone!


Today is Charlie's birthday! He is now 3 years old! Every time he is asked how old he is now, he says, "ten!" Not quite, buster! He's been having a great time. He is such a happy boy and so cute and cuddley and friendly and helpful and kind. He is very patient with his older brothers who want to tryout all his cool new stuff. Right..... :) He is actually pretty good about it. You know they are still little when they want macaroni and cheese for their dinner, too. Love that kid! He is my sunshine and blue skies kid. :)
