Big day
So....today is a big day! Miss Elise sleeps in her "big girl" bed! She's been talking about it for awhile, and we finally did it! It took a bit to get her to bed, but she's asleep ;-) Hoping for a good night (fingers crossed!) XOXO

Sunshine Day
Brian and I always laugh that with little kids, you can tell what kind of a day you're all going to have within the first five minutes of the wee ones waking up. Somedays, the fuss overtakes you immediately - other days, the sass is remenicint of when you yourself were a teenager (and then you secretly feel sorry for your own parents for this type of treatment you dished out).
But other days, days like today - you all wake up - and each one of you in the household just feels in synch with the other. There are smiles all around, the coffee is just right, everyone says "please" and "thank You" without being reminded, you can just tell it's going to be a good day!
I got to wake up this morning to the sound of Elise laughing with Brian - which is one of my favorite sounds! As I turned over towards Brian's side of the bed, it was Owen who was sleeping next to me. That is always a pleasant surprise, Owen sleeping - because most of the time when he joins us in our bed, he kicks and takes over! How someone 42 inches tall (or thereabouts) can take over a king sized bed I do not know, but it happens!
Now, we're planning on going to a farm to find apples because Owen is begging me to make him applesauce with cinnamon....sounds like a good day to me! During all of this, Elise is just smiling at her brother and following me around, laughing and making new noises that she hopes I'll repeat to her! "Peep"
Off to the farm!

Where has the time gone?
Well - there is too much to report for the months I've missed - so we'll just be starting from now - hope that works for you all!
My husband (among other members of our family(Karen!)) have been pretty vocal about how they miss this - so with the arrival of my new toy (June 19th) I figured I'd better get started again with the updates and photos!
Currently I'm tending to my little sickie, Owen - and watching Elise practice in her squeak squeak shoes - amazing how smart she is at 13 months! I showed her once how to stomp her little feet to make the shoes work - she's been having fun ever since!
Be back soon with more!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But as usual, this fire is soooooo delightful! (Thanks Hot Brian - you really have lived up to your name!!!)
What a day - I think I woke up about 4 times last night like a 16 year old praying there was no school tomorrow - disappointed each time to see bare pavement and dark skies! When I woke up (the final time since I was up a couple of times with cutie) I knew we were in for some fun when it was super bright behind the blinds in our room!!! Love this! Snow storms are very special to Brian and I, in case you didn't know....so anytime the local news goes in to overdrive "storm watch" I feel like I'm 26 again!
Our day of course included sledding - walking - hot soup - laughing - visiting neighbors - playing with neighbor kids - lots and lots of pictures - snow angels - cold fingers - happy dogs - and a warm fire....just to name a few! =) But the best part is now - kiddos asleep - dogs chewing LOUDLY - and Brian and I, sitting - watching the best Christmas moving ever - Love Actually. I could blog forever about this movie, how beautiful it is - but that would take all night!
It looks like we get an additional day all together tomorrow! Yippee, we all love when Daddy is home! It seems that the week ahead, when we are of course supposed to be Christmas shopping, should be interesting as well weather wise!
Can't wait to share stories and pictures...and pretty soon, cookies and fudge and muffins and laughs and movies!!!
Remember, Love Actually is All Around

The beautiful moments in life
This time of year - it's nice to reflect on happy thoughts, fun times and smiles that stick with you. The weather has certainly been favorable (albeit a few days) to daydream out the windows - take a drive, a walk, a run and just enjoy the scenery, the birds and the squirrels in the park.
It's been nice to open the mailbox every day and be greeted with holiday cards from friends and family - to get the random knock on the door from neighbors who are just stopping by to say hello (note to self, try and keep house cleaner) - get invites to Christmas gatherings and to spend lots of time in front of the fireplace with loved ones and just each other. It's all even better, with a Santa hat and a smile!
17 days and counting....we're off to mail a letter to the North Pole!
