Colin 6 Month's

Colin turned 6 month's old in January.  He is such a fun and happy little kid...smiling all the time!  He learned to roll over both directions at Christmas time and is now eating baby food.  Aside from a few minor issues with his sleeping and eating habits, he is a GOOD baby.  Most importantly, he is HEALTHY and such a blessing to our family.  Here are his 6 month stats...
Height:  26.5 inches.....48%
Weight:  16 pounds 1 ounce.....20%
Head Size:  17 inches.....30%

I'm back!!

I'm back...from my long (and not intentional) blogging break, and from my relaxing week in Hawaii!!  My Hawaii post will come later, but for now I wanted to fill in the gaps since Christmas.

We had a wonderful holiday season and end of 2009!!  We spent a lot of time together as a family...hanging out at home as well as other various activities.  The kids enjoyed Christmas and all the gifts they received.  We had a lot of fun dancing with Rabid Rabbits on the wii, playing with new toys, eating good food, and spending time with family and friends.  Here are a few picture highlights...

The girls both got new (and much needed) snow clothes for Christmas...which they were so excited to try out after a big snow storm!  No matter what I told her, Lindsie just could NOT stop eating the snow. Yuck!

New Year's Eve we took the girls to see the new Disney princess movie.  This was Lindsie's first trip to the movie theatre, and she did very well.  She did watch most of the show, but got a little distracted once all the food and snacks ran out! :)  Thanks to Nana and Papa for watching Colin and then meeting us for dinner.  We ended the night early...no ringing in the new year for us...Guess we were exhausted from all the fun?

Chris was able to spend 3 whole weeks in town over the holidays, and I loved every minute of it! It was so nice to have him around to help at dinner time, in the evenings with the kids, and more!! He is a great dad, and we love having him at home! BUT, I also know that travel is part of his job and how he provides for us. His company was sold to Galaxo Smith Kline last year and now in 2010 it's almost like he has a new job. He had a very LONG travel week to the new headquarters in North Carolina and has had a TON of new training for procedures, products, etc. It has been a very busy year for for him already and we don't see it slowing down any time soon. :(  Which I guess is both good and bad?  Atleast he has a job, right?

I feel so blessed to have a great husband, friend and companion.  He loves me even with all my craziness and quirks!  He knows me so well, (the clean freak I am) and he surprised me with a new washer and dryer for Christmas.  Some may frown at a "mom gift" like that, but I was in HEAVEN!  I have been washing EVERYTHING! :)  Thanks honey...you are the BEST and I LOVE YOU!!

We had a wonderful 2009 and have some many great memories and big events that took place this year to look back on.  2010 has been eventful so far...I hope for more fun, family time, good health and prosperity for the remainder of the year!  I AM BLESSED!
