Healthy family!

Okay, I've probably just jinxed us with that title but as of today, we are all healthy. Will recovered from pneumonia and is doing great! We put up our Christmas tree this weekend and he is really interested in it. He loves to move the ornaments around or list everything that's on the tree (woof woof, meow, ball, football!, ball, ball, ball, ball - you get the picture). His vocabulary is really starting to grow and every once in a while he throws out a new word and it takes us a few minutes to figure out what he's saying. He told me "gragow!" for about 15 minutes before I finally realized that he was asking for a cracker. I'm a little slow on the uptake. I don't have any pictures of the tree yet, but here's my #1 helper assisting with the tree stand. He's also mastered the word "NO" and uses it freely for a variety of situations. Toddlers = fun.

Finally, I took a picture of the new house. We are all moved in and starting to make the place our own. Still waiting on furniture for the living room. Right now it's a big empty space that's great for toddlers to throw balls, ride bikes and race back and forth. I'm also hesistant to get any furniture for it but he'll survive. We had a nice snow last week so everything looks all clean.

In Feb. baby news, we had another ultrasound last week and saw that we are definitely having a girl - no doubt about it this time. It's exciting and I've had to really restrain myself from buying lots and lots of cute little onesies and holiday dresses (for next year). If I'm not careful, I will singlehandedly be responsible for turning our economy around, at least on the retail level.

Back next time with more holiday pictures and hopefully a shot of Santa and Will. Wish us luck!

Is your new house in Western Hills? Hawthorne St? It looks a little like one we looked at.

I was going to ask what street as well. It looks exactly like a house I grew up next too.

Girls are so fun to shop for. I have single handedly kept about 6 stores open in Park Meadows.
