HI Everyone,
Things here are well. We were thinking of mom and dad yesterday celebrating their 35th anniversary. Congratulations.
It's been a fun week of holiday festivities. It's hard to believe that Christmas Eve is next Sunday. We went to the mall to see Santa. Ashley is slightly disillusioned about Santas at malls and such. She knows they are all different so doesn't really think she should tell them what she wants since she's not sure it'll get back to the real one. She is still asking for the baby alive doll, so with some coaxing and financial help with mom (THANK YOU) we bought one for her. She will be really excited. She tells me that this doll is only good for her, not Katelyn, since you have to treat it like a real baby. Christmas morning will be complete with that:) We are prepared and done with shopping. It'll be a small Christmas, but as the girls are happy playing with aluminum foil and some foam Hans brought home from work, we know they will appreciate what we do give them.
Hans had a fun birthday party, although he keeps telling me it wasn't a birthday party, with 16 of his friends here playing x-box. We were both feeling the sleep deprivation since he played late and I couldn't sleep with all of them yelling down there. They had a good time. I'm grateful he has friends and even more grateful he plays video games in moderation. Thanks to those of you who gave Hans a phone call.
I finally found a running friend. She wants to run every Saturday so that's nice and she lives about a 5 minute run from my house. It's very convenient. It has been wonderful to run outside again. We've only gone twice so I'm hoping she actually wants to continue going.
These next two weeks are a nice break from ballet, preschool, and other scheduled stuff. The girls are excited to spend time here. We've baked treats for neighbors and have had a few chances to talk about Church with them. It's nice to be able to do that.
What else? Justin is great. He can stand alone, unsupported for a really long time now. He's great with balancing. He falls hard though. He was standing in the middle of the tub, just standing there, and then fell right onto a purple plastic cup. He has a nice round purple bruise on his bum. Poor guy.
Attached are some pictures of him eating food. He still hates it. I actually got this baby yogurt stuff into his mouth, but he spit most of it out. Usually he doesn't let me get anything into his mouth. We are improving.
We are well and thinking of all of you!
Love, Michelle
