Happy New Year! :-)

I can hardly believe that Christmas is already over and we're already speeding towards New Year's! The year went by so fast! We've had quite a few milestones, both in our own little branch of the family and in other branches of the family as well. :-) Joe is doing really well with his potty training, and Mommy has high hopes that we'll be done soon. :-) We added a new cousin to the family back in September and gained a new 2nd cousin for Joe in the process. Now there's two Joes in the family. LOL! They seem to really have fun together too. :-) Let's see... Joe's twin cousins, Ellie & Abbie, turned 4 in October and are getting so big! All of the kids in the family are growing up so fast that all of the adults' heads are spinning!

Anyway, I think that pretty much sums up our year. :-) 2010 was a pretty good year all in all I'd say. We're looking forward to seeing what surprises 2011 has in store.



Happy New Year 2011!! :-)

I can't believe that its almost Christmas time already! :-) The year totally flew by. It's been a good year though, more or less. Now we just have to hope that we make it through the Christmas shopping season intact. LOL! Not much to really update about though... just trying to get the house nice & decorated for Christmas. Joe loves to help with that. :-) Let's just hope his Dad & I can survive the "helpfulness". LOL! :-)

Where has the year gone? :-)

I can't believe that I forgot about this blog for most of the year! Bad! But before I give myself a time out in punishment (or is it a reward...LOL), I probably should update. :-) Let's see, Joe turned 3 in may and just this past Friday, turned 3 1/2. It's hard to believe that he'll be 4 in just 6 months. Halloween has come & gone, and it definitely was an exercise in patience for both Chris & I. Joe had a blast though! :-) He went as an "energy vampire" (pretty appropriate huh?). He totally got tons of loot though... which is gone already if you can believe that. Of course I kind of helped too... *insert guilty look here*, what can I say? It's kind of hard to resist all of that yummy candy and ok, I probably never totally grew up. LOL! Now it's almost time for Thanksgiving and we're already really looking forward to it. :-)

It's finally Spring!

Spring is finally here!! Joe is really having a ball outside and it can be hard to get him back inside at the end of the day, but then again, I can't really blame him. It's so beautiful outside and it feels nice to be able to go out without the big, heavy coats! :-) We're also really looking forward to Easter this coming weekend. I think Joe is deffinately going to be scoring big in the Easter basket department. LOL! :-) Happy Easter everyone!

Almost Spring time!

We're getting so tired of winter already! Yes, it looks nice when you're all warm & snugly indoors, but it's really hard when you're a 2 1/2 year old who is just so ready to get outdoors & play without worrying about slipping on the ice that seems to be covering everything. :-) Joe's been a good sport about it so far though & has been on quite the Pooh Bear kick lately. He especially likes his copy of Pooh's Heffalump Movie. He wants to watch it as often as he can, which usually is at least 3 times a day or as many times as he can before nap time. We're deffinately looking forward to warmer weather though so we can go outside and do lots more exploring and maybe even take a few trips to the park to meet friends. :-)
