Sorry...

I have been neglecting my blog. I apologize!

I realized today that I check many blogs almost daily but haven't updated my own in way too long... here is the recap of the past few months:

I started my new job in October and love it! I miss having Tuesday afternoons free to spend with the kids, go to appointments and get the oil changed, but I needed a change of pace!

O was sick pretty much from October 1st through December 26th- the day he got tubes. He is a new boy! He still isn't talking- he does say mama and tries Dada every once and awhile, but that's about it. He is stubborn and sweet and getting cuter by the day:) Now if he could just tell us what he wants....
Some of his favorite things:
His Elmo and Grover stuffed animals- he can't sleep without them!
His pacifiers- we are down to his crib only...
Food
Throwing food on the floor
Balls
Bouncing on my exercise ball
Trains
His Thomas the Tank Engine Book- it is missing both covers and isn't very exciting... we read it 10 times a day....
Playing with dad
Cuddling with mom
Bella- the sitters dog
Singing... with no words:)

M turned 4 on January 5th and was hard to live with for a few weeks! She has since become the lovable girl we missed. I had her parent/teacher conference at preschool the other day and was told that she has a great vocabulary (which I knew!), was the class greeter (she greets everyone with hugs, including the parent helpers and anyone else who comes into the classroom) and isn't a very good listener. In fact she suggested that we have her hearing checked. We are doing that Thursday, but I'm pretty sure she is just bored. I guess we shall see!
Her newest favorite things:
Barbie Mariposa- the movie came out last Tuesday and she earned it by sticking with me for a long that included a trip to work, O's 18 month check up, lunch with dad, preschool and pictures at Portrait Innovations. All without a nap. The movie came with butterfly wings for her- need I say more???

Art projects or science experiments:
We have dyed Easter Eggs, painted little "statues" very bright colors, added paint to water to see what happened, made collages, drew pictures, made cards and wrapping paper and more in the past few weeks.

Cooking with mom
Playing with O
Going to Preschool, Tumbling and Sunday School
Playing Dress Up
Barbies
Watching Mr Rogers: She and dad watch an episode every week night after dinner before bed time. I don't know who likes it more:)

That pretty much sums up our life!
I am going to try to be a better blogger! Please remind me if it has been awhile:)
