A comfy seat

Andrew got a bean bag for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa.

I think he has taken quite well to it!

Christmas time is here

Merry Christmas Everyone!

December has been a busy month for us. I'm not sure what kept us busier: trying to get the shopping, baking, wrapping and all the other Christmas hoopla done or chasing after Andrew as he really experienced Christmas for the first time. Click on the link for a peek at the activity around our house leading up to Christmas. http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewalbum.html?alb=136997

Don't forget to check back in a couple of days for Christmas pics!!!

Breakfast with Andrew

Yesterday during breakfast Andrew took some time to read the ads with mom.

Look, there's Ho Ho (Santa)!

Catch Up: part 2

Playing Catch Up

With all of our travels over the past month we have collected lots of pictures but had no time to share them. Today's catch up theme: Thanksgiving. Hopefully Andrew will take a good nap again tomorrow so that I can get more done. ENJOY!!!

Make a scrapbook!

Putting up the tree

Andrew and I decided to kill some time this afternoon since we are still stuck inside and put up the Christmas. I wasn't sure how it would go but thought it was worth a shot. I was pleasantly surprised and oh so proud of Andrew as he quietly sat next to me playing with his toys and drinking his milk. Every now and then he would stop to see what I was doing or give me a quick "hi". When I was done I said "Look at the tree Andrew". He queitly came over to see it, and added the first decoration to it--His cup. He then stepped back, looked at it, shook his head no while laughing, then grabbed his cup and went and put it in the sink. It was the sweetest and funniest little moment. It's neat to see him developing a sense of humor.

When he woke up from nap the lights were up on the tree, but we had to wait for daddy to come home before we could turn them on. Andrew's face lit up more than the tree did when we turned it on. He just kept saying WOW!!

He has done quite well with the tree (so far). Tomorrow's adventure~~adding ornaments!!!

When it rains it...Ices?

What a welcome home we have had over the past few days. This morning we woke up to ice blanketing our trees and powerlines and the glow of transformers popping around the neighborhood.

As the sun came up we realized that our crabapple tree out back had snapped and was lying on the powerline. YIKES!

Fortunately KCP&L showed up, chopped the tree branch and saved the day!

A style all his own!

We are peeking in to show off Andrew's latest fashion statement!

He got new slippers at the store today to keep his toes warm during the artic blast that is covering Kansas City!! But he thinks they are better as dancing shoes!!

There's no place like home?

Everyone remembers Dorothy saying there is no place like home and longing to return to Kansas right? Well, Marc and I think she is crazy!!!

This is what we returned home to on Friday night...

...and here we are 48 hours earlier. Where would you'd rather be?
