November


Guess i have a little catching up to do...just realized i hadn't posted to the blog in a few weeks. Well, we have been pretty busy these last few weeks getting ready for the Christmas season already. Seems like it gets earlier every year, but that's alright. When the snow falls a few times and they start playing Christmas music and serving the Christmas drinks at Starbucks you start getting excited for Christmas. Just the same, it is still a ways off so we're trying not to jump the gun too early.

Blake is keeping us busy and is good entertainment. He likes to run and tackle us if we're sitting on the floor now, so that's fun. Only problem is he thinks it is fun to charge at you head first and his head is harder than ours. He is also dancing, climbing and running everywhere. It's fun but keeps you moving :) He'd really like to be able to do some talking because he wants to say something sometimes, but just can't get it out. We did some sign language with him, but he really just doesn't like to do it. Every once in a while he'll do something, but most of the time he just points and shrieks....unless there are doughnuts involved...then he's very willing to use sign language. So, either more doughnuts or forget the sign language...well that's kind of a no-brainer....doughnuts of course :) j/k

We just got the second storm of the season this weekend...about a foot. I think it is going to be pretty snowy this year. Two storms that have been pretty substantial in November...not normal. We may just be making up for the lack of snow last year...i think we had one substantial storm (more than a foot) last year. Guess we'll see.
We're getting pretty excited for baby #2 coming in the spring. Still a ways off at this point, so not much other than a thought right now, but excting nonetheless. Seems to be in the water again right now b/c a lot of our friends are having kids too.
