Where to Begin.

Seriously. Where do you begin when sooooo much has taken place in the last month?? I have lots that I could talk about. Quite a lot of pictures--although, not nearly the normal amount I have over a months span. I've been forgetful with that. Yes, it has been quite the busy month, but in a good way. A rough few weeks mixed in. Both boys were down with bad colds. Cash got 5 teeth in one week, an ear infection and 5 separate vaccines. Yuck. It was hard, but we're over it. My poor Mom dealt with the sick guys while Ross and I went to Florida. What a saint!! Our trip was great, minus the fiasco of our return home. All in all, I would have to say January was pretty darn good. But...here's to February being even better!!

Oh great... Just realized I put all the pictures in backwards. Sorry. You'll get the drift. I think.

What loves...


The Floridian Crew--can you tell I got some sun that day?!


Me and my P.Cole.


The boat behind the cute, buff guy--that's kind of small compared to what we saw. The homes and boats were gi-normous!


Big Daddy, Bryan and Ross.

Greg and Lynn rented a beautiful place in Del Ray Beach for the month of January. They were kind enough to share that place with several people. They also had an awesome boat that we took out on the intercostal. It was pretty cool. The whole trip was pretty cool. Except for missing our flight from Atlanta. Because we were in the bar. We are so lame. That's what vacation does to us.
Thanks for the Awesome trip, guys!!



Anyone who knows Dane, knows this is pretty normal. And that he lives in his underwear. The minute we enter the house, the clothes get taken off. He doesn't even always were pj's. The kid is nuts. Cute, but nuts.


Underwear, spidey gloves, a tent and each other. The best day ever!

OK. I don't have many pictures from Christmas. I know, there's something wrong with me. Anyways...Dane has become obsessed with Spiderman this year. Fine by me, I guess. He loved his new hat and gloves from Great Grandma Danielson. He loved everything and kept asking for more. I've been told that's really normal, but it was quite upsetting to me. How do you teach gratitude to a 3 year old??
Again, anyways...we had a wonderful Christmas. The boys had fun and were super spoiled--as were we. It came and went too fast. Next year, I'm making it last longer. Look out Ross!!


Christmas Day at Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Tammy's.
This is seriously the only picture I have that is usable. The others that were taken that day were video. What were we doing?


Cookies and milk set out for Santa!

Christmas Eve was celebrated at the Greenwald home. Another fabulous Christmas. Dane was very interested in anything Uncle Bryan. But Uncle Bryan loved that!!


Dane being Dane. Extra adorable in his tie!

Mixing in some random before Christmas pictures!



Cash insisted on wearing Dane's unders. And over his clothes. Maybe this means potty training will be a breeze!

Do you think my boys are special? This is how they like playing Elefun.

We celebrated Christmas with my extended family, the week before Christmas. It sure is fun when we all get together. Here is all of the kids. Wowza! Most of them were in their jammers and looking so cute! Dana and Ben hosted this year and we had a great time. I wish we could all get together more often. They have a blast with each other.

Cashie and Coopie! Just 5 weeks apart. So cute!!

Long Time Comin'

~I can't find my camera cord, so there won't be any pictures for this post (and I'm waaaaayyyy behind so you'll just have to bear with me until I find more time to blog--about Christmas and such--and my camera cord).

Well, we've been away for quite awhile. Sometimes you just don't know how much you miss something until it's been unavailable to you.
The move went well and we are settling into our new home. The boys had a hard first night, but then they were like old pros and love their new rooms. The house is beautiful and looks even more so as we find proper homes for all of our beloved things. We are taking our time doing that-which is extremely hard for me.
Tomorrow will be two weeks in the new house and we are honoring that fete by heading to Del Ray Beach, Florida to meet up with The Greenwald's (ie. Ross's parents). They gave us the trip for Christmas and it couldn't come at a better time. To say that the past month and 1/2 has been stressful is an understatement. So, my wonderful Mom offered to watch the boys and we are leaving knowing they will be well taken care of and we can breathe a bit of relief from all that's been going on!

I'll end with my New Year Resolution. I am striving to make sure that everyone in my life knows how important and loved they are. I want to leave people not knowing what tomorrow brings, always telling them I love them. It's a great goal. I hope to accomplish it.

Happy New Year!
