And so it begins all over again...

This was one Christmas we will never forget...

When you're feeling so mad and you want to roar...

Julian learned a cute song from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood...

December Update

I know I have been missing from the blog, but its really NOT my fault! Blogger seems to only allot a blog a certain amount of space for pictures and due to all the heavy picture taking and documenting, I have almost reached my max. I literally have to enter pictures one by one to see when I am fully capped, which is very very soon. With that being said, I can not post a million pictures I took from December, but if you are family, you were in attendance for Christmas and witnessed firsthand all the amazing gifts Julian was fortunate and blessed to have received. Here is a list (for documenting purposes, of course):

1. Imaginarium Train Table (Grandma & Grandpa)
2. Little Tikes Bouncy House (It's BIG!) (Santa/M&D)
3. 16 foot remote control Train (Tia Monica)
4. Wooden cars and ball puzzle (Tia Monica)
5. Trumpette Howdy Bouncy Blue Cow he has named "Jerry" (Tia Mollie)
6. Crayola Double-Sided Easel with a bag of crayons and markers, of which markers have been hidden ;) (Santa/M&D)
7. Melissa & Doug Magnetic Letters (M&D)
8. Fisher Price Big Wheel Tricycle (Aunt Heather)
9. Mickey Mouse Crocs and a Remote Control Truck (Chelly)
10. Toytruck and Scentsy Monkey he has named "Charlie" (Tia Orfe)
11. 5 new books and a jumbo size Mickey Mouse coloring book (Santa/M&D)
12. Red Crocs (Tio Ruben)
13. Pumas (M&D)
14. Gray Crocs (M&D)
15. Sperry Top-Sider Kids' Halyard Shoes (Danny & Brenda)
16. 2 Melissa & Doug Jigsaw Puzzles (M&D)
17. Truck with small cars (Tia Efigenia)

I think its pretty obvious he received more than he needed. We know how blessed we are to have such generous family and friends help make our little boy smile.

Here are a few recent pictures from December 2012 and January 2013:

Our first Gingerbread house (probably our last..)

Just a few of his gifts

His cool new train

Ready for school, which by the way, he now LOVES!

 

 

Time, I beg of you...PLEASE slow down!

Julian & Sophia - Best Friends

As our regular play dates have become far and few in between, we take advantage of ANY photo opportunities we have with these kiddos. So as one can imagine, BOTH mommies are clicking away hoping to get a good shot and while its hard to get them all to smile at the same time, mission was surprisingly accomplished. Although I don't think it was even necessary because they are cute enough to pass with or without a smile! 

Sophia & Julian don't seem to skip a beat! Even with the distance and time that has gone by, these kids love each other so much! And just so you all know, we did NOT make them hold hands, they did that all on their own.

 

 I told you they LOVE each other!
