Been too long....

Pig tails!!


Potty time...


Haven't posted in a while! Been busy trying to get this winter over with. We've about had it! Finally got a minivan so that's been pretty exciting, I love the automatic doors and the room; the kids love the DVD player! It worked out so that was a nice surprise.

We celebrated Mia's 2nd birthday on the February 4th. She got lots of fun presents and we had a good time at Grammy and Grampy's with the family. Can't believe my baby is a little girl now. We're trying to work on potty training, she's kind of interested.
She has a BUNCH of personality which makes for exciting and feisty days. She's way too smart. Giving mommy a hard time and kissing up to daddy are her favorite things to do. And dancing- can't forget dance parties!

Vince has been having fun at school and really loves learning. He's been asking how to spell words and we're starting to learn how to read a little but for now he seems more interested in words and spelling. He's still obsessed with Monster trucks and regularly plays so hard/much with them he brakes them.

I'll try not to let it be sooo long next time! XOXO

Ellie, the little girl we watch had a birthday in March and we celebrated with her.


Opening a present we got her, surprised the kids held off....


CrAZy group photo!




Funny things Mia says:
I ask her if she wants something- "Ummm... su'e" Sounds kind of like how sure should sound instead of the "shure" that it actually sounds like.

Ask her to do something- "Nope, sawwy!"




Funny things from Vince:
We were singing along in the van to a CD and Vince said "Dad- when I open my mouth, music notes come out!"

We were walking through Target the other day and he was singing loudly, "You Are My Sunshine".

Winter time fun!

We've had an exciting month so far! We've been busy with work, school, Santa & Christmas coming. Seems like this year just sneaked past us! Where did November go?!

We wrote some letters to Santa and he wrote back! The kids were pretty excited, although Vincent kept asking me "What is taking Santa so long?!" So we made a calendar to count down for him. He's very excited to see if Santa brings the new truck he's been asking for and Mia keeps asking for "Cinderella!"

We went to our Rec Center's X-mas party and Mia jumped up on Santa's lap and started smiling away and told him what she wanted. You can see the pictures below. Vince wasn't quite as keen on him till he saw Mia sitting there and once Gabe threw him on Santa's lap he got over it; a little... The last picture kind of captured their personalities- Vince is being shy and Mia is being cute.

Well, gotta get back to babysitting, cards, cookies and packing for a weekend in West Virginia!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Santa wrote us back!!


Wonder what kind of pudding Mia was eating?!


Vince took a picture of mommy and daddy- I wasn't expecting it to
really turn out so I look weird...

"Well Santa, we've been TRYING to be good..."
