We do lots of wild and crazy things here, but it does help maintain some sanity and in the end we are laughing and having fun. Here are some pictures of us just being generally silly:

We also were walking around funny a couple of times, but people just gave us a weird look instead of laughing:

And Daddy makes a great human slide/trampoline:

We had a great Xmas this year. Connor decided that he was in charge of unwrapping all of the gifts, while Amelia just had fun playing with the new toys, especially her doll stroller. Dennis & I received Ninja masks, aka fleece hoods, which are surprisingly warm and have been already worn by both of us numerous times when taking Bailey out for a walk or to play fetch in the back yard.
First, our tree:
This first set of pictures are from Terri's house where we celebrated on Xmas Eve:

Now, for Xmas at home:
First, they got the blankets I made them:

Then they checked out the tree after Santa came to visit:

We hope everyone had a wonderful day, as we had lots of fun watching Xmas through our children's eyes!
So I went to my 18 month well check the other day and here are my stats:
weight: 28 pounds 2 ounces
height: 34.25 inches
head: 47 cm
I am in the 95th percentile for both height and weight so I am as tall as I am chubby! I got one shot and cried for just a second. Here are some pictures of me eating mashed potatoes:

And here are some pictures of Connor with Moxie. Who would've thought that Moxie would be the cat that would allow my brother to do this:

We have a new friend. Her name is Violet. She is soooo much fun to play with. Whenever she comes over, we always lose track of time because we don't want the fun to stop. Daddy was friends with her mom in high school and thanks to FB, we have a new play friend. She is coming over today and we are can't wait. Here are some pictures of the good times we have had on the last two playdates:

Oh, and her mom is pretty cool too, or so Mommy and Daddy say! :)
Who would have ever thought that Moxie was going to love us kids. Mommy & daddy sure didn't. Here she is demonstrating her patience as I line-up my cars on her:
Amelia swooped in to save Moxie and milliseconds later, she pushed all the cars off of her (and then pushed Moxie off too) but she made it up to her the next day and gave her a kiss:
