More pics and updates

I have been really busy with work lately it seems i have hardly taken any photos that were not on my phone. Here are a few from my phone though. The quality may not be the greatest but they are still fun. He is such a big helper at work! hahaha...I love having him at work with me although it seems a lot of the times i am cleaning up after him and waiting for him to take a nap so that I can get real work done! He loves to play under the clothes rack. I mean...who wouldn't? I know all babes love to play in the clothes racks but how awesome is it that he gets to play in them all day long?!

Merry Christmas

I have had a problem getting my internet running but we are now fully functional. It's about time, I know. I feel that you are all so disconnected with the boy and how much he has grown in the last couple of months. But I hope you all k now that this is the first thing that i have done since setting this computer up. Happy???
Christmas was great. We had a nice and relaxing holiday this year. No offense but i think we are never going to travel for the holidays again. It's so much less stressful to travel when it's not the holidays. Mike's girls came over on Christmas eve and we had a nice dinner and celebrated all day. We watched Polar Express and ate and drank and we were merry! We actually opened all the presents Christmas eve so on Christmas morning we were a bit bored! It was nice though so we took Finley on a walk. (long overdue) and watched a movie and just hung out. Very low key! Here are a few pics from our day. Owen got a train set(or was it mike that got it? (Not sure who will enjoy it more!) He also got an awesome banjo. Not a real one but a Plan Toys one! Equally as cool. What else?? An ambulance, a pull along alligator, and some clothes. We are still waiting on a couple of late packages so we are excited that Christmas is lasting a bit longer!!

catchin up on the times

I pathetically hang my head as I have hardly picked up my camera lately. I have been so busy. I have to admit that I also have a really nice camera on my phone and I have been taking some great pics on that. I need to take them and put them on the computer to see what the quality is like but until now you get all the pics i have taken lately.

How cute are kiddos in winter garb?!

I found this super cute scarf for owen. I think I want to eat him up when he wears it. Unfortunately he doesn't keep in on very long. ANy suggestions to get them to keep their hats on?

the whirl wind we call life

So, our trip was good. Now we are back. The end. Just kidding, of course. there is much more to It than that. I will gradually catch everyone up on the last month. Owen is walking, running and talking now. No more leisure time. He is a very busy boy, with no fear at that! That means I am on call 24/7.
So as soon as we got home from our trip I went to work "full time". Which is great. Leslie at

Lily Toad offered me "manager". which means more hours basically. A few more responsibilities too but a wonderful opp. I take Owen in with me and get experience running the show. So I have had no down time. Here are just a few pics from our trip.
