January Update

Been working on pictures lately, and I am almost caught up! Just a few days left from December. Here is a cute one of me and kids from the other night.



And another cute one of just them:


Not a whole lot else going on. Liam is back in school, and enjoying it. He is loving his new bed! (Pictures to come). We enrolled Rowan in pre-school for next year. I thought that maybe we could skip the first year for her, but if Liam doesn't go there for kindergarten, than next year would be the only year they attended the school together, so we decided to go ahead and let her go too. She will love it, I'm sure! And Liam will love seeing her there too.

The kids had their dentist apt. on Monday, and they did great! Liam cried a little when they did the rest of his x-rays (a couple they were not able to get last time). But he let them clean his teeth, and Rowan did not really like the angle of the dentist chair, so we let her lay in my lap again. Last time she cried the whole time, but she didn't cry this time! I was so proud of both of them.

I forgot my camera, so these are phone pics.

Kid's Pictures Part I

So last Christmas (2010), Liam's school had a fund raiser for a couple of girls that have cancer. We ended up having the winning bid on a photo shoot, that someone donated for the silent auction. I casually tried setting up a shoot in the summer time, but nothing materialized, and time flew by, and I kept putting it off. The woman contacted me in the Fall, and asked if we'd like to do it before winter hits...well, to make a long story short we finally were able to set it up on a super beautiful day, Halloween. Unfortunately, Mike was not able to be there because he thought he was going to be leaving on a business trip that week, and needed to be at work when we set up the time. But, we really wanted to get some pictures done before the cold...The kids were being completely uncooperative this day, and I am truly amazed that she was able to get as many as she did : ) Since she was only able to get about 1/2 the amount of pictures she normally does, and Mike was not able to make it, she kindly offered to take a family picture in the Spring time. So, below are a few, and the link below shows the rest. Hopefully, we can get the kids to sit still for a nice family picture in the Spring because we have not had one in a LONG time!
