Day by Day

Wow, my last post was Christmas pictures and now it is spring. Yep, I was definitely in a blog drought. I guess I ran out of stuff to say. To detail my day would be awfully monotonous. Get kids up, feed kids, play with kids, feed kids, bathe kids, put kids to bed. Yep, that's about it. I am not going to bore you with months of minute details. Here's a quick summary. Jordan is walking and running now like a pro. She is a chatterbox and very much a diva. Jackson is doing AWESOME in school. No bad marks on his calendar. Makes you wonder if it was him or the teacher in NC, huh? Adam is busy with school and work. I am still staying home with Jordan. I have a new obsession. I got sucked in by the Twilight saga. I borrowed my best friend's copy of Twilight and didn't stop reading until I had finished all four books in the series. I've seen the movie many times and am waiting on my own copy to come in the mail. I have multiple Twilight sites I visit daily for updates on the second movie. And let's not forget about Robert Pattinson, who I affectionately call RP. He is the first true celeb crush I have had in years. I <3 him! Well, I will wrap it up for now, if I don't I will just type about Twilight until all of my followers leave me. Here are some recent pictures.

(What, I told you I was obsessed, what did you expect?)

We are finally moved in and I can catch you all up. To start off, here are my favorite photos from Christmas. We came back home to celebrate with family then drove back to our house so Santa could visit and we could finish up packing.

Christmas pictures will be coming but bear with me. We are in the process of a move so it's a little crazy around here. Don't give up on me, I didn't abandon my blog.;)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..... well, except these 70 degree days we've had. Our house is decorated. Stockings are hung and candles are in the windows (too bad I forget to turn them on most nights). That is our tree in the photo above. We had no space for a tree this year so we went with a tabletop tree, and decorated it in plastic balls since Jordan is very interested in the tree (notice her being sneaky in the picture). This past weekend at church we had our birthday party for Jesus. Then on Sunday Adam and Jackson were in the Christmas play. Jackson was a shepherd. He was so cute and did great. He sang his little heart out. Jordan let me sit through about half the play, then she and I stood in the back foyer. I heard the rest but couldn't see it. Thankfully they recorded it so I will get to watch it in its entirety soon. After the play we had a social with goodies. Santa made an appearance. Jordan was very happy to see him, she was waving and telling him hello.... until I sat her down. You can see by the look on her face that she was over him! Jackson wouldn't go near him. He has never been a fan of people in costumes. He asked me on the way home why Santa looked funny (sorry Mr. Santa who took the time to come to our church). I explained that Santa has helpers. At first he was confused, he said that the elves were the helpers. Then a light bulb went off in his head and he said "I get it, the real Santa comes to our house and Santa helpers just go to church". I jsut smiled and nodded. There were gifts from Santa at the social. My kids were also given gifts by different members of the church. It was very nice of them to think of us. I told Jackson that he got plenty and maybe I should call Santa and tell him never mind on coming on the 25th. He just looked at me like I was crazy. On a side note, Jordan got her first mini haircut. She loves pulling her bows out now and her bangs were hanging in her face all the time. I trimmed them up so when she is bow-less she still looks presentable. I didn't even save a lock of hair, it was such a small trim, there wasn't a lock to save. But I do think this small cut gave her an older appearance. She looks like a toddler now..... and I really don't want her to be a toddler yet. She is taking three or four steps on her own, then lunging herself towards the person in front of her. It is only a matter of time now. *sigh*

Jordan has taken her sweet time trying to walk and I can't say that I mind. I want her to stay my baby as long as possible and once she starts walking she's officially a toddler. We have not given her a push walker, I was worried that it would slip out from under her on our slick floors. She got creative yesterday, she discovered that her Leapfrog Learning Table does the job well. She was pushing it all over and laughing hysterically. She even knows how to maneuver around it when it is up against something so that she can keep moving.
