I had every intention of keeping up on this blog on a regular basis. But I guess I had also intended to write in Audreys and Paytons journals, and scrap all my pictures, and keep in better contact with my friends. LOL. Better late than never??
Well, Happy belated Christmas!! We had a good holiday. We were concerned that we would not be able to spend time outside of the house for christmas with the roads being as horrible as they were from the snow. But we decided to give it a go. On Christmas eve we went over to our surrogate familys house. They are not blood relatives but they may as well be. They have a white elephant gift exchange every year and every year we are unable to attend. Well, this year we made it and we are so glad we did. We had a great time, as we always do. I got a gift card to starbucks and a couple small things from crate and barrel. Aaron got a bathroom reader and some scratch its.
Christmas morning we were here at home. Payton got way too many gifts as usual. Audrey did pretty darn good too! We decided to save a little money and did not buy much for her since we knew others would and she will not know the difference anyway. They enjoyed their morning and loved their gifts. Audrey especially loved the paper. After we were done with our gifts we went to celebrate with Aarons mom, step dad, sister, brother in law and the kiddos. We had a nice relaxing time with them and ate yummy food.
New Years was spent at home with more of the surrogate family (Jeromy, Darci, and their boys). Darci is pregnant and Aaron and Jer do not drink so the party was sparkling apple cider. All the kids stayed up (except Audrey) and boy were they tired!!! So were the adults. Audrey, who normally sleeps pretty good, decided that she was going to wake several times after I went to bed that night. Yawn! All in all it was a good New Years. Oh except for the part where Aaron got two tickets on his way home from a 13 hour day at work on New Years Eve. Good times. NOT!!!
In other news, Audrey is rolling over from her belly to her back. And today she sat up on her own for the first time. She is still not eating solids. Well, baby solids anyway. She loves, loves, loves, crackers. She shakes because she is so excited when I put them on her high chair. It is a site to see. But baby food she spits out. Does not like it. And she still does not like her bottle. Grrrrr. She will have to like it pretty soon darn it. I will not breastfeed her forever. Bitty.....
Payton is back in school, thank the lord!!! He had some serious cabin fever and since I work from home I do not have a lot of time to entertain him. I think that he is happier being back in school though he would never admit it. He loved school last year but now that he has to do real work....forget it. LOL.
Ok, that is all I've got for now. Need sleep.
