I just realized how long it has been since I updated the blog, but I am committing myself to getting back on track. I have a bunch of pics from our Thanksgiving trip to Utah and California, but my hard drive crashed! Luckily I e-mailed previews to our parents so I will get them back out of cyberspace and back here on the blog!
This past week has hit us like a bulldozer! We have been sick (REALLY SICK...Audrey and I are still getting over it), had to make 3 different desserts for Raleigh's preschool (because I am a dork and forgot the NO PEANUT rule in school), I had my busy week of the month for work, and we have had doctor's appointments like crazy! We got another ultrasound of Heidi though and all of her missing measurements were found and she is one healthy little bean.
We saw Santa come by helicopter but we didn't wait in line for the picture. Instead, we went to the mall and took a pic with a creepy Santa and paid way too much! They make you buy a package of pics instead of just one pic now. So, the grandparents have nice pictures of us and creepy Santa! Raleigh was a brave little man and went right up to Santa to tell him he wanted Toy Story 2 and bones for Gwyn. Audrey was thrilled until we got up there and then she clung to my neck so hard it left marks.
Audrey had her 18 month check up and did really well. She had 4 shots and an ear infection, but she cried WAY less than before. She started hyperventilating when we got into the room, but I got her calmed down. She HATES any doctor's office and screams as soon as she sees them. I guess its a good thing I am not a doctor now!
Raleigh changed preschool classes because his class got too small (there were only 3 of them left). Luckily his best friend went into the same class and made the transition easier! He has been having a blast. It took him a while to get used to the girls though. His last class was all boys! On the first day, him and his friend were locking the girls out of the playhouse and blowing rasberries to keep them away (Raleigh and Luke called it spitting at them). His preschool friend who had to go in another class also told his mom that he doesn't like the girls. I guess they were happy with their men's club! His teacher is now Miss Teri and she is really nice, but she has a class of 10 kids and it is overwhelming!
Raleigh has been cooking with me and helped me bake all 3 desserts. He follows me everywhere. He always thinks I am up to something fun. Audrey is clingy to me now too, but I think that has more to do with being sick than anything else.
Every night, Trevor plays a game with the kids where they stand on our bed and he pushes them over. They crack up and will play forever! They have been looking forward to this every night! I will get it on video one of these nights.
And, tonight we took the kids to the Portland International Raceway to see the Christmas lights. They set up the whole racetrack with light scenes and you drive around and look at them. The kids LOVED it! Raleigh pointed out everything! And Audrey jumped and danced! When it was over both kids were really sad and quiet. Raleigh even asked if we could go through again!
Okay, that's enough updating! Here is a pic to hold you over! Here is what happens when you try to lay down in our house....
