So I guess as the kids get older and life gets a little more crazy, I post blogs a little less. Luckily, I find I'm not the only one this is happening too. I see many of my friends haven't updated blogs in a while either so that makes me feel better:) Obviously a year has gone by so lots has happened. In July we went on our family vacation to Myrtle Beach. What a great time, but right now the age of the kids makes things a little less relaxing, but I think that may start changing this year. In November we had SJ's 3rd Birthday! Holy cow! I can't believe it's been 3 years. We have definitely gone through our rough spots but we are learning how to deal with his personality and realizing how we deal with him affects how he acts. So, we are working on how we act towards him and he is starting to learn to deal with his feelings and reactions. He's definitely a total boy! He's got a TON of energy! He's got such a personality too...and very smart might I add:) I'm a proud mommy! Seth had 2 birthdays this year. He had a party in Maryland and then we flew to Louisiana on his birthday and we had another party there with the Greer's! We had a Robot cake (thanks Aunt Step) and everything. That kid was spoiled because a few days later we celebrated christmas down there. So he got presents in Maryland, birthday presents in Lousiana, and then Christmas presents.
Christmas was in Maryland this year and I think I was just as excited as the kids. We had Snowflake the elf stay with us from Thanksgiving until Christmas and the kids were excited to see where he landed each day. Seth was super excited christmas morning when he saw Santa brought him a Rocketship! Just what he asked for! Abby was just happy with whatever. She kept telling us that she cried when she saw Santa. Hopefully she'll be happier seeing him next year.
Next week is Abby's 2nd Birthday. She is definitely all girl. She loves her dollies and dressing up. She LOVES shoes which she totally doesn't get from me, must be daddy...he loves his shoes too! Abby is totally into Peppa Pig on Nick Jr. so we are having a Peppa Birthday this year. She better realize how much Mommy loves her because the decorations are coming all the way from the UK. That will never happen again because mommy thought the price was already converted to US $ and it wasn't! Let's just say when I saw my bank account I tried to cancel the order but it was too late. So...Abby is now potty trained! Our biggest accomplishment for her this year! She is still wet at naps and in the morning so stays in diapers then, but she is in big girl panties the rest of the day! So proud of her and excited to not have to change poopie diapers anymore! HOORAY!
I think that's all for now. Better get back to my stay at home mommy work! Still loving every minute of being home during the day!
