2010 Here We Come

Ready or not 2010 is here. It's amazing how fast another year has flown by. We survived all the Christmas parties and now are resting for a few days before we jump in to a busy New Year. Monday is back to work for both of us. Glenn had three weeks off and I had a week and a half in December. Jan. will prove to be a busy month we have two trips planned for a wedding in Texas and the PGA show in Florida.
Jack was given so many toys for Christmas our house looks like a toy store. I need to go through his older toys to see if we can put up some that he has outgrown. All this stuff is really making me hope for a baby brother. I can't imagine adding dolls and pink to the growing Truck and Hockey stick collection. He spent all morning/afternoon either pushing around a truck or swing a stick. I hope he gets a brother to join him in his fun.
But we will have to wait just under 6 more months to see. 26 weeks to go. I can't wait to enjoy some time at home this summer with my babies!
I've been thinking about New Year's Resolutions and I've got a few I am going to work on. I'm excited to see what this New Year and new change to our family will bring!

Home Again Home Again....

I should be motivated to go get the laundry done so I can pack up for Michigan! Yea! Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I'll get to it! Jack is taking a nap so I am enjoying some peace and only two hands on the keyboard.
He had a busy week at daycare. He is transitioning into the toddler room. In order to move into the next room he has to be able to do a few things like: sit on a chair to eat without falling off, eat with a spoon/fork, sleep on a cot and a few other things. It's been tough on him this week, yesterday he only got a nap for an hour because he got woke up by another kiddie. So he was pretty crabby last night. But we are proud of him for working on big boy things.
We met Glenn for a Mexican lunch today...we love Fridays. I enjoy spending time with Jack and it's been our tradition to meet Glenn for lunch.
See you all soon!

Family Vacation

We finally got a chance to get away. The golf season was over and we got out of here while we could. It was so nice to be in an area where there was no phone service :) Even though poor little Jack was suffering from h1n1 we still had a wonderful vacation. We flew into Durango, Co and stayed one night in a historic hotel The Stator. It was very neat and had a great downtown district. We stopped to visit Mesa Verde Park and toured the ruins. Then we drove 2 1/2 hours up to Moab, Ut. Moab was awesome! I highly recommend it!!! We stayed at the Red Cliff's Lodge, a high class dude ranch, 14 miles out from town on the Colorado River. We spent two days there visiting Arches and Canyonland Parks. What an amazing county God has given us. I am in awe of Utah and can't wait to get back to go to Bryce Canyon and Zion. We had awesome weather for November and hiked too many miles. We did chicken out on one trail. When you only have about six feet on a ledge and you have to jump a crack to continue on you start to doubt why you're on the trail. I can see why they called it Devil's Garden Trail.

Few more Fall pics

By the way...Great Grandma Jennie

Jack loves his little table. When we watch movies downstairs he just sits on that bench like a big kid and swings his little legs. Too cute! Thanks for a great birthday present.

Nummy Nummy Num!

Jack's newest phrase, "Nummy, Nummy, Num!" He sure does love the sweets. I was laughing pretty hard when I was making monkey bread the other night. He stood by the oven waited not so patiently for the bread to be done. He's little song was quite funny.

He has decided this week that he is over crawling...that's so 14 months and he's working on 15 months now. It happened on Tuesday, I took him to daycare got his coat off him and he stood up and walked over to the train table and picked up a train. He wouldn't even say "bye" to me.

He has been quite the ham this week. Glenn was gone golfing in Wisconsin and Jack and I had a blast. He really does not like the cold weather, everytime I put him in his winter coat it's "ouchie, Ouchie, OUCHIE!!!" he crys the whole time it's on him. And I would cry too. It's quite a bit big and pretty much like a striaght jacket. I guess he better keep eatting the monkey bread so he can fit into his coat.

Jack's Walking Now!

Frozen Fall

October started out with a chilly drizzle. I have to upload a new movie clip so everyone can see Jack's latest movie............He is walking! Finally. Considering this child has been pulling himself up since he was 8 months old. This has been a long time coming. Six months later..........ironically more than half his life later he is now taking strides towards running. Last night he took 2 steps, and 7 steps when Glenn came home. He walked a few steps at daycare today and tonight he ran around the couch. He only has one speed FAST. So that must be why he has waited to walk. Because he really doesn't care about walking he is all about the running. He has now entered into the world of childhood.
