Its been a while.

Happy Anniversary to us! :)
Today Greg and I are celebrating
4 wonderful years of marriage!
We were talking last night and were realizing
that it doesn't seem like its been a long time,
but doesn't seem like it was "just yesterday" either....
however long, its been great and I'm so grateful
for Greg (and his super awesome family!) in my life.
Now...4 years and 2 kids later, here's a little about
whats going on with us (lol, its been a while since
I've posted)--

Luke is right in between 3 and 31/2 and is such a smarty.
He loves singing the abc song, and most recently
loves singing Jingle Bells...the "Hey!" is his fav. part. :)
He is patient with me each morning during "learning time" and
does his counting and abc's and is also learning
how to write his name.
Luke loves playing with 'Livi Pie' --he is either
playing with her and making her laugh, or doing
all he can to protect his toys from her...she's been
nick-named 'King Kong Livi Pie'. He also thinks
its funny to take something she is playing with and
put it up high where she can't reach it...ya,
we're working on that one. He really
does love his sister so much though.
Luke loves everything about Christmas this year.
We wrote a letter to Santa and received a letter
back from Santa just last week! Luke is trying
hard to be a good boy so that Santa will
bring him the 'airplane train' that he wants (geo trax).
He loves our Christmas tree and adores all the lights
on it...1400 to be exact (Greg's a master! lol).

lol to this pix!!..we asked Luke to try and hold her.

He was definitely doing his best. :)

Olivia is almost 10 months old and is a little firecracker.
She loves her big brother Luke and thinks
that he is funny. She has 6 teeth (only sad when you look
at it from my "nursing mother" perspective. lol) and so cute
when we get a big teethy smile from her. She's been
crawling for ages, but just recently started pulling herself
up...now, everytime we turn our backs she's standing next
to something new. Its fun to watch her grow. Oh, and she
is still super bald. :)

Lots more to say (including Thanksgiving info

that I skipped over),

but it will have to wait for a day

thats not my anniversary. :)..... I've got a picture

of the tree coming....just need to take one in the dark

so you can see ALL the LIGHTS! :)
