No, I didn't forget about the blog :)

I really haven't. After I wrote the last entry it was Thanksgiving with Kristin coming out and then it was a mad rush to get the house together for when Chuck came home.

Then he DID come home, and after that it turned into 10 days of breathing and time and school and programs and lots of photoshoots.

Then it was Christmas, New Years and then school started up again.

I really don't have that many photos to show but there has been so many thoughts that have happened over the last two months that it's just been a little bit overwhelming.

We've been to Barnes and Noble to spend some time before dance class.

Well, just putting pictures on to my HD from my phone as well as videos, you're in for a treat. I should just link you to my youtube channel, but I'll post some videos here. I'm warning you, some of them are from this summer!!!

I wasn't going to put a Christmas tree up this year because we were going to be leaving and not being home any time around Christmas doesn't make me too excited about going through all that trouble. But then I remembered that we didn't put one up LAST year either because we went to Spokane. And I knew we would be opening gifts at the house this year. So, I caved. But this time I went and bought all new (but on sale) tree decorations that actually have a theme. Or at least a color theme. It was nice.

Then two days after that this happened:

Most of you have already seen this photo. I put it on Facebook. But apparently Facebook isn't enough for you people ;)  BUT, JUST before this happened, we parked in the parking garage and Delaney puked EVERYWHERE. All over herself, all over her seat, the back of my seat, and all over my arm. It was awesome. Not.

Soon after Chuck got home we had stuff to do! Delaney's Christmas program:

She did such a good job. It was so different from Aaron. At this age, he was so embarrassed and wouldn't do a thing!!

Then Delaney had a free dance week (you know, the last one she dressed like Wonder Woman?). She has such a great time.

The next week was Aaron's program which was a huge wackadoo. Let's just say parents are crazy about where they sit and the school gets all freaked out when other parents try to outsmart the stinky parents and reserve seats precisely after drop off when the program isn't until 6:30. Wow. You would have thought we were trying to hold up the church. They acted like no parents have tried to reserve seats ahead of time. Ever.

And these are the kids of photos I get when we sit in the LAST ROW. Whatever. Because, you know what? I could (sort of) see him (even though the pictures aren't great) and he was SINGING. And PARTICIPATING. That's HUGE!

So, he's the one in the VERY front VERY right corner

Here are some summer videos to enjoy:













This is for future blackmail:


From the train this summer:


We just purged a bunch last weekend. A major find:


And Delaney spent her Christmas money on this nifty microphone that plugs into an mp3 player and you can sing to whatever song you want. It's actually quite cool:






Okay, that's about it for now. Next time I will have lots of pictures from our trip home over the holidays. And videos. Of ICE SKATING. And of bowling. :)
