It's Beginning to Look alot like Christmas
The beginning of the decorating
The Real Tree. We only had one meltdown at the tree farm so I say...SUCCESS!!!
Ready for Santa Claus!
The wine bar at our party. Like I said, I still stink at my new camera so the rest of the pictures (like the table full of food I made, the people there, etc.) somehow got erased. Oh well...
My super cute wine glass name cards:) I am SO clever!
Slacker Mom
OK, I am a complete slacker and realize that I haven't updated in over a month. I thought I would fill in on all of the going ons in the Lane House since then to keep everyone in the loop.
First of all, I got a new camera for an early Christmas present. It took me three weeks to have enough time to load all of the software to upload the pictures. I know there aren't many pictures to see, but I didn't know how to use the camera! I am much more capable now:)
Alison and Brody have just gotten over a nasty Upper Respiratory Infection and Ali had a double ear infection to boot. All of this of course happened while Jon was recovering from his knee surgery. Thank Goodness Mimi was her to help out. However, she got Bronchitis as a departing gift. Jon and I are just waiting to see when we will get it.
We spent the weekend before Thanksgiving in Rhode Island and had a great time with family and friends. I took pictures of the kiddos, but those pictures are on the other camera and it may be a while before I can get the pictures off of that relic!
Ali is still as sassy as ever. She never wants to wear what I put out and her favorite phrase is "No!" and "I don't like/want it". Great, exactly what we need, another opinion! She continues to love learning and currently knows all of her letters (uppercase and lowercase), most of their sounds, numbers to 15, colors, shapes and pretty much everything else she can get her hands on. It's pretty hilarious to practice letter flashcards with Brody and have Alison screaming the answer from the other side of the room before him. He gets super mad!
Brody has a love/hate relationship with school. He hates waking up in the morning and getting ready, but loves to go to school and play "activities" with his friends. His teacher tells me that he is excelling in math, but needs to work on his letters. His attention span is as big as an ant's unless he is super interested in it. Can't wait for kindergarten. He did pay attention yesterday for an hour to correctly put together a Lego tanker truck he bought with his allowance though...go figure!
All in all, I vow to update more often, take more pictures, and write more reports for everyone. Everyone can have a new year's resolution right? Hopefully this one will last longer than usual!
