What we've been up to

I posted this picture first so that whenever I check my blog I will see my husband. This is only bc I really never see him anymore for he is a slave to his studies. I am happy to say he is doing well in school and that this will come to an end one day.

Here we are setting up the Christmas tree. This is the first year we went with a fake tree. We will be departing Norfolk on the 16th so we figured we didn't want to come home in Jan to a pile of needles. It is a cute little tree and the kids and I had fun putting it up. We turned on some Christmas music and had a festive day of Christmas joy.

My cute little Adam who is loving the tree and also loving to take everything off. We love our little people in our life. He sure is cute though. This kid is STILL nursing. It is time to be done but it's just not happening. Oh well. Keep on nursing Adam.

Here I am setting up the tree. It is fun to have Liam in my life bc the boy is now 6 years old and as smart as they come. He reminds me of his father bc he can figure anything out. We have a Wii and if I don't know how to work something, he is right there figuring it all out. He took out the tree and got it all organized and he does projects all day around the house. He's loving to spell and write lately and he's just a fun guy to be around. I love that kid.

Here he is making sure everything is just right on the tree. He and Sean were playing pirates previous to this activity. He is very good at helping Sean and teaching him new things. He is a good big brother. Sean and Adam have enjoyed having him around Thanksgiving break while school has been out.

THANKSGIVING. Here it is. I decided to cook all the items that I love whether the people around here would enjoy it or not. Michael had to study all morning but around 2pm he came down and the five of us ate honeybaked ham, mashed potates, stuffing, jello salad, rolls, deviled eggs, veggies and dip and pecan pie.

Oh yes and the boys really wanted little sausage smokies. We also had a special drink. Mostly the boys, who arrived in their underwear, didn't enjoy the Thanksgiving tastes, but oh well. It came, we ate, it is gone and now I'm eating all the leftovers. Yum yum. I obviously missed my Colorado people but what are you going to do when you live on the other side of the country.

Liam turned 6 on Nov 22. He is huge. We had carrot cake cupcakes, his favorite. We got a few presents from the dollar store which he enjoyed. It was a good bday.

Lizzy was here to help watch the boys while I took a quick trip to CO. She had a bday while she was here so we celebrated. The boys had fun with Lizzy and they can't wait for her to come back.

Here I am in colorful CO with my people. This was fun. Thank you to all ya'll for the fun weekend. Delicious.

My Erin, My Teri, and me. Happiness.

My Jenny. I was lucky to sleep at her coolio apt. in Denver one night. She has it going on there, that is for sure. Her and Emma are living in a lovely spot there and are doing quite well. How exciting for them and oh how I miss them.

My cute little Sean and Adam. They play together very well. Third children are so lucky with all the entertainment they receive from their siblings. Adam is a lovely child with a great personality. Sean, well he is a little flirt with cute little lips.

Oh yes, then there was Halloween. We have Woody, the old fall back tiger costume, and Buzz Lightyear of Star Comand. Adam was loving the suckers.

Cute little ADAM.

They were quite the pair. These two really watch out for each other. We went to the library for some Halloween activities, then we went trick or treating in our neighborhood, then we went to trunk or treat, then we went to one of Michael's fellow students house for a Halloween party. It was fun.

I love this picture. Liam had just gotten his new cowboy boots and a belt. He had his gun and a hat and he thought he was the man. I really do hang out with boys 24/7. I'm sometimes wondering if there is a little girl out there somewhere that might come and join this group of boys. I'd love to have at least one girl around here. We shall see. Only time will tell. For now it is me and the four boys in my life, actually only three bc Michael is missing in action. I'm a lucky girl to be surrounded by such cute boys.
