Catch Up

It has been a bit since I have posted, so I am going to just play a little catch up and give a sample of photos from the week. All of the Christmas preparations have kept me a little off of my blogging game, but hopefully I will get a little better at it after the holidays!
Drew and Graham waiting in line for Santa....this was just before each of them had horrifing photo ops with the big guy.
Our trip to see the "Millis Wonderland". We were quite impressed - by the lights and the fact that there was NO LINE! Drew's new line in the car is "I SEE MORE WIGHTS THAT WAY!"
There are 3 "reindeer" (as Drew likes to call them), that have been coming to our back yard on a daily basis. They have found my pumpkins and seem to be enjoying them. I am very tempted to toss some apples back there, but I am not sure if that is a great idea with the potential for all of the other crazy wildlife we have back there to come out.

Drew having fun with his "pay-do".

The stuff that comes out of Drews mouth on a daily basis is just hysterical. One afternoon, I turned on the tv and Barak Obama was giving a speech. I over heard him mimic the news a few nights prior saying "Barak Obama", so I pointed to him and asked who it was (now he was in the middle of his speech so no one said his name)...and he responded "Barak Obama". I almost fell over. No one has taught him that one.

We took one of our almost daily trips through Dunkin Donuts the other day and my order was $2.6o something, so I handed over $3 and started to drive off. As I was pulling away Drew yells from the back "keep the change!"

We have to be so careful what we say around the house because this kid picks up on everything! He also has an excellent memory and likes to tell stories to strangers. For example, we were doing some Christmas shopping a few days ago and he told the person helping us all about "Daddy up in attic" (when he was putting in insulation 4 days prior). So all this from a not-quite-2-year-old.....what can we look forward to in the next year or so? I am not sure I want to know.

Oh boy, in a year from now...just wait!! It's amazing. Lucy is almost 3 now and completely conversant. It's really cool, but challenging at times because she knows what she wants and how to say it! Phoebe has started saying Dada and Mama which, to me, is equally amazing :)
