Random Video

So this video is four minutes of Alan being Alan - we were sitting on the floor playing and he was dancing to the music, but of course when I brought out the camera he was much more interested in it than anything else. I am going to keep trying to catch him dancing, though - it's the cutest thing ever!

Lazy Saturday

Unbelievably, my son took a 2 hour nap and my daughter is in her second hour of a nap today (this NEVER happens) so I am using my quiet time to blog while she sleeps and he plays with the back door rug. We've been busy around here - school started and I am taking 4 classes this semester. Plus we are trying to rearrange the house a bit - right now Alan's bedroom is also the office, and I would like for it to just be a bedroom. Ultimately, I want to move Aurora into that room (its bigger), move Alan into her room, and move the computer desk into the master bedroom but I have to take baby steps and do a little bit at a time :) (Okay, ULTIMATELY I want a bigger house but that will have to wait until the market turns around a bit more) Anyway, here are some pics for you!

Grandma E sent a cute little cheerleader outfit from Aurora's favorite school and she couldn't wait to try it on!

Our little man is standing up! He pulls to a stand on just about everything now. We haven't lowered the crib mattress yet, so when I go to get him after his nap he is usually standing there hanging his arms over the side and laughing. Its just a matter of time before he falls out, I know.

And there is nothing like going to bed with a good book :)

(yep, she's sound asleep under there)

My baby is THREE!!!

I cannot believe how fast time flies! Aurora is officially THREE years old, and Alan is 7 months already! I guess this means I'm getting old too...

We had a wonderful birthday party at the gymnastics center and all the kids (and adults) had a great time jumping and bouncing and running around.. here are some pictures!
