Yes, we are still alive

It's been a while, but we are still here. Here's what we've been doing: helping my parents pack up and move, moving ourselves from WV to Missouri, settling in Missouri, frantically finishing Christmas presents, hanging with family, looking for a job, looking for a job...

Here are a few Christmas pictures. Not all of them... it just takes too much time! These are Christmas Eve.

One thing we've enjoyed being here is that both kids have gotten so comfortable around dogs. Ethan would have nothing to do with dogs before but now he's very comfortable around them.

Making cookies for santa.

Shirt off-- it was practically getting rubbed through the frosting.

This was the Christmas present I made for Ethan, 4 waffles, waffle maker, fruit, eggs, bacon. Took SO long but super super cute. I love it!

Eliza got so excited about her presents, we've never seen her that excited. She started to bounce up and down and squeal when we put a present in front of her. Such a cutie

Merry Christmas!

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
