100th Post

Well for this post I thought that I would just post our most recent family picture, we are getting ready to take more so this is a little bit old but it will work. We are all but ready for Christmas and William is so excited he can hardly contain himself. My projects are almost done one of them however is not turning out at all how I had hoped, oh well it'll work I guess. I have decided that I have tried and tried and it is official, I cannot sew. It is just not one of my talents I guess. Well Merry Christmas and Happy 100 day!

Life Gets Busy

I have been terrible about blogging lately and since it is now 5:30am and I have been up with Charley since 4:00 what better time then now. We have just been busy keeping up with life. Ben finished his last class/test on Thursday for the semester so it will be great to have him join us again in the real world. I have been working and then also working on some Christmas present/projects that have been taking up my thoughts an time and not turning out as cute as I would like them to in my head. The days are flying by and we are filling them with various activities. We had a lot of fun the other morning making Gingerbread houses with a friend, William and Sammy worked very hard and I think that they turned out great. Charley is 11 months old and getting big he spends most of his time cruising around with his little waker he loves to chase after William and attempts to get into anything he can possibly reach. His new favorite thing is to 'talk' on the phone where he mostly says no and a few other things in a loud tone of voice. He has a big gooey smile and makes me laugh all the time. I chuckled the other day because William took Charley on a ride on his bike and as they were going around, Charley's feet are now long enough to reach the ground and William kept saying "Charley please stop going backwards." They are getting along pretty well for the most part right now and I am loving it. One more though before I go. The other day I was looking on facebook and I have a friend who adopted a little African-American boy who is adorable. William saw the picture and said "Mom!

look at that cute little brown boy. Can I color Charley brown and paint his hair black so we can have a cute little brown boy too?" I laughed so hard and then told him we would have to ask dad about it. Well since I doubt I will be back this week. Merry Christmas to the blogging life.

I Take it Back

I have to undo most if what I said about visiting teaching. I am very grateful for my visiting teacher that comes every month, it is nice to have some one to talk to occasionally and the more I have gotten to know her the more that I realize that we are a lot alike. I also have found that my visiting teaching partner is great and the sister that we teach is so sweet and such an example to me. I think that is why I was so frustrated with it because I feel like I have nothing to teach her but as it turns out I still have nothing to teach her but I do enjoy going to her house. Life in our household is passing much like it always does, fast but what can you do? Christmas is fast approaching and we are almost ready so bring it on right. No pictures today because I am using our other computer that has nothing on it but this is a quick little update on our lives and it had to be quick because my kids refuse to leave me alone today and we haven't gotten anything done.
