December Memories

This might be my favorite picture of the month:


Doug has taken up cycling and is really enjoying it. He gets to see things like this on his rides:
(He has a private cycling blog, if you are interested in viewing it, let me know and I will have him send you an invitation.)



My belly is ever growing. I am 27 weeks and my belly is measuring 30 weeks. I can tell this baby will be big. I had a check up today and I am having too many contractions, so it's time to take it easy for awhile (or I will end up on bed rest, which I don't think I would like at all):


Lucas had a holiday party at school:


He loves his teacher, Mrs. See, and I think she is amazing too:


Sam is in love with K. Kaye, who works at the front office. He talks about her daily and always wants to go say hi to her. He insisted on giving her this stuffed animal dog for Christmas:


Here is Lucas with some of his school buddies:


And here is a picture of the boys with the school principal, Mrs. Mattingly, who we adore. It is because of a telephone conversation with her (while we were still living in NYC) that we chose this school:


We had our first NEW YORK visitors this week. Kyle, Lori, Collin and Graham lived down the hall from us in NYC and we saw each other often in the hallway for scooting and chatting. We miss you guys!




While Grandma Susan was here, the boys got to visit Doug's office for the first time. It took them about two seconds to find the treat drawer:




We went to Baker's Ribs for lunch (near downtown) and it was SO delicious:


The boys fell asleep on the way to drop off Grandma Susan at the airport. Thank you for a great visit, Grandma Susan! Please come visit again.


And otherwise, we have just been hanging out and enjoying the Christmas holiday:
