This can't be December...
Sunday, December 13, 2009
I just started thinking about how December is halfway over and I can hardly believe it. I blame the beautiful weather. It's tricked me into thinking it can't really be December. I mean last Tuesday it was 72 degrees! We went out walking with no jackets or sweaters... it felt really weird. Especially when my sister called to tell me she'd just been snowboarding in negative temperatures. Yikes, baby it is not cold outside here. People here keep trying to convince me it's cold outside but sweater weather is not cold. Come on people. I think when we travel to see family over the holidays I am going to freeze!
Over the past few weeks we have spent a lot of time at home together. Not because the weather is bad, but because the boys have had colds. We had about a week where they were both feeling well with no runny nose. It was like I didn't know my own happy children. It was wonderful. When they are happy, I am extra happy I think.
The boys have been playing together more and more as Russell gets older. I really love watching them explore and play together. Sam seems to enjoy teaching Russell everything he knows, good or bad:)
I couldn't resisit a few photo opportunitites of them playing together.
In the car the other day I turned around to see this...
Sam said Russell was scared of my driving, so he was holding his hand so he wouldn't be scared.
Helping with the dishesn a.k.a. playing in the soapy water...

(pants optional, I guess)
Playing in the cupboards...
One would get in and the other would close the door for him. Sam said they were playing house. I think Russell thought they were playing peek-a-boo.
Helping me bake goodies...
We've got to taste test things, right?
Some sweet Russell moments...
The boys favorite past time...wrestling with Dad.
As the days fly by we are preparing for our trip to see everyone and we are very excited! This may well be our last big trip "Home" for the holidays. Maybe next year we'll live a bit closer,(within reasonable driving distance) and we'll get to see everyone a bit more. We look forward to it.
