I haven't blogged in a while mostly because I've been tormented by the fact that I lost all of our digital photos. Fortunately, I had printed out a copy of everything up until about the middle of 2007. For those of you that have sent me links and e-mails of photos that I have sent you over the last several months, THANK YOU! It'll be great to piece together a portion of the year for the kids scrapbooks!!!
We are definitely starting to feel at "home" in Nevada. It's been 8 months and we feel settled - a much smoother transition than some of our previous moves. In November, we had several of our "new" friends over to watch some football. The guys had fun drinking beer while the girls chatted and the kids put on play after play for us. The kids also made some cute turkey hats.
It's hard to believe but Christmas is just around the corner. This year, we have a new addition to our family - our Elf on the Shelf named Jon. What a great tradition!!! They should have a Cupid, Leprechaun, Easter Bunny, Uncle Sam, Ghost, Turkey ... "on a Shelf". Dan said, "We need one of these things year round!" To see more about our new friend, visit elfontheshelf.com. And no, we do not own stock in the company. :-)
Aside from the excitement of the holidays, we have childhood stepping stones to be proud of. Cameron is learning to read!!! Tonight as he was reading us his book, he would read each page and then turn the book around proudly to display the pictures (all the time making sure that Jon, The Elf, could see. Santa is watching after all.) What a big boy he is becoming!!! Does anyone know how to make it stop? :-)
Off to relax with Dan as he is home only for brief periods of time these days. (Thank you everyone for keeping Amazon busy during these economic times!) Caitlin is walking with her Brownie Troop this Saturday in our "Hometown Parade" so there's sure to be another blog with photos very soon.
Don't forget to root on Army this Saturday. BEAT NAVY!!!
Much love,
DDCC
