winter break

This year's winter break for us has been a little bit different than in past years.  The county that I work for does not go back into session until tomorrow, so it seems we have been out for a very long time.  We also have a thriving (to say the least) toddler that we have nicknamed Abu (yes, the mischievous monkey from Aladdin) and that has also made the break a little longer!  Here is a recap of our winter break, we really have had a good time, got a lot accomplished and have all stayed alive through the process.

Christmas through a kids perspective sure does change things!

Riding the horse at the cabin with her new "pack" that holds all her "schnacks."

Enjoying a spirited bike ride with Daddy on Christmas morning!

Playing trains with the boys.

Enjoying some snow in Ohio!

Cuddles with Grandpa and Tiki while watching Sprout!

Enjoying some time at the Chilren's Museum of Richmond with her bff, Penelope.

Fabrics for Oliver's quilt!

One of her favorite places in the world, the bath, now improved with new toys!

Self entertaining time as mommy and daddy try to figure out how to get a license to teach in Ohio.

Jack and watching baby videos on youtube=bliss.

Just wanted to make sure she saw it!

Putting together Oliver's crib with Daddy!

I know that once school starts up again it is going to be a whirlwind until Oliver is with us, so we have worked pretty hard this past week to get a bunch completed.  Including Oliver's crib, his quilt (more pictures to come), Charlotte's birthday party completely planned and many items already bought and of course hours of applications and resume's submitted for our upcoming move to Ohio!

Hope everyone is ready for this new year, because it appears it is already here, ready or not!
