Andrew's Quote of the Day

Driving in the car...

Me: "Arrrrgh!"
Andrew: "What is it?"
Me: "The other people aren't driving very well and it's frustrating Mommy."
Andrew: "It's okay, I'll give you a hug when we get to the restaurant."

That just about melted my heart.

He's Crawling!

Benjamin was just spotted doing something new. He was army crawling across the room toward his wooden teething ring. In the past he had to roll to the side to get anywhere, but now he's moving directly ahead!

Overdue: a video of Ben's first word "dada". He says it a bunch these days.

Merry Christmas

It was a wonderful Christmas. The weather cleared up enough that we were able to spend some time with the whole family.

I think this has been the best Christmas so far with kids... Andrew really got the concept of Santa for the first time this year (although we reminded him about what Christmas is really about) and Ben had a look of pure glee sitting amidst all the wrapping paper and rustling it around. I'm pretty sure we could have given him a roll of paper and he would have been just as excited. Andrew told me before he went to sleep that his favorite presents were the digital camera that Santa brought and the Leapster from my parents. Both good solid choices.

Scott and I scored too - I got Wii Fit and some sewing paraphernalia and Scott scooped up the usual video game and video game related items. We also got an awesome calendar my mom made with pictures from the whole family and all the family birthdays and holidays printed it. I love it.

Overall a good day, other than Andrew still being sick. He's already woken up every hour tonight crying because he doesn't feel good. Poor little buddy.

Andrew's Quote of the Day

Grammy: "Should we sing happy birthday to Jesus?"
Andrew: "No, he's in my heart and can't get out."

Andrew's Quote of the Day

Scott: "I'm making you toast because you're hungry. Hungry mungry."
Andrew: "What's a mungry?"
Scott: "There's no such thing as a mungry, Daddy just made it up."
Andrew: "But that doesn't make any sense to me."

Andrew Quote

I just had to write this down before I forgot. Here's a little conversation Andrew and I just had. We were listening to a Christmas playlist I put together.

Me: "I made the best Christmas compilation ever."
Andrew: "Why?"
Me: "Because I'm awesome."
Andrew: "Well, you look awesome but you're not."

I guess at least I look awesome...
