Start of a New Year

So How has our new year been? Pretty chill actually. I love it that way. It's such a nice thing after such a busy time of the year. Really I feel like there is something I keep forgetting to blog about, but there really isn't. So I figured I'd show you what we have been up to.......(there are a bunch of pics)

This is our neighbor Elijah, who is at our house asking to play at least once a day. It's cute and obnoxious all at the same time. He's seven and his mom is doing the single mom thing, so she's NEVER home. I feel so bad for him. I've never met his mom, so it's weird having him in my house hanging out. I know that sounds silly, but I think his mom should know who I am before I have her kid inside my house a lot. So he always asks to play outside, but if Ollie is awake I don't want him out there. Gabe is two, I'm not sending her outside to play without me. SOOOO, he gets told no a lot. I've been meaning to introduce myself to his mom, so that he can play more inside with us, cause he's a good kid starving for attention. She's only home in the evenings, and it's the hardest time for me to try to meet her. It's also hard for me, cause I think if I did invite him in, I wouldn't be able to get rid of him either. Then I would feel like I was watching this kid every day. It's a weird situation. However, when we do get to play with him, Gabe loves it, cause he runs and jumps, and plays anything she wants to. He's really good with her, and he loves Greta.


Had to throw in some recent bath pics


I am a sucker for the dollar bins in Target. I got Gabe some foam swords to take home to play with Daddy one night. She came in the door yelling, "Un dward Daddy!" They've been a hit ever since. (She loves the Mickey Mouse Three Musketeers Movie.)

Ollie and I just watch the craziness



Introducing Dr. Silly Goose. Yeah I know, but that's the name she wanted. (It's my knickname for her-I call her Goose) We play Doctor a lot. She loves it. Another time she named herself Dr. Person. Ha! Gotta love it.

I make one helpful Nurse


Don't you hate busy waiting rooms? ;)

Ollie is attempting to teach himself to roll over. He's actually done it twice onto his tummy.

And there would be something wrong if we weren't Geocaching. So Adam and his friend Brad took Gabe and Owen out caching on Saturday. They had a blast.
