Lots more to come...

No need to fix the broken camera! Santa brought us a Nikon D3100! I've taken about 400 pictures so far, so I've got some sorting (and learning) to do. Until then, I'll leave you with this...

Poor thing has been sick this past week. This picture tells Andrew's story very well: tears, snot, and slobber, all in one picture. :( However, he kept his Christmas spirit and remained a trooper!

Merry Christmas!

A Few More Pics:)

Our friend, Lisa Rappa, has started a photography business and takes some beautiful pictures! We went to the Roswell Mill and Barrington Hall last Saturday, and I am absolutely in love with how the pictures turned out! If you're in the market for a photography for your family, Lisa is great!

Andrew and I have had so much fun the past few days! Because I had a few vacation days left at work, I took Thursday and Friday off. We've done lots of fun stuff: ate lunch together, went to Monkey Joe's, played at Alex and Anthony's house, read tons of books, danced a lot, and even got in a little Christmas shopping!

Ok, here's my update on how much Andrew has grown. He's really starting to become a little boy! He can now say lots of things, like...

• ball
• juice
• Mama
• Daddy
• Uh-oh
• blanket (more like "bankie")
• starfish (more like toteesh")
• Santa (Comes out "Tantas". He hates the actual Santa but loves to point out all the Santas around the house and at stores.)
• diaper
• cracker
• cheese
• please
• shoes
• boots (pronounced "booty")
• water
• two
• bee
• pretty
• yes
• no
• blue
• purple
• car
• makes all the animals sounds
• loves to count (sounds like "ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu"... that's the best way I can describe it!)
• lots of other things I just can't think of right now:)

He gives love, hugs, and kisses all day long. Some we ask for, and some are just given when he feels like it. Sweetest thing in the whole world!

Our camera is still broken, so I've been trying to take some pictures on my phone. The quality isn't great, but it's all I've got for now...

Winding down after a fun morning, watching Dinosaur Train.

All bundled up!

Climbs the ladder all by himself!

And slides down like a big boy!

Excuses, Excuses

Hello fellow bloggers! I've gotten a little grief for my lack of blogging lately. I wanted to let you all know that our camera is currently broken (thanks to our precious little man, Andrew), but hopefully we'll have it up and running before Christmas. Until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Playing in the leaves

La La La...That's Elmo's World!

Andrew let us put the Elmo costume on him...yipee!!!! We were soooo proud of him! We didn't get any smiles b/c he still feels a little under the weather and he had a red poof on his body, but I think he had fun!

We lucked out and found the Elmo shoes at WalMart today. We thought that if we couldn't get him to wear the hat, then the shoes would show what the costume was supposed to be.

Proud Mommy and Daddy!

Bulldog (with his mommy Kelly - poor Keegan is sick), Elmo, Firefighter Alex, and Dalmatian Anthony...cute!

Little Lamb Taylor, Elmo, Piggy Annie, and Tyler

Dava as Woody...so cool!

Trick or Treat!

Elmo and the Cat in the Hat (knows a lot about that!)

Well, at least Mommy was happy:)

Halloween Party

These pictures are from our Halloween party at the Battaglia's the night before Halloween. We had a great time visiting with all our friends (sans Becks - we missed you, Becks!), eating LOTS of food, and seeing all the cuties in their costumes. Yet again, I didn't get any pics of the other kiddos this night. It was a little wild!

Andrew has been to the doctor twice this week. The first visit diagnosed him with mild bronchitis, croup, a low grade fever, and a sore throat. 3 days of Prednisone later...not any better. Worse really...the cough was worse and the snot was never-ending. So Andrew's MiMi and Mac took him back to the doctor, and we found out he had an ear infection. A few doses of antibiotics made this boy much better! He was ready to party!

Allison loaned us Jack's old Elmo costume from a few years ago, but Andrew would have NONE of that. He hated it! (I say hated in past tense. See next post!) So, we tried a last minute cowboy costume with a plaid shirt and guns in holsters, but we couldn't pull it off. Luckily, Adrienne let us borrow Alex's old frog costume. Andrew actually let us put it on him, and it was perfect!! Thanks, Adrienne!

My boy

Feeling much better

Poor Daddy had a headache all night:(.

Pumpkin Carving

Ok, so our pumpkin doesn't have a face yet, but we'll get there. :)
