so i realize it has been a long time but what can i say.....nothing really. i guess it's that good ol excuse of once you get behind it's soo hard to catch up? does that work? so i guess you will have to miss the pics from when we came in for thanksgiving and deuces bday and lets not forget about the tailgating as well. i think kelly was able to get a few of them up at least. anyway, not much has changed since we last saw everyone. dave is still enjoying his job in combat camera and is taking onlines courses to get his personal training certification. i am still working at american eagle and let me tell you that i can't wait for the holidays to be over just for that reason. i am also back in school and should be teaching by next school year. and as for deuce....where do i start? i guess with no he still isn't walking yet :( he walks from toy to toy but won't just get up and walk on his own. other than that he is all over the place and is really enjoying playing with nana and all his new toys from christmas and birthday. yes, that's right i said nana! she got here on the 18th and deuce has been in heaven ever since (i think nana has too). they play soo hard all day and it is soo cute! she always thinks of great new ways to make him laugh. now, as for christmas....this is my first one away from family so i tried to do as much the same as i could. we went to christmas eve childrens mass and then went christmas light looking around the neighborhood and then the madness came........
we made christmas cookies on christmas eve (kinda, they were obviously from a box)
