Keeping Him Entertained!

How do you entertain a 3 year old when school is closed for the holidays and the weather is nasty and Mommy is 9 months pregnant with twins?? Convince 6ft 3in tall Daddy to play in the tent in the middle of the living room!

Ready to PART-TAY!!

We had a low-key NYE due to the fact that the babies could make their appearance at any time. Even though Jack didn't stay up to watch the ball drop, we made sure he partook in the festivities, complete with a party hat and glasses.Jack looks like he's ready to party but he didn't actually reach for the good stuff :)

What Did You Ask Santa For?

Jack asked Santa for a croquet set for Christmas and was stoked when he saw it under the tree on Christmas morning. For some reason he has been talking about playing croquet for months so the excitement was killing him. Unfortunately the ground was wet for days after Christmas so Jack wasn't able to break out the new set until yesterday afternoon. As soon as he got home from school Jack and Daddy headed out to the front yard for a friendly (and cold) game.

A-a-a-l-v-i-n!!!!

Jack recently became obsessed with Alvin and the Chipmunks. It all started a few weeks ago when Mommy thought she was being nice by "dvr'ing" the movie for Jack. It, however, came back to bite her in the you-know-what because Jack insisted on watching the movie EVERY day for 3 weeks straight. He became especially obsessed with the farting scene and required anyone in watching distance to focus on the television when the scene approached. Ahh, boys!!

Daddy has been wanting to take Jack to the movie theater for some time so when we realized that "Alvin and the Chipmunks-The Squekquel" opened in the theaters at Christmas we decided to sacrifice our sanity and take him. Nana and Papa came along for the experience and to say that Jack was excited would be a gross understatement. He jumped up and down at the posters outside and when we walked in the theater, we were greeted by the Chipmunks themselves!!!We really didn't know how well Jack would behave at the movie but he was instantly mesmerized. When the movie started the 20th Century Fox logo appeared on the screen. Jack became so excited that he yelled, "The 2 and the 0! YES!! Just like my movie at home!!" It was so cute. From that moment on he stared at the screen in awe and didn't move a muscle :)

Twins Update

Allison here--well I made it through Christmas! I had serious doubts that the boys would hold off long enough for me to enjoy Christmas with my family but they did. In fact, I will be 37 weeks on Tuesday and the babies seem to be incubating quite well. So well that they each weigh 6 pounds as of last week! I am seriously carrying around 12+ pounds of baby plus 2 sacks and 2 placentas!!! Uncomfortable, yes, but I am so grateful that the boys are big, healthy and strong. I really have no idea when they will make their grand entrance but I am scheduled for a c-section on January 6th if they don't come before then. In the meantime I am trying to take it easy, rest as much as possible, and enjoy the final moments we have as a family of 3!

One Final Christmas

Grandma Gail and her fiance Steve joined us for Christmas dinner and Jack was so happy to see them. Steve is recovering from quintuple bypass surgery (did you even know they could do that??!!) but Jack refused to go easy on him. Gentle has a different meaning to 3 year old boys!Jack loves them :)
They gave Jack a tool bench with lots of very loud tools like a drill and screwdriver. Of course no tool set would be complete without goggles!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was so fun in our house and Jack was beyond excited. He woke up at 6am and came running into our room saying, "I think Santa came! I think Santa came!" We managed to get him back in bed and he even went back to sleep until 7:15 at which time he came back in our room and told us again that he thought Santa had come and that he drank the chocolate milk!

Jack then ran to the office/library/2nd guest room to wake Aunt Tricia and Uncle Dwayne. Needless to say, Uncle Dwayne was none too excited about the early time!As we headed downstairs and into the living room, Jack could hardly contain his excitement!
He immediately ran to check out his loot from Santa and was quite happy to see the croquet set he asked for. Too bad the ground is so freaking wet that we haven't been able to try it out yet!
Jack got Buzz and Woody dolls that talk and each says 50 sayings. Jack is in love :)
Jack also got Gator Golf which he insisted on playing as soon as we finished opening presents.

Merry Christmas Eve

Not knowing when Will and Henry will grace us with their presence, we decided to spend Christmas here this year and it was so nice to be home and not traveling. Here is our family picture in front of the tree before church on Christmas Eve. Jack was singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" complete with hand gestures he learned at school.Nana and Papa were here too!
After church Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner and presents!
