And I won't try to slow you down- But I've got to get there first or be buried

Lady P turned nine months on January 11th. It is hard to believe that this little lady has been on the outside more than the inside at this point (thanks to my "The Bump" weekly emails. So what of these last nine months:

*Lots of laundry- more than I would have ever anticipated but we've always managed. At least we have never ran out of undies

*Photo books galore- Easiest way to manage the many photos this proud mamma snaps

*A new appreciation for Netflix and Netflix streaming- worth every penny; do you know how many Thomas videos are out there

*Love for Logan's preschool teachers- I cannot believe how much the Bear learns daily; currently the students are learning to sing "Wonderful World." If that doesn't make you shed a tear, you have an iron soul.

These nine months have been the busiest of my life but I cannot be happier. Talks about the Diva's big birthday bash have been the works.

                                                              Someone loves her new boots

                                                        Did I mention that she is 9 months
Current PDid stats- 20 lbs; 28 inches (nice and plump)
                              Teeth- 4 (two on the bottom and two up top)

Future Scholars

This past Tuesday I was pleasantly surprised  to see art work for both Logan and Paige from this past Holiday season in their cubbies. Not to be a cold mommy, after looking over each piece I throw out the work. GASP. I DO take picture of each piece and include the picture in their yearly books.

We just really like 2011

No really- we do! I am tired of seeing so many negative post on FB about what a terrible year 2011 was. Are you telling me your whole year was terrible? Not one great thing happened in 2011? BLAH.
Our year was AMAZING. It was chalked fill with delightful tidbits. Such as:
*An amazing family trip (with Otto) to Vermont
*The addition of the beautiful Paige to our family
*A new car
*A rocking 3rd birthday party at Monkey Joe's
*A summer filled with sandy beaches and tans for everyone (except for {Paige)
*Paige's first family vacation (sans Otto)
*The COACH was born (GO MATH)
*One year completed on our thirty year mortgage
*Trick or treats with not one but THREE costume changes for the Bear
and...
*A weekend get away to the North Pole (AKA Santa's Village)
Good Bye 2011- you were a fantastic year.

Now enter 2012- and already we have a lot to look forward to:
*Our 5th anniversary
*The Cupcake's 1st birthday
*Otto's 5th birthday
*Finally completing our AFI project.
And who knows- maybe some surprises will come our way. Treat us well 2012- even though we always make the best of what's to come.
