We are so Proud of our Mome!!!!!


Well today our Mome walked, and sometime jogged, in her first 5K Run/Walk. Daddy got us up early and got us ready to go cheer for our Mome. Daddy had gotten a surprise for Mome earlier in the week and JDC, Daddy, and I wore them to show Mome how proud we are of her. It was so cold this morning that I needed my big Pink coat to keep warm. We wrapped JDC up in a blanket to keep him warm but I think he was cold anyway. Aunt EJW took some pictures of us and we wanted to share with you how proud we are of our Mome and her first race.

Sorry you couldn't see JDC's shirt but he was FAN 3!!

Some of you might wonder why I spelled Mome the way I did. This is the way I spelled it the first time I wrote her name all by myself.

We went to see the Wizard!!!!


A couple of weeks ago, RDC and I took MWC to see The Wizard of Oz on stage. SHE LOVED IT!! She was able to sit VERY close to the stage with some good friends while RDC and I sat in the balcony. We could see them down below so were able to see her until it got too dark. But during intermission they told us the girls were standing in front of their seats and not really sitting in them, so we moved down to watch the rest with her. (At first she did not want us sitting with her. She wanted to be a big girl and sit with her friend by herself. :) ) But by the end she was sitting in my lap snuggling--so I think she ended up not minding!! :) But it was so fun being there with her watching her first play on stage. She loves that sort of thing, so I am sure we will be attending more plays.

Makes the hard days so worth it...

Christmas continued....


Sorry for the delay---I did not feel very well last week so blogging was put on the back burner. But now we are onto a new and VERY busy week!! :)

Of course another tradition around Christmas is to go and see Santa and tell him what the kids wanted for Christmas. Well, Santa did not get a whole lot of time with JDC as he starting crying the SECOND RDC put him down in his lap. The tears flowed and he continually told us he was "finished." :) Luckily MWC did manage to tell him a few things she would like to have.














Oh well--maybe next year!! :)

We celebrate Christmas with Bebe, Aunt EJW, KayKay and WLG the Wednesday before at KayKay and WLG's house. We grilled out steak and ate "happy birthday, Jesus" cake. It was all soooo good!! :)


Christmas morning was GREAT!! We actually had to wake the kids up about 8:30 so we could start our day. I thought this would start our years of VERY early mornings, but not! :) The kids seemed to love their gifts. However, by the end of the day, MWC was playing with JDC's toys and he was playing with old ones!! :) But we had a relaxing day hanging out at home. Granny, Pop, BeBe and Aunt EJW were able to come over and have brunch and watch the kids play with their toys. Then for supper we went and celebrated and ate supper at Pop and Granny's.

Christmas at our house....




Yes, Santa was VERY good to us this Christmas!! :) But before we get to Christmas morning, let me back track through ALL our Christmas festivities!! December was busy for us--we tried to get as much done as we could!! :)

We did make a trip to see the City of Lights and had a great time. It was a little busy, but we enjoyed being there with EJW and BeBe. Having a very active 21 month old proved difficult in getting some good pictures, but we made do!! :) So lots of pictures are of sweet MWC saying, "See, I am smiling and being still for the picture." And so of course we had to take her picture alone some--but she WAS smiling so sweetly and we could not pass up those good opportunities!! :)















Finally a good one! :)



















Our fabulous visit with Santa and celebrating Christmas with the families to come, but I am going to take advantage of one more day of napping before my sweet RDC has to go back to work!! :)
