Random Tidbits

Hello Friends!
We are busy getting ready for Christmas, as I'm sure you are too! With the excitement of Halloween decorations, we have been anticipating experiencing Christmas this year, now that the boys are a little more aware of all that is going on. We have a whole new list of words to learn! (They still LOVE saying calabasa, by the way and get very excited anytime they see one. Notice in the picture of Nicolas right below this text, he is actually pointing to the pumpkin on the counter.)

Blakey LOVES books, especially ones about transportation. He fell asleep mid- story. I have to note that Blakey is very into learning his letters. He walks around the house finding "Bs, Cs, and Ds. O seems to be his new favorite. I really have to credit Sesame Street for this. Being a first grade teacher makes all of this very exciting but believe it or not (you probably won't!), I had nothing to do with this new adventure of letter discovery!










Nicolas loves to help me cook. I think we were making pancakes in this picture. "Help" might actually be the wrong word, but it's all par for the course when it comes to toddlers, right?

A neighbor gave us this Elmo chair and Nicolas has pretty much claimed it as his. Blakey generally on sits on it when Nicolas is not around.

My dad and stepmom were visiting for Thanksgiving and it was so great to have the extra set of hands. We took our first walk around the neighborhood scouting out Christmas lights.

I don't know what it is, but the boys have this obsession with putting on shoes. It could be their shoes, my shoes, Jeff's shoes, etc. Blakey loves my Uggs and could actually walk quite well in them.

Hope you are able to enjoy this time of year. We are looking forward to a visit with Santa in the coming weeks. I keep telling the boys, "santa claus is coming to town........."

Hugs,

Rebeca
