MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well, we had a lovely Christmas except one thing. The bounce house that Santa got for Ileigh didn't work when Santa's elves tried to put it up. I was SOO looking forward to her excitement seeing it on Christmas morning. =( The blower was broken. So that sucked. Austin got a skate ramp and a basketball hoop. Probably his favorite gift is this dumb ol video game chair that has speakers in the head of it. At least it was only 32 dollars. Andy and I didn't exchange gifts because of our spending all we have on the house addition thing. Funny how Christmas changes as you age. It's just all about the kids now. And I don't even mind about not getting anything.

Avery is doing great! She laughs and loves to eat bread. lol. A LOT! She is like a starving bird when you feed her pieces of it. And she hates baby food. Kind of hard to give her the Miralax with no bottles or baby food but the pooping hasn't been too bad lately. She gave me a HUGE present at midnight the other night while I was feeding her. Merry Christmas Mama!

Ileigh is so sweet. She always tells me how pretty I am when I dress up or put any kind of make up on. She also notices when I wear fancy underwear. Go figure! She is a girly girl but still loves to rough house with Austin and play with legos. She loves all her toys and dolls and especially miniatures. She mainly gets on our nerves when Austin is tormenting her.

Austin is doing a hundred times better in school than he was a few months ago. He seems to be trying a lot harder and got mostly A's. He just really really hates reading. That could be a problem. I have no idea how we are going to send him to College though. bummer.

The house is coming along slowly. Andy is working on it all by himself because his friends and family have all deserted us when we need them. Well, I can't blame them. Who wants to roof and drywall? We now have some of the front done and most of the roofing. Andy has been insulating and drywalling now. Oh maybe by Ileigh's birthday we will be done. Maybe.

ta ta for now.
