Merry Christmas!!

Well this past week while I was taking a quick shower, I let Christopher feed himself some oatmeal to keep him busy while I got ready. I came out and he was waving his spoon around and just talking to Katherine. I looked over and he had the oatmeal bowl on his head and was not trying to move it or anything...he was very content with it staying right on his head like a hat. Stinker...time for bath after that!

Katherine had her Christmas party on Friday at school and had a great time. She had a substitute teacher that day and I felt sorry for him...partly because he seemed like he wasn't very assertive (which you need with 1st graders on a party day!) and just because the kids were having all sorts of fun snacks on their non-routine day. Overall it was a fun day and I'm glad she'll be home for a couple weeks. (Sorry the picture doesn't relate).
Matthew dressed up for Awanas last Sunday as a Wise Man for the Live Nativity week, but of course by the time we got to church, the outfit was completely off and on the floor of the car. I think I managed to get the hat back on. Ah well! Boys will be boys!!

This year we didn't quite pull it together for a family Christmas picture so we went outside today to snap a few of the kids. I think this one is probably the best one...I never realized how hard it is to take pictures of 3 kids and get them to look and smile at the camera, and stay positioned...and then remember to take the picture! Of course, I couldn't get Christopher to smile, but I was happy he at least was looking at the camera. You can read a lot into our kid's personalities by this picture I think...Katherine is the girly girl, Matt's the funny clown, and Christopher is the intellectual thinker/watcher.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Poor Guy...

On Saturday Christopher (our 2 yr. old) was outside playing in the backyard with our other kids and fell and hurt his leg. He cried on and off for most of the night and wouldn't walk or even stand on his leg but we didn't see any swelling, so we somewhat thought he just badly pulled a muscle/tendon or had a sprain. On Sunday afternoon, we decided to take him to the urgent care and they took X-rays and found that he has a spiral fracture on his tibia (i.e. - the larger bone in the leg), which means he has a broken leg. They put his leg in a splint and told us to contact an orthopedic surgeon this week. Today, I made an appointment early (and actually got in for this afternoon!) to see a pediatric orthopedist and the Dr. said that he has to be in long leg cast (goes from toe to uppermost part of thigh) for 4 1/2 weeks and then we'll come back and take more X-rays to determine if he'll need a short cast put on. If it's healed properly, then we can just remove the long ...

6 years...

So it's January 19th...our anniversary! I can't believe we've been married for six years. In some ways it seems like we've been married such a loooonngg time, but in other ways it feels like we're still dating. Nevertheless, the past 6 years have been great, even as I remember the challenges we've faced together. I think they've just made us stronger. I can honestly say that after 6 years, we have never had a fight where both of us were angry and yelling at each other...like the movies. Thank the Lord! There may have been times where we weren't just soo lovey dovey with each other, or may have said things that weren't nice, but for some reason we seem to get over it quickly and move on. I'm thankful for Daniel and how loving he is towards me and his consistency in showing love to me no matter what. After 6 years, 3 kids, 4 apartments, 1 house, 1 dog, and 3 cities later, I'm so blessed to have Daniel as my husband!
