happy New Year

Well, it has been two months since i last signed on. I guess this hasn't been a priority lately. Just too busy with everyday life I suppose. So much has happened in two months! Big event....Chloe turned one the day before Thanksgiving. We celebrated her birthday after our Thanksgiving dinner at our house. She loved her cake. I took her on her birthday to Sears for pictures with the baby cake and boy was she loving that and i got some really great pictures. After that the next three weeks were super busy, at work especially. There is so much I like to do with the my class before Christmas, it was hard to squeeze in all the fun but we managed to do so and had a great Christmas party to end the year. I have enjoyed every minute of the break and feel refreshed (definitely got to catch up on some much needed sleep) and ready to get back in to routine next week. Since school got out Chloe learned how to walk. She had been taking a few steps here and there but still preferred to crawl up until just before Christmas, now she is walking everywhere and into even more. She is so funny with the faces she makes. She has her "OHH" face with her mouth opened real big in the shape of an 'o' and she makes this other face where she squints her eyes and nose at you. The boys have enjoyed playing with their Christmas presents and making forts. They made one under the top bunk and both slept in Preston's bed in the fort the other night! They have their brotherly moments but for the most part they always have fun playing with each other.
