Burklee-Starts preschool in Jan. but he only has a spot until May. We'll have to make other arrangements for a year until he starts Kindergarten, but he's super excited. His elf "Jingle" came and is staying with us until Christmas. So far, Jingle has been very silly. He brought Burklee a small Christmas tree for his room, when zip-lining from the dining room to the living room, took a bubble bath (in marshmallows), wrote burklee a "good boy" letter and gave him a "good boy" snack, and today brought Burklee "magic seeds" that will grow into something special!
Bartelbe-Doesn't really care about Jingle...actually tried hitting him yesterday. He's starting to run and climb..especailly on the kitchen table. His new favorite words are "nininininini" (hence the title) which means exactly what it sounds like "night night", mama, dada, sissy (for bridget), bababa (bubba "burklee" and bottle)-but he's usually pointing at which one he's talking about. He fell off gma porch steps and chipped his tooth on the sidewalk, went to the dentist and had x-rays, everything was fine, fell into the wall walking out of the dentist.
Bridget-Finally sleeping almost all night. She only wakes up once to eat..and the last couple days, I've had to wake her up. She's the complete opposite of Bart who still wakes up twice a night. She smiles everytime I look at her, laughs at the boys constantly, and drools....everywhere, all the time!
Allan and I have decided to have a big 5 year anniversary party. The plan (as of now), is dinner for immediate family, and then a big open bar dance afterwards. We've got the "venue" booked (the commercial building at the fair grounds), the times set, invite list made, colors picked out, decorations and food decided on, now just clothes, a photographer, and paying for everything!
Some pictures...
