What I got for Christmas

Thad got his wishes for Christmas. He got his playkitchen (I will have to post some pics later) and he got a new doctor kit! Thanks Auntie Heather! He LOVES to play doctor. Here is a pic of him "playing doc" with his bear he got from Dr. Mark at Overlake...the kid, I swear is known there! It seems he is destined to be affiliated with a hospital in some way; wonder if he will be the cook there...??


David got me the ipod I wanted. I've wanted to get rid of those CDs in the car for a long time and now I can finally play my music and Thad's and not have to fumble with CDs. Funny how technology changes!



Jenny, I thought I was the ONLY one that gets excited about experation dates. My birthday, Thad's birthday and Christmas! I see dates on the milk all the time and I am reminded of some special day, but this is the first time I have ever taken pics of them...LOL!

White Christmas

HUGE amounts of snow! We really did get our "white Christmas"! This year we did not lose power, but were prepared this time. Thad says, "We have flashlights, a generator, a fire...", he cracks me up!

So funny

Thad cracks me up. He makes (and I mean that) me take my vitamin every morning and today was even funnier. I had out two chewable supplements earlier in the day and he saw one still on the counter at dinner. He told me to take it and handed it to me, but I told him I would after dinner. Well, dinner was over and I was wrapping some gifts in the living room when he came up to me with the tablet in hand and said, "here mommy, take this!". He handed it to me and then returned with the milk from the fridge and asked, "here, you need milk?". It was the cutest thing! He even returned the milk to the fridge all by himself. He is really growing up. I just love him!

Thad's First Concert-Dan Zanes

Thad will not stop talking about his first concert we went to on Sunday the 7th at the Moore Theater. We saw Dan Zanes for his "House Party" Concert. It was really memorable! What a great time we had! It's crazy that David and I actually had such fun, but we really have gotten into Thad's music. I find myself singing it throughout the day, it's pretty funny.
At the end of the concert Thad even went up to Dan Zanes and his band and got to shake hands with them! It was so exciting. Best of all, they really liked Thad's hair all spiked up like Dan's!

Thaddeaus would like to introduce...

Our new pet hamster, Freddy.

I was at the Factoria Mall today with Thad for the story time and craft the YMCA puts on. After running into Aunt Heidi and Blake (an unexpected fun little visit) and then going to Kid Quest, we decided to go to Petco and look around. For some reason I felt it was time to let Thad in on the joy of having a pet. So here we are, with our cute little furry friend, Freddy. He is a dwarf hamster so he is really small, and SO cute. For now he has to be left alone quite a bit because he needs to adapt to his new environment, but soon he will be part of the family!
