My new life: A month

It's amazing how much can happen in a month. It's amazing how much can happen in a minute. But since it's been a month in which I haven't blogged, that's the one I'm going to recap. I've taken pictures of things thinking...I need to take a before and after picture so I can blog about it. And I have, but have failed to put them up here, let alone write about the photographs.

I'm not sure if I should attempt to start where I left off and work my way to now, try to just touch on everything right here, right now (true ADD style), or just do...well...whatever happens, happens.

I think we'll go with that one...whatever....I'll try to go in "order", but in the end....whatever....

It's been more than 24hours since I wrote the above, so I am yet going with...whatever happens happens.

This is what so much of my time has been taken up with since Sept. I started watching my friends' boys, Matteo (2 y/o) and Marco (4 y/o). I have Matteo Tues and Thurs and Maro on Thurs. 3 little boys is constant activity and "Nique....Someone did something..." The best part is they are growing up together as close cousins would. Joseph called Matteo "Teo" and Marco "Garco".

Every Friday, Joseph goes to "school" at our church. He has lots of fun with Colin and Hillary (a redhead).

I go here

from 10:30-2, in the Children's room. It's fun. I love the other moms I get to meet and working with books again! I've recently been asked if I could do the ordering of new AV stuff for the children's room...which is Kids CDs, DVDs and audiobooks. So cool!

This one is growing and changing and learning new words like CRAZY!!! Here he is eating his FAVORITE snack..."So, this fig walked into a bar..." Yup, it's a "cereal bar" with fig in it.

First time eating spaghetti and yes, he did have some raw first!

Oreo's still our first baby, and he never lets us forget it! Joseph's first chore is to feed Oreo breakfast and dinner. Oreo doesn't like it when Joseph sleeps late.

Life is good in the house for Oreo, except..

He needs to loose some weight. This picture makes him look SOO huge, but it's just the angle.

I think I may have blogged about this day/week...it can't get any worse, right?

This was the cinnamon/sugar and chili powder all over the floor (and in the clean laundry basket) Oh boy....

Moving on...

The Shoemakers came to visit in October! We had a blast! Joseph was happy to have Anastasia here and was VERY captivated by baby Zoe, who at the time was only about 2 months old.
