Just an update

I don't have much to post lately. Seems like everything has finally slowed down after the holidays. We are all doing great though.

Jake just bought a seasons pass to Snoqualmie and is trying to get in time twice a week (once at night during the week and one day on the weekend) to get up there. He is generally a snow boarder, but tried out skiing last week with our friend Justin and is now hooked. Great... just what we needed... another sport! (Can you just feel the sarcasm?)

Adrian is still growing like a weed and is almost too heavy to carry in his car seat (which he is almost to big for anyway). I think he is working on teeth as well. He's been waking up a lot at night sadly, and not napping well during the day either. Unfortunately for me, that means I'm getting very little sleep at night too and I think both kids have some pact to have one of them awake at all times during the day so I don't get to take a nap to help. So sad for me! Eventually, I'll crack and cry over absolutely nothing (which is what I do when I'm ridiculously tired), at which time Jake will hopefully send me to bed early so I can sleep.

Allie is using complete sentences and can (most of the time on request) count to ten. 1 and 7 seem to be her problem numbers, but if you get her past those, she does great! She also heard me say to Adrian (for dropping his toy) Uh-oh, spaghettio!... not sure where I got that, but she got such a kick out of it she hasn't stopped saying it all day. She also constantly says "Oh ya mama!" with her hand in the thumbs up position which she learned from Aunt Laura (or Yallo as she wants to be called). I think we do it about 50 times a day and surprisingly enough, it never gets tired (at least so far).

Jake's parents will hopefully be coming this weekend (Friday and Saturday) so we can do our Christmas with them. We missed them this year due to the snow which made travel virtually impossible.

That's about it for now!
