Update

We found out this week that Scott will be getting off for Christmas so we are in the porcess of trying to get tickets to go home! We are very excited since we thought there was no chance we'd be seeing family over the holidays. Hopefully we'll travel on Dec 24. Scott will stay until Jan4 and the kids and I another 2wks. My shopping list has already begun...door mat, Cheeze-its, brown sugar, vanilla, and it continues to get longer every day.

We got our tree up. There is only one place in this city of 3.5million people to buy a real tree and the pickins are slim. And of course they didn't have tree stands, but the one Scott and Andrew built is much more dog and baby proof! I'll take pics of the finished project this wkend plus some of the house so that people can finally see what our apartment looks like. Adeline had fun putting ornaments on and especially loved her Pooh ornament. Her vocabulary continues to grow each day, as well as her personality! She can now sing the "Sweet Adeline" song.

Darton is army crawling at 7 1/2mths! We've started sign lanuage with him and he pays attention, so maybe we'll see his first sign in the next month or so.

He now gets the whole cookie to eat instead of peices...he was SO excited! He thinks that he needs to eat what we are eating instead of his baby food.
