Fast forward

Now we are already into February and we have had a strange couple of months. My grandmother was sick for ten weeks and in the intensive care unit in Winston-Salem, so we were spending lots of time away from home. She passed away two weeks ago. She was 86 and lived a wonderful life so that is our comfort. We are sad she is gone.

On another note, I have changed jobs and am working about 25 hours a week at Nordstrom in the Fashion Jewelry department which is right up my alley. It is fun for me to get out more and make a bit of money for our little family.

We had a great birthday party for Henry yesterday. It is hard to believe a year has gone by and on the other hand - wow - what a year of change it has been. It was fun to celebrate Henry with our friends and family. We have never had that many kids in our house before! I even made him his own cake and a cake for the crowd! Happy Birthday Henry!!

Christmas past

Well Christmas was a lot of fun - and a complete whirlwind at the same time. We managed to visit all of our immediate families in North Carolina and even snuck Henry into the Cardiac Care unit to see my grandmother Christmas Day. Henry now has more toys and clothes than we can possibly fit in our house.

Now it is on to 2006 - let there be peace on earth and goodwill among all people!

On the move

The major news to report at our house is that Henry has learned to crawl or scoot. Whatever you call it he is on the move. We are getting ready for Christmas with almost all of the shopping done. We will be spending the holidays around our fair state from Alamance county to Forsyth and back again. We even attempted a Christmas photo session at home with mixed results. It will be Henry's first and Santa is sure to bring some special treats! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Halloween

Alex and Henry dressed up for Halloween. Maybe Henry will get some candy next year instead of a Cabo Chicken sub - only $2.99. They were quite a pair! Buzz and Quizno's Bob!

POUS

We went to the State Fair last week. Saw some crafts, farm animals, pumpkins of unusual size - all in all a great time. It was so much fun our little pumpkin crashed but woke up for the fireworks.
