Wow....I'm back
It's been a whole heck of a long time since I last updated. Yes, we are alive....just barely. I feel like I am just starting to get into the swing of things with my full time mom position and part-time nurse position. It's a juggling act but we are all surviving. Brian has done amazing. He manages the two munchkins, my ups and downs, and his search for "what he wants to be when he grows up" sort of thing. Blogging has been at the bottom of my list, but as of late my conscience is getting to me since this blog is our family's only documentation of what we do day to day. I would like my kids some day to know that they did have a young mommy and daddy, we did play and we had fun. So there you go.....memories.
Christmas Recap!
Here is Jack with White Trash Santa. I think he had a total of 5 teeth and had major halitosis. Emmi wouldn't get within 10 feet of him. Who could blame her. This picture cost me 15 dollars. What a joke. I didn't have my camera, but my mom insisted we get a picture of Jack with Santa. Thanks for this memory Mom!
Birkeland family christmas party we did the nativity with all the cousins. Wow was it hilarious! First of all Emmi was mad the whole time because she didn't want to be a shepherd, and refused to keep her hat on. Stubborn little child!
Who is this kid??? The million dollar question. We don't really know. There is no recollection of either of us, but we can say he is cute. Christmas for Jack was all about the ribbon and his trucks.
Here is a glimpse of the power struggle between the two munchkins. Emmi ripping the gift out of Jack's hands.....Jack trying to hold his ground..... Emmi wins! Jack cries! What a wonderful World!
Emmi asked Santa for 2 things. For months she never strayed from her request. It was never added upon either. Lucky us! A pink jump rope, and a purple "skateboard". Well, Santa pulled through on the jump rope. She did get a letter from Santa saying that he was all out of purple paint for her "skateboard" so he had to go with red. So, he did manage to give her a red scooter, which she calls a skateboard.
My all time favorite gift this year was the button bracelet that Emmi surprised me with. She made it all by herself and then Papa Ric made it into a bracelet. She was so proud of herself when she gave it to me. It is a gift I will remember forever!
