January 10/11, 2011 Snow

The snow storm. I wish we would have been able to play in it, but by the time Makenna and I got outside, it was hard. She still enjoyed being outside for a few minutes. When Robert got home, we had to get a couple of pics of Eli. I believe this is the third snow here, but the first one we were able to get him in pics! Hope everyone is staying warm! Enjoy!

Makenna 2nd Birthday

We had Makenna's 2nd birthday party this weekend. Just family this year. It was nice to see everyone again. The pizza was late (by one hour) but other than that - it was great. She had a great time opening her gifts and did a good job at giving everyone hugs, kisses and thank yous! We then decided to head to the aquarium on Sunday. The kids are free and Robert and I got annual passes this summer. It was pretty slow, so we got to see almost everything. I think there may have been one section we didn't go in. Makenna actually touched the sea animals that could be touched this time. All in all a good weekend!

Christmas

It takes some time loading pictures on this site and we've all seen how often I can get on here and update! So, here is a slideshow from our photo account (http://garhart.shutterfly.com/). I'll try to post links here when I upload more pics!

Can This Be Right?!?

My little girl is 1 year 11 months 3 weeks and counting? I'm not sure what has happened to the past (almost) 2 years, but they have FLOWN by! I know they say that they have the terrible two's - I'm wondering if we didn't hit that a little early because Makenna has been SO much fun the past couple of weeks. We are now completing more than 3 word sentences. She has the best laugh/smile. She refers to herself as "she" - it is quite humorous. "She want that." The other night she had her jammies on and went to put on a shirt she received for Christmas - over her jammies - and then proceeds to tell us "the shirt is too tight." How in the world did she know that? And of course it is too tight, you don't wear it over your jammies!

Mr. Man is still growing. He is getting his little legs up underneath him, so I hope that doesn't mean he will b crawling soon. Just stay a baby a little longer. He's not been a huge fan of cereal, but we need to become more consistent in giving it to him. Since I have been off the past week and a half I have tried to get him to sleep longer at night in between feedings. We now go 6 hours. Woo hoo! Baby steps!

Speaking of sleeping - I need to get ready for bed before little man gets me up. I'll post Christmas pics soon! We have some good ones of the cousins!

Good Friends, Family and Santa

We've had a busy week or so. Last Tuesday we headed up to Greenville. I had a meeting Wed. morning and so the whole family went up. We had dinner with Chad, Allison and their new little one Rigby. Ruth came by to visit for a while. We had a good time catching up. Miss you guys! Saturday we went to get pictures with Santa. Not professional this year, just able to shoot with our own camera. Kind of nice being that little miss wouldn't sit in his lap! And then Sunday it was off to my uncles for our Christmas lunch. Makenna is quite bossy. She led myself, mom, Nanny, and Alli into the dining room so that we could dance. After presents she took my cousins Juliet and Laine and made them go sit on the couch in the other room. Robert got a great picture of the three of them. Thankfully I am off (except one day next week) until the new year. I am excited about spending time with my babies! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
