What's New?

What new with Nick?

Well since Sept Nick you've had a birthday. You turned the big 3!! Your bday was a Cars theme. We had lots of cars around the house and mom made you your own special car cake. You loved it and continued to crash cars into it all day. When it came time to eat it, you didn't care much about it and went back to playing. Grandma rented you a HUGE blow up slide for you and all your family and friends. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a BLAST! You got tons of toys, mostly cars and trucks, your favorite. So that was November, in December of course we had CHRISTMAS! It was a great, great, one. This was your first Christmas that you really "got it" and really enjoyed all of the festivities. Your big present from Santa was a train table. The other big thing that happened is your Great Aunt Karen and Great Uncle Jim from Florida came to visit you, they loved to see you guys enjoy Christmas. The big news now is that you are getting ready to start preschool. You are going to go to Language Academy Elementary and going to the French program. You will be learning French, this is something your dad has dreamed of you doing since you were born. We are all very excited for you to start preschool, this is a big step in your life and I am sure I'll cry. To get ready for preschool we had to teach to you pull up and down your pants and wipe your own bottom. And....your doing it! :O) Your first day will be Valentine's Day.

What New with Claire?
Since September you have had a birthday! You turned 1 and you aren't going to believe it you started walking ON YOUR FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! I was trying to get a picture of you sitting next to your friend Cambpell. You didn't want to sit down you wanted to be with me so you got up and walked to me and you have been walking and now running ever since. It was a seriously exciting moment, everyone at the party was gathered around and they call cheered!! You also had your first real Christmas. You really loved the tree and even pulled it over on top of you once! You were ok though thank goodness. Your big gift from Santa was a cradle for your baby and a stroller. You love your babies! Your favorite right now is your Glow worm that your Grandma and Grandpa gave you. You sleep with it every night. You are now sleeping in your own room and go to bed like a big girl without any screaming or crying! We are so proud!

Mommy and Daddy love you both tons and tons!!
