Well, Tommy is out of town on a business trip this week. This usually means that in the evenings, I spend too much time watching TV or surfing the internet. Tonight, I am doing the latter. I have been reading through some old posts on my blog, and I came across this one: "Visit with Santa" from 2 years ago. That year, Dillon got a bike from Santa, and just the other day he mentioned how Santa didn't get him those tennis rackets he asked for. That kids memory is almost scary sometimes. Hopefully, I won't scar him for life with all his memories. ;)

It's been a long time!

I know that it has been a while since my last post. I have a couple excuses: 1) I've been pregnant with baby #4 and the morning sickness is just now getting better, and 2) my camera broke, so we have been using Tommy's phone for pictures. (I still haven't had him upload those to my computer, but I'll do that soon.) I got a new camera for my birthday/Christmas, so now I can't use that as an excuse. However, I am still pregnant. :P

Everything has been going pretty well around here. After a couple years of prolonging it, we got a video gaming system that was made in this century. Santa brought Dillon a Wii. It seems to be pretty interactive and gets you up and moving, so it could have been worse. Even on a game that is more sedentary, Dillon manages to get a work-out. Check out his feet while playing a racing game:

The big kids enjoying the Wii and toning their driving skills at the same time.

All the kids are getting big, but since Amelia is the youngest, she seems to change the most. Lately she has been wanting to be just like her older siblings. She has not wanted to sit in her booster seat at the kitchen table for the past week, and tonight, she wanted a regular cup instead of a sippy cup. Then, at bedtime she had another milestone. We have always kept a bed in our babies' rooms. We knew it was time to switch them from the crib to the bed when they would ask to sleep in the bed. Tonight, Amelia asked to sleep in the bed. After making her bed a little more baby friendly, she slept in it! She only called for me 2 times, and even then I didn't need to be in there long. She was asleep within 20 minutes of putting her in bed. Pretty good for the first night, but we'll see how nap time goes. :) Here's a picture of my baby wanting to be a big girl:

Good thing, we are having another baby because my current one is growing up way too fast for me! Well, hopefully it won't be so long until my next post.

Happy New Year!!!
