Merry Christmas 2011

I have loved this time with my children. It has been great to relax and just be a mom.
My tween is showing more signs of turning into a teenager everyday. Downloading music to her mP3 player and playing video games are her main activities right now. She keeps begging for a phone....we know she's not ready for that yet. I finally relented and bought her some cosmetics, a few little things, mascara, eye shadow and lip gloss. Now if I could just get her out of her room.

My social butterfly son continues to love playing with the big boys. He was very happy to receive all his train gear and Lego toys. I of course spend hours putting it all together to only have his make "explosions" which dismantled them. Playing with the kids, gotta love it.
Let the adventures continue........................

Captain's Personal Log Stardate November 2011

It has been a busy month. My daughter is doing well for a tween and seems to finding her own nitch at school. She still enjoys playing volleyball and I do hope she adopt an appreciation for physical exercise before the hormone change.

My son finally lost his partially cracked front tooth. When he was 6 months he had falling into the window sill and knocked one of his front teeth out and chipped the other. After a week of discomfort it finally came out. We've given him the theme song: All I Want For Christmas is My 2 Front Teeth. It will be a couple of years before we know what his true smile it.

Hard to believe that this time next year my son will be in kindergarten and my daughter will be preparing to go to high school!
