Time Off

I had a blast staying home with the boys. I was able to take 12 weeks off and only had to go to 9 Dr's appointments during that time! :)

I know we have a ton of October birthdays already, but it's great timing when you're working. You get Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas off, without the worry of having enough PTO!

We took a lot of naps:


Because the 4 AM feedings really got to us:

I didn't really make B feed him, at 4am or any other time. He likes to help, despite the look on his face!

The boys were Captain America and a Tiger for Halloween. They were lucky enough to trunk or treat and trick or treat. We were set on candy for a while...



We had a great Thanksgiving...and I forgot to take pictures. But then we blessed Miles. He was soooo cute in his little tux!



Then came Christmas and we had a blast!! Bryan was sooo excited, but was confused as to how it could be Christmas when there was no snow. He helped Grandma trim the tree


B made gingerbread houses with his cousins at the ex-Norman Christmas party


Daddy continued the tradition of reading Jolly Old Santa Claus, funny voices and everything!


And Santa brought B the one thing he asked him for : Harry Potter Legos. Which I then had to put together...



Nana and Papa made Christmas even better by coming for a visit. I was a bit busy with a new baby, a three yr old and a man-child, so I didn't get many pictures... :( But we'll see them again, maybe sooner than later. :)


That's Mr. Miles' bald head. He takes after his daddy!

All in all - a wonderful time off!!

It took me forever to figure out what ex-Norman meant. I need a nap.

Man - it was crowded in my house, eh?

Glad you enjoyed your time off!

I want to know what "ex-Norman" means! And where is the video you promised me?:)

Janice - I'm not sure who has the video...and if it's been destroyed. ;) The "ex-Norman" is cuz we had all the Norman girls, but we're no longer Normans - it felt weird calling it the Norman party when there were no Normans there ;)
