January Has Proven To Be A BIG Month!














We have had a lot of fun in January! Trevor has
been clapping, pointing, saying "hello" with anything that looks like a phone (or just his hand) up to his ear, AND walking! He retrieves his blankie like a little puppy when you ask him where it is and dances to any hip hop song on the top 20 countdown. We even had a visit from Nana all the way from Mexico.

First Santa!


















The lines for Santa at the Mall are way too long and the truth is kids Trevor and Sophie's age HATE sitting with Santa anyway. In the spirit of "Simplicity" parenting I decided that I didn't HAVE to have a screaming picture of Trevor's first visit to Santa. It wouldn't be the end of the world if we didn't document Baby's First Christmas in the traditional way. On the contrary, it would be the end of my sanity to have to entertain Trevor while standing in line for something that he will ultimately hate. As you can plainly see, we DID get pictures with Trevor and Santa (Sophie too). Residence Life at SMU oversees the on campus day care center (which has a waiting list so it's not where Trevor goes) and our facilities manager Gregg dresses up like Santa for them. Gregg was nice enough to dress up like Santa in the office so that Ali and I could try to get some Holiday shots with our kids, without the hassle. When Santa is holding a dataphone and Trevor won't go to him....you know that there is something WRONG with Santa! Trevor finally got the Blackberry he always wanted and was happy, once again!

2 Girls and 7 reasons to move back to Arizona.....Pronto!


Our Thanksgiving sleep over with the Kuczaj's!
Samantha and Rachel (& Andrew, Bradley & Max's) parents let me love their children when I didn't have the hope of loving my own baby. I can honestly say that I love these kids as if they were my own. I just wish I still had the energy and time to devote to them that I did BEFORE I was Trevor's mommy too!

Feels Like Forever...Ago...

It didn't' occur to me that I might not be over the "Mommy" hormone roller coaster until I started to plan Trevor's first birthday party. John Mayer...Stop This Train...i want to get off and enjoy JUST THIS for just a bit longer. ILTRW
