Thanksgiving Already?!?!

I have been so bad about updating this blog. My apologies to anyone who might actually check it on occasion! It's just been so busy at work and at home the past few months. I barely have time to think anymore. Maybe that's a good thing?

Anyway, everyone is happy and healthy which is really all anybody can ask for. We're getting ready for Thanksgiving this week and then.....Christmas! I'm so excited about presents and gifts this year. Alex, Vivi and Maddie are all going to be so adorable. And hopefully Stewart and Tanya's twins will be born around then, too. There have been some scary moments for Stewart and Tanya in the past few months and Tanya has been on bed rest for about nine weeks now! But the babies are growing still and it looks like they're going to hang out for a little while longer which is great. Fingers crossed for Christmas babies because that's when they're scheduled to get here - no offense twins but we don't want to meet you any earlier than that! Really can't wait for their arrival, though - I love twins!!!! I've said it before, and I know I'm crazy, but I would love twins! Maybe not right away - but in the toddler years I'm sure there are some really funny moments ;)

Anyway, enough about all of that. Alex is doing great. He's a bundle of running energy these days and is still obsessed with cars, outside and dogs. Oh, and Elmo now, too. He's talking a bit more but he really mumbles pretty badly - oops. That's probably from my side of the family. He had his first spend the night adventure with Grandma and Grandpa and that went really well. He's spent the night with Nana and Papa before but it was a first for my parents. They, of course, absolutely loved all of it and I thought it was really cute how they entertained him. A trip to Chick fil A and a blow-up mattress to sleep on - which has turned into his and Vivi's new favorite toy. Yesterday Courtney, Myke and I all went to Toys R Us for some Christmas shopping and left the munchkins with my parents. Alex was so good! Where he usually tries to kick or push Vivi he gave her a hug and showed her all of the toys when she got there. That made me so happy because I was getting nervous about his lack of sharing with her. He's good at school, it's just Vivi he's like that with - but maybe we've turned a new corner.....

There isn't too much else to update - life has just been crazy for us this past month and a half. Work has really sped up for both of us which is good but also stressful. I'll attempt to post pictures eventually - I'm better about posting them on Facebook - so if you have an account, look there for picture updates.
