long time no post..

(I had been painting our bedroom a light yellow, in case you may be wondering what in the world could be wrong with my left hand!)


Okay, I realize that I haven't posted anything on here since THANKSGIVING!!! I don't know where all the time went, but I have been so busy. A few weeks before Christmas, my sister Laura came here from Spain, and we went to my sister Rachel's wedding in Charleston. Laura got to stay for a total of 11 days, which was truly awesome. We had a great time. Then Christmas came, and the busyness of the retail season at work was wild. Our store in Travelers Rest that I used to manage has been being run by our friend David since I had Caleb. On December 28th he left that position because he's going back to school, so I have been filling in more at work... not so much working with customers, but working on general office managing. It is amazing how hard it is to get anything done at home (or elsewhere) with two babies! I am so impressed by women who work full-time and have kids. I don't see how it is physically possible to do that and keep a clean house. So in the midst of all this busyness, my babies have been growing up. Caleb will be 9 months old tomorrow! In the past two weeks he has started jabbering a lot, saying "no no", "uh-oh!", "mama", "dada", "baba" (for 'bye bye'), and "nana" for either banana or nana (Casey's mom). He has been crawling for almost 4 months now, but still no walking! He can stand by himself a little, but doesn't want to try to walk alone yet. Maggie will be 2 on February 4th. She is very excited about her birthday. She's so precious I can barely stand it. Her thoughtfulness amazes me. Here are a few pictures. I will try to keep posting every week or so. We'll see how that goes! :)
