MILESTONES

Is anyone starting to notice a trend in my blogs? I sure am. I don't do it when I need to and fall behind then I am busting with information.
I really need to be more consistent with my updates.
What can I say, I get busy. AS WE ALL ARE! Blogging starts to take a back seat.
So I am going to focus on MILESTONES!

MILESTONE ONE:
As mentioned in a previous blog.
At the end of December Brian and I went on a vacation alone! Not only our first non-family event planned vacation. BUT without kids for 7 days! FUN FUN FUN!!
San Diego was great! Sea world for two-days, Dinner/dance cruise, USS Midway,and Wild Animal park! We stayed at a very nice resort called the Catamaran.
It was located on Mission Bay and with a hop, skip, and a jump we were able to walk on the beaches and watch the waves. SO RELAXING!

MILESTONE TWO:
Eleanor cut her hair. (This was in January)
Not trim...NO, a cut.
10 Inches! We were able to donate her hair to locks of love but she just grew up before our eyes. I have to admit I shed a lot of tears while at she got it done and then a few the next day.
BUT she loved it she didn't stop smiling for days. It was a BIG deal to us all!
MILESTONE THREE:
Owen is Finally walking ( In December!)
He was incredibly fast when crawling and really
didn't want to take the next step! (Pun intended!) But once he started he didn't stop.
He was already so busy I wasn't in a hurry for it. But he can keep up with the girls and has so much fun now. It is amazing how fast he is growing!
MILESTONE FOUR:
Madi Looses another Tooth (In December)

It is amazing how grown up she feels every time she looses one.
She is so excited and just bubbles over!
MILESTONE FIVE:
I painted the Girls' room (In January)
I finally put to use the paint I had purchased about 6 months ago!
-To match their quilts.
Then I finally finished the quilts. (In February)
I had been working on them for almost two years-Off and On.
The bunk beds finally went up. (Two weeks ago)
Now that the painting is done.
MILESTONE SIX:
We have been talking about a tire swing.
Also up. (Two weeks ago)

MILESTONE SEVEN:
UPDATED MY BLOG! (TODAY)
*pat myself on the back!*

When I saw that picture of Ellinore, I thought it was Maddie! Then I remembered that Maddie is a lot older now :) Thanks for the blog update. Sounds like you have been having lots of fun. We love SD too!

I'm with Courtney, I thought that Eleanor was Maddie! They look so much alike! You sure have a cute little family! It's fun to see what you guys have been up too, and congrats on your milestones!
