Day 5-Something I made.

You can read all about it, HERE.

Day 4-Something Cold

I can't be trusted alone with this in the freezer. Hide the spoons. 

Day 3-Something Red

I need to remind myself daily to just stop and enjoy my kiddos. The floor doesn't matter, the laundry can wait. It's time to build memories.

Day 2- Glitter

The Diva, Sophi.

Oh, Christmas Tree

I am going to be joining in on the fun, and doing this photo challenge, you can find it here. 

First Up; Oh, Christmas tree.

We are in the middle of moving, and will be in Couer D'Alene for Christmas this year. So we have a "pretend" tree. Which I am not so secretly happy about...I've always wanted a white Christmas tree, but have never been able to talk the Hubs into it!

Rewind-Cancun March 2012

In March, Leif and I took a MUCH needed 5 day vacation to Cancun. It was SOOO incredibly nice to have him to myself! It is such a luxury that you take for granted before children. We stayed at a beautiful all inclusive resort. (translation: We got fat) The only thing we really wanted to do was see Chichen Itza, the rest of the time we laid around, ate, sun bathed, and were all around lazy bums. It was fabulous. 

Soren @ 1 and a half years

Soren is clearly too little to ask about his favorites, so I'll just fill you in. He has had a rough few months, but seems to finally be coming out of his misery, and is starting to enjoy life a little more. Since February the little guy had 6 different ear infections, an allergic reaction to penicillin, and teething, all wrapped into a nice little bow. It hasn't been fun...for any of us. About two weeks ago, he had a little surgery done to have ear ventilation tubes put in. So far everything has been peachy, it is so hard to see your kids in pain.














He is picking up new words like crazy, and is so frustrated that he can't communicate better, which leads to tantrums. Oh, the joys. He has one word in particular that gets used in abundance, "Nandy"...rhymes with Candy. The kid is a sugar feign! It's hard to tell what Soren is particularly attached to toy wise because he always wants to be doing what Leif and Sophi are doing. But, he does like to play with trains.  Outside, he loves playing in his "cozy coupe" or jumping on the trampoline with Sophi.
Soren loves shoes, he always is bring his shoes to me wanting to put them on.
It makes me sad to see him growing so fast, but it is also exciting to be opening a new chapter of our lives. We are out of the baby stages, and going and doing things is getting easier all the time.
