Today Hayden finally took the plunge and started crawling. She is still working on perfecting it but she will be cruzing around the room in no time. Today she also furniture walked the entire length of the ottoman. I think it was because I left her standing there when I went to go cook dinner and she was looking for me.

Kendal is getting better at the whole potty thing. We have invented the poop monster who comes to get little girls who poop their pants. Kendal has been doing very good since we came up with the poop monster. She has been wearing real underwear over her pull ups which also seems to be helping.

Tonight Mike let the girls take their baths together. It was Hayden's first time in the big tub, I think she liked it. She was flapping her arms like crazy. Kendal kept dumping the water bucket on Hayden's head and she acted like it didn't bother her.

Our new camera was delivered today, so hopefully no more devil eyed children.

Enjoy new pictures.

I'm stuck

I did it.

Hayden loves this Dog, even if it is as big as her.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a great holiday. Ours was surely enjoyable. We had our first Christmas here in Michigan then traveled to Cleveland the next morning. It was nice to spend Christmas here, especially for Kendal. I remember Christmas mornings at home when I was a kid so we want the same for our kids. We had a great time in Cleveland as well. Both of our families got the kids some great presents! Thank you very much! It was really nice to see everyone. New Years Eve was spent next door at the Abbott's, very convenient and is always a good time. Recent pictures below:

I think she ate more than she helped

This morning we took the kids to have Breakfast with Santa! This was at Castaway Cafe so Kendal got to have plenty of other fun as well. Kendal did a little better with Santa this time... she didn't cry, but didn't smile either. Maybe next year. We ordered our Christmas cards today as well, see below for a preview. Other than that we had a nice relaxing weekend together. Some other pics are below as well.



Look at my teeth!

Kendal told Santa she wants a GPS for daddy's car!

My parents were up again this weekend to see the kids... some pictures below. When I was in France I forgot that we did take a few camera phone pics... the Eifel tower is pretty cool at night. As well, the Arc de Triumph was interesting as my grandfather actually marched through there after WWII.
