It's been a while....

Hmmm.... what is new with the Potter clan?? Let's see... Kaylen has now been gone for 17 weeks and 4 days. It is going by pretty quick I suppose. The impending holidays will sure help! I wish he was here though. It has been 3 years since he was gone for the holidays...the last time he was in Great Lakes, IL at boot camp. The boys and I had Thanksgiving with just us this year, we were going to go to a friend/neighbor's house, but I decided [last minute] to do it at home. It turned out good... duh... I can cook!

Currently, Nixon is in trouble and exiled to his bed while Noah is sitting next to me here in the kitchen literally force feeding me Honeycomb cereal! I can't eat as fast as he is giving! Mom, I am sure you will remember a similar story... mine is just reversed! I keep telling him "thank you, I will get my own..." but that seems to be falling on deaf ears! He also is examining every piece before it goes into his mouth... occasionally he says "football" because he thinks it looks like one! He is a funny kid!

Back to the holidays... Nixon and Noah of course looked like rock stars...


They obviously can't help being so darn cute... look at me! Ha!! Anywho... I have spent the last few days doing the final touch ups on the Christmas decor! My tree has been up for weeks now and the outside was [for the most part] completed today! I am not done though... so no pictures!

Noah's vocabulary is slowly coming along... he cracks me up all the time! The other night at bath time, the boys were in the tub and I was in their room getting their pjs ready when I hear "mommy, Noah is falling out of the tub..." so I go in and I see Noah with his feet in the air above the water, high centered on the side of the tub and his hands on the floor saying "hewp me, hewp me!" It was FANTASTIC!! I got a good laugh out of it!
