Hope this finds everyone doing well. We have had a busy last couples of weeks. Last weekend, Thomas was a big boy and went and spent the weekend in Tulsa. He says he had a really good time. He loves the stairs at Gran Robin & Ricky's house and enjoyed some time at the park as well. It was really hard for me to let him go. I know he needs to be away, but get so used to him being around. He hadn't been on an overnight stay w/out us since Oct. so we know it was long overdue, and we all survived!

Thomas has decided these past couple of weeks that he is too big for his highchair. We are working really hard on breaking this quickly. We still enjoy eating out from time to time and need him to be in a chair so that he doesn't escape. On a good note, it is amazing all that he is saying now a days! You can tell he is really starting to repeat what you are saying (so some of us have to be careful)! He is also really gotten into to giving hugs and really likes to pat your back as he is hugging you. He is are little sweet man.

The picture we have of him this week is him playing in my car. It has become one of his favorite places. Eddie was fighting w/a squirrel (one of his favorite things to do) and Thomas was watching intently to see what would happen next! Unfortunately, it is the story of Eddie's life, he has a big bark, but not so big bite. The squirrel got away.

We go to the doctor on Friday to do another ultrasound for Caroline and we will know more about how much she is weighing in at (I am pretty sure we are having twins at the moment) and how accurate our due date will be! We have ordered our furniture and are now debating on which bedding to go with. Who knew this would be so difficult. Check in next week for a new update.

We have survived the holidays! It was a crazy time as always. We spent the week of Christmas between Tulsa and Yukon. Thomas was so much fun this year! He got way too many gifts that we are now desperately trying to find room for in our house. We feel like he has taken over. He was really into Santa this year. He seemed to enjoy saying "Hi." to all the fake Santas, but when it was time to see the real one at the mall, he wasn't all that interested. Hopefully next year it will be better.

We really tried to start some family traditions of our own this year. Some of our favorites were:

1) Driving around looking at Christmas lights and listening to Jimmy Buffett Christmas. Thomas loves to dance and every time that CD comes on he goes crazy regardless of where we are.

2) I introduced Thomas to "The Polar Express," he is amazed with it. He will sit there forever watching it.

Everything else is going well. I am now officially 27 weeks along. Caroline is kicking like crazy. She kicks all the time. We can already tell she will be able to hold her own w/Thomas. We go back to the doctor in two weeks for an ultrasound to see how much she is weighing in at, but I feel pretty confident she is going to be a big baby!

Now that I have finally figured out to do this blogging regularly I will keep it updated so everyone can check in!
