James' 3rd Birthday
Long Time
nd what birthday presents we should get. This year things were a bit different because we've been focusing on finishing the new house. Everything came to a standstill with our banks so Alex has been really stressed!!

James
Where have I been?
We do get to go to a friend's wedding in December. Apparently, it is in the middle of nowhere. There's a lot of places like that in South Carolina. But a fun excuse to get dressed up.
Back to Christmas. I'm looking forward to being in our new house, having a decorated Christmas tree, stockings, candles in the windows, lots of cookies and food! I'm excited to cook also. I bake a lot of pumpkin bread during this season and I know my husband will be very happy about that. Although, he's not so happy about the weight gain :) But if I'm gaining weight, it's okay if he does too.
I'm looking through a lot of holiday decorating and cooking magazines to get some ideas to spruce up the house. Hopefully I'll be in a new house to spruce up!

New Words for James
"May-Man" = Mailman (not sure why he chose to say this word)
"Beesh" = Beach
So, we're just waiting and encouraging!!

House Update
James' 1st day at Preschool
I went to pick James up and he looked a bit like he had been crying. Sure enough, he got upset at the snack table because he didn't want the juice, just the fish crackers. Then at story time, he didn't want the teacher to hand him his treat for sitting down. He probably wanted to hold the bag, pick one out for himself and probably pass it out to the other kids. He likes to share food. Anyways, other than that, it was a successful day!!

Updates
The Kiawah house that Alex built is beautiful and is showing really well. We're praying we'll have a buyer soon. Alex is also helping our church do some demolition and rebuilding. It's a historical building that needs some serious repair. So, Alex has been very instrumental in helping to get it all done at a low cost. Fiddler Island is coming along. The addition in the back is almost completely framed. We have some flooring issues that will add on a little more time till completion.
James is doing well. He's learning he does not like to be disciplined and sometimes fights us on it. But we're sticking with it. James got evaluated by a government program called BabyNet. It's a government funding program that evaluates children under 3, for free, for any type of delays. We had James get evaluated for his speech. He qualifies and we are now waiting to get a call from the speech therapist to do her evaluation. All this is free so we figured, Why not?!
Ryan is walking. He's still quite fearless. He has teeth breaking through but they are taking forever to work their way down. So, I'm running out of food for him...
Me, I've been battling sinus problems and allergies. What I'm allergic to, I don't know. But I've been seeing an allergist and have taken many, many types of medication. I got a CT scan done and it turns out I have a big sinus polyp. So, I get to see an ENT next week for a consultation.
So, that's our life in a nutshell!
That poor bug!!

Ryan's 1st Bday
We celebrated Ryan's 1st birthday on Saturday, the 21st. It's always amazing to think how much that has happened in a year...birth, rolling over, smiling, laughing, crying, screaming, bottles, baby food, crawling and developing personality. At this point, I enjoy looking back at their pictures just to see how much they've changed. Ryan is such a ball of energy, has no fear, loves music, loves people and enjoys pretty much everything we throw at him. No, we don't throw anything too hard :) This is a video of Ryan eating his own personal cake. He had such a good time, but what a mess. He's a very messy eater.
We're looking forward to some more milestones this next year such as walking, talking and the Terrible Two's!. Okay, I'm not looking forward to that because Ryan can sure scream, but I am looking forward to getting it over with. Anyways, enjoy!

Week 2 of my Co-OP
I gave the eggplant to my neighbors because I know I don't like that. I gave the plum tomatoes to Bobby because he loves tomatoes.Everything else, I'll keep. We got more turnips so I guess i'll make a turnip casserole.
