This and That

Today I went up to my mom and Garr's house for Garr's birthday. Claire loves birthday parties and immediately went to her room to make Grandpa something special when I told her we would be going to grandma and grandpa's house. She asked me what color grandpa liked, and then went to work on a picture of a dog. She was so excited to give it to him, and the whole way up kept talking about how excited Grandpa would be and how much she knew he would love it. She is just the sweetest little girl. I love her to pieces.

Elijah is getting to be more of a sweetheart. I think he will be walking any day now. He tried several times to take a step tonight, and one time I would say he did, but fell almost immediately. I can't believe I will have walker soon! aaah!

Chris and I have been busy trying to get our business launched, and we're also talking about taking a roadtrip at the end of the month out to Indiana to visit Chris's family. Am I crazy for thinking a roadtrip would be fun with 2 small children? I'm looking forward to it. We haven't done a roadtrip since we first got married. Hopefully we'll be able to go. I know Chris's parents want to see the kids. It's hard for them to be so far away from them. I take for granted that my family is so close.

I took Claire and Elijah to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point last weekend. Claire had a good time, and Elijiah, well....he wasn't all that interested :) I didn't get much of a chance to enjoy it. I had just finished an hour long power pump/interval class at the gym, and I just didn't gave the energy to carry Elijah and chase Claire for 2 hours. But, it got us out of the house, and Claire had fun, so that's enough for me. There is nothing like seeing your children light up in happiness and excitement.

Claire running from one exhibit to the next. She didn't want to go near the T-rex :)
Riding on the dinosour head, lol
Digging for bones.....I think she found some! :)
