my funny valentine


Aron is my little shadow these days. He wants to do what ever Mommy is doing: cooking, cleaning, scrapbooking.... "I wanna doowit!", is a phrase I hear daily. I try to encourage him when I can so I thought a good way to satisfy his need to "do" with Mommy would be to make some Valentines for Daddy while he was out of town this past week. Oh, the fun we had! He would stop suddenly and hand me a scrap of paper and say, "Happy Vawentimes, Mommy." Daddy got a very special card this year complete with Diego stickers and a personalized "message" from Aron and I got a very special memory with my son.

SNOW DAY!



Well, apparently in Tennessee, two inches of snow is enough to shut down roads, schools and civilization as a whole! But it also affords a lot of fun for a two-year-old boy who has never seen snow! Snoballs, snowmen, and sledding! Oh, happy snow day!

Christmas Fun in Las Vegas

The Christmas Village at Opportunity Village is full of adventures for a two year old. Here are Aron and Casey peeking out of Frosty.
The Clark County firemen are so friendly! They hand out candy canes AND let you sit in their firetrucks! What else is there?
We are really going to miss our friend Casey! We had a great visit back in December and made a few last-minute memories to take with us. Little did she know the adventures of our roadtrip across the southwest lay ahead!
Aron was in a happy place on the carousel! Lights, music and horses! Yee-ha and Merry Christmas!

All moved in...

Aron was a very curious boy as we packed up the house in Las Vegas. He would add toys to some of my boxes and then sometimes undo the packing I had just done. Needless to say, I got as much as possible done during naptime!
But, we are here in TN and really liking it so far! It has been very cold, which is an interesting change from those mild winters in Las Vegas!
I will be wearing my sweaters a little while longer it seems.
Aron seems to be adjusting well and he likes our new church as well as the class he goes to at the church where I am working part time. For the first few weeks, anytime we drove up to the house, he would say, "Aron's new house!" But, I guess the newness has worn off a little, because now we are just "home".
