Fun in the tub

Last night Haley was taking her bath and of Megan was right there watching on the outside. (We can not put Megan in that tub without her going into major hysterics, can't figure it out. She loves her little tub, but don't even take her in the bathroom naked)Haley was goofing around and got Megan really hard. I couldn't take video (she's was naked) but here is the audio.

The Christmas Letter

Every year I send out a Christmas letter, but this year I'm doing it on here. Why? Well it's better for the environment, less paper. Cheaper too, I don't need to buy fancy paper and stamps. The postman won't use gas to get the mail to your house, and you don't have to feel guilty when you throw it away. All of these reasons are true, but I have to admit I'm just feeling a little lazy this year!

As the year comes to a close and I begin to compose this letter in my head, I start thinking about everything that happened this year. Holy Toledo (I can say that now that I live elsewhere) it has been a crazy year. A roller coaster of a year and I'm looking forward to the ride slowing down. I don't want to get off, but the loops are getting old and I think maybe one of those lazy river kind of rides is more of what I'm looking for now.

A quick summary, starting in the spring, because I don't even remember the beginning of the year: The daycare we used told us she was closing a week before Megan was born. Thankfully we found a fantastic lady and I'm so so so grateful. Then Megan was born, and I love her with all my heart and she is healthy and beautiful, but we all know it has been a journey. Right when I was going back to work, Bruce lost his job and that was a little (lot) scary. He has since found a job and is doing very well at it and we are crossing our fingers that no layoffs will touch us.

We lost Grandpa "Blueberry" and it was heartbreaking, but we did get to spend a few days in upstate New York with Bruce's family. We haven't done that in years, especially with both kids. My brother and his wife welcomed a baby girl 8 days after Megan, and Lucy is a beautiful little baby and I'm so happy for them. This year has had a lot of ups and downs, but there is always a positive and that's what I try to focus on.

I haven't found the positive of the broken toilet, maybe we all get to bond while waiting in line for the other bathroom?

Merry Christmas from the Davis Family!

Got a Camera, update on the girls!

So now we have a camera. Life can go on now. Its really a cool camera, I'm excited to figure it all out. Who knew there were so many different settings available? What ever happened to point, click and shoot? Get ready for lots of pics.

I have had a hard time finding time to sit, get my thoughts together and write. The kids are great, driving me up the wall. Haley is still all about politics...what have I done? Almost daily, she will ask for another story about George Bush (although there are tons to tell, which ones are appropriate?), point out McCain or Obama if she see a picture, and just talks randomly about it all. Bruce had her at the store the other day, she almost had a heart attack when they rolled past the magazines with Time/Newsweek/etc! I'm trying very hard to be impartial when explaining it to her, so please keep your lecture to yourself. :)

Megan is, well, she is Megan! I do love her with all my heart and she is a beautiful, healthy baby. When Megan is happy, she is so quick to smile and has tons of personality. When Megan is not happy, hide. She is still off and on when it comes to sleeping through the night. Some nights yes, some nights no. And when she does get up, its not one time...she'll be up about 4 times! ARGH! She is lucky she is so cute. And her hair! Haley has the straightest, finest hair I have ever seen. We have always been perplexed as to how (Bruce and I are curly, as is the rest of our families) but she is who she is. Megan sure makes up for what Haley is lacking. Check out the pic!

The sister thing is still good. Megan is up Haley's dupa all the time, and Haley gets annoyed here and there, but overall, she tolerates it and even instigates it. I can't believe how easy going Haley has been when Megan destroys something. Megan has an insatiable appetite for paper...your guess is as good as mine...and has chewed quite a few puzzle pieces. Haley just deals with it, I feel worse for her than she does! Just say a prayer that Megan doesn't get her hands on the Hannah Montana Holiday doll. I'm dreading that scream.
