We had a great Christmas followed by a week of me having a cold that pretty much wiped me out. I went to work a little bit the few days between Christmas and New Years, a day of not lounging around at home meant that the next day I was absolutely useless. Anyway, my cold is finally clearing up, with the exception of a cough that John finds totally annoying, and we are all *knock on wood* healthy.
Christmas was charming with 2 little people. Preston is at a magical age of believing and wondering and enjoying every minute. Luke loves whatever is brother loves... and trains... so between the two of them we had a wonderful morning at home of breakfast with Grandma, Grandpa, and Debbie. Followed by and afternoon of more fun at Gigi and Grandpa's house.
Some of the present highlights were a batman fishing rod, RC cars, more pieces for lego trains and brio, and lots of legos. Here are some photos from Christmas!
I'll do my best to do some make-up posts.
But first things first and let's stick with the present. Tonight was Luke's FIRST night of gymnastics! He and Preston have class at the same time, which makes things super easy. He went with me to gymnastics a few weeks ago to pick up my knitting bag (which I had left there), and he was completely enthralled with the gym. He cried when we had to leave before he was allowed to play with anything. So... we signed him up. He did great! His favorite thing was probably the zip-line. He was nervous about doing it with the teacher, but was totally fine with having Daddy as a spotter. He also loved the trampolines and quickly got the hang of tumbling. There are only 2 other little girls in his class, so we get a lot of attention from the teacher. When the baby comes John will be able to take them both to the gym to get them out of the house, so I think it will work out well.
Here are some pictures and a video.

NO! NOT.... NICE!
I love you!
He hates when is pants are too long and he runs over to me yelling "FEET," and he loves to play "this little piggy."
And a silly conversation with Preston that ended with a 30 minute tantrum:
I'm waiting!
Waiting for what?
Waiting for you to make a decision on games.
Oh, well, my decision is NO.
You can't make that kind of decision. You can only make a YES decision.
