Just a Catch Up Post

This week so far at a glance.....

• Basketball season has begun and both boys are enjoying some time on the court
• Unless there is food involved in the shopping trip, MK does not care to go - sigh
• Colin decided that we should take a few gifts that are wrapped under the tree and return them so that Santa will have more room to place gifts on Christmas morning
• Pryce is so much better, breathing good and coughing less - his stomach continues to hurt when he is offered vegetables or fruit, again, SIGH
• Mason-Kate's favorite part about the holiday season thus far are the snow globes that are placed around our home
• Ryan has one week left to work in 2008
• Less than a month until MK turns 2
• We followed along during the adoption journeys of four families last year....three of the four are in the process of adopting again, one is in China now (http://www.myshelbybaby.blogspot.com/), one is leaving sometime hopefully in January (http://www.cupcakesandhairbows.blogspot.com/) and the other is in the paperchase phase of adopting a little boy from Ethiopia (http://www.sarahbethmiller.blogspot.com/) - I am loving following along with them again!
• Unless you are a Georgia fan, you cannot find any college team related sportswear in our city
• Pryce lost his second tooth this past weekend
• And I have to add this.....as gross as it is, it is typical boy fashion. Colin learned to "armpit fart"....gross. Well we told him that he was not allowed to do that at home or in the car or basically anywhere. Obviously that went in one ear and out the other, typical somtimes. So, today he came from school on the bus, ran inside and announced that he could armpit fart much louder, huge smile all over his face. My normal response came out of my mouth "where/how did you learn that?" Anyway, he asked us if we would get mad if he showed us how to do it, we agreed out of curiosity and he then licked his hand, stuck it under his shirt and wouldn't you know the gross sound of an armpit fart came out louder than ever, amazing what a little lick of the hand will do!

We are truly just taking in this Christmas season, enjoying time with our family and friends and our little Elf, Matthew, who continues to remind us to mind our "p"s and "q"s.
