Christmas Lights 2015

Looking at Christmas Lights is one of our favorite Christmas traditions. We started doing this years ago, when we first moved to Arizona (in 2008) and always add new houses and neighborhoods to our growing list of "must see". 

 Katie's sister usually joins us, but this year, the entire family (minus Brad) came along for the ride! We started out with dinner at Joe's Crab shack before hitting Starbucks for some Hot Chocolates!

Notice how Fox is copying Katie's expression! That kid does everything his mommy does. 













One of these days, I'll have to learn how to use my camera in low light situations. It always frustrates me that I can't figure it out, so most of these are cell phone pictures!

A few days later, our company did a Christmas Trolley Tour to look at all the Lights around our side of the City. It was freeeeeezing in the trolley, but so much fun!





I can't believe Christmas is already this week! Eeeks! Even though we did a lot, I feel sad that my favorite season is coming to an end. I keep thinking about how Fox will be so much older next Christmas and how we will only have a limited number of years before he gets too old for Santa and the "Magic of Christmas". But this day is not today, so we'll soak up every Christmas moment we get with him. It's truly the best!

    Merry Christmas Nadine and Katie,

    Anonymous stranger here who found you through a link up long before Fox was born. I have enjoyed watching him grow. What a beautiful life full of fun and family you have given him. He is a very blessed and loved boy who will surely grow into a loving, wonderful man...be proud of that as it is a HUGE accomplishment. I hope your Christmas continues to be magical with this darling little boy!

    P.S. I am hopeful your new Au Pair will be the answer you seek to the best care of this little guy. What a trauma with the other!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...
