They are just too smart for me!

I have no good excuse for not posting, so I'm not going to make one. I just want to share a funny story.
This morning Andro is taking the boys out to the car to go to daycare. As he is putting Aidan in, Luka tries to get himself in the car. It has been raining pretty much the past 4 days straight, and everything is quite wet. He goes to the car door and pulls the handle. It slips out of his hand and he falls backward. Andro goes over to him and goes, "Luka, are you ok??!" Luka stands up and says, "Well, that wasn't supposed to happen!" In true Luka fashion he tries again, gets the door open this time. He's so proud and yells, "I did it all by myself!!!" I can't believe how big he is. Wow! It happens so fast! :)

Christmas 2008 & New Years 2009

Making a list and checking it twice...

Well, things have been exciting around here! Although we didn't quite make it into the new house for Christmas as I had hoped, we finally spend our first night there the Sunday after Christmas. I would like to say that after everything that we have gone through with this house, that moving day went smoothly, but alas, I can not.

Let me rewind a bit though and quickly go through Christmas, which was really nice. Since we were not in the house yet we went as a family to mass on Christmas Eve. Luka slept through most of it and Aidan ran around through most of it. We then went up to Aunt Barbara's for dinner which was delicious and fun. We went home, put the boys to bed and awaited Santa's arrival! Christmas was nice and the boys got so many presents from family, friends and Santa.

Ok...back to moving day...we spent all day packing and moving on Sunday, December 28th. When we finally sat down to eat dinner with the boys, Allie and Rebecca and Joe (who came up to help us out) we were all exhausted and a little stinky! :) So, Andro and I go upstairs to give Aidan a bath, Luka is downstairs in the new playroom watching Max and Ruby and Rebecca comes upstairs asking for towels...lots of them. Long story short, every inch of plumbing in the entire house was removed throughout the renovation except for the pipe running out to the street. At some point that pipe cracked and roots grew in...so the sewer backed up...into our new playroom... Thank God Joe and Rebecca were there and knew what to do! I didn't take any pictures. I should have, but I didn't. The vision is forever burned into our brains...photos didn't seem necessary. It was a messy and stinky way to christen our new house but God's got a funny sense of humor sometimes!

I think I will stop here and update New Year's Eve in Boston at a later date...
