Our little cleaner. She loves getting the Swiffer out and "helping" us clean the house. Honestly since we have to keep our house clean ALL THE TIME for the people that want to come see it, maybe having her help is not all that bad. Just as an update, we are still waiting to move into our new house. Unfortunately our house has not sold yet. I would lie if I were to say that I was not starting to get impatient.

My first ponytail...

No laughing...I agree it may be a small ponytail but it is a ponytail none the less. Sure it comes out within the first hour but I am happy that she has enough hair to even put it in.

Welcome baby Ryan

We welcomed a new baby boy into our family yesterday. Craig and Amy (Todd's brother) had a beautiful baby boy. Brooke and Emma (their daughter) are starting to become great friends. We babysat her while her mommy and daddy were at the hospital. Here is Brooke and Emma eatting dinner together and my new nephew Ryan.

Brooke Loves her Baby Dolls!

Oh my gosh! She got a baby doll set for Christmas and LOVES it! She likes to feed her baby milk and push her around in the stroller. She gets so into it and wants to make sure her baby is comfortable and warm in her stroller and baby seat.

We have to laugh at her new "smile" too. Every time we say smile when we are about to take a picture she does this adorable (well at least to us) smile.

Christmas Time

We had a wonderful (but very busy) Christmas time. Since I am so behind on my postings, I am not going to put a ton of pictures but here are some highlights...

Birthday at Christmas in the Park

November 29th was my Mom's birthday so we had our 2nd annual birthday event, Brunch at the Fairmont followed by Christmas in the Park. Christmas in the Park is a San Jose event where groups "buy" a tree that they decorate. We found it a little hard to "believe" we are in the Christmas Season though since it was 70 degree's outside!

Thanksgiving 2008

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! It was quiet but that was to be expected with everything that has recently gone on in my family. We celebrate this Thanksgiving in Honor of my Grandma who passed away a few days before Thanksgiving.

Brooke had so much fun playing with my Mom's dog Gemma. She and Brooke love to run around and by the end of the day they are both completely worn out! Brooke held the leash during most of the after dinner walk.
