Countdown to Christmas: Night #2

Awesome book tonight. Little Rabbit's Christmas.

I love this time of year.

Countdown to Christmas

Yes, call it pathetic. We rank up there with the blogger burnout gang.

It has been about 6 months since we updated, but it's time for a change.

This year we are doing a special countdown to Christmas with Duke.

Each night he gets to unwrap a Christmas book from under his tree and we read it together.

Here are some shots from the first night. The Friendly Beasts by Tomie dePaola.
(I will do my best to get a few of these up).

How bad are we at blogging? Well we just let a year go by without an update. Yeah that is pretty bad. Hopefully this update will bring you up to speed on our life.

The Duke is a quite a kid. He is extremely opinionated and quite spunky. One the flip side, he is full of kindness , cares about others, and is doing an awesome job at using manners. He really needs a sibling, and it is most evident by his desire to have someone to play with most of the time (We are on the wait list and making our way towards a brother or a sister). We are often surprise by his intelligence and his ability to understand difficult concepts. Someday he will be a wise man of God, who goes hard after the things of Christ.

Below are some pictures to highlight the past year.

Easter

We took Landon to an Easter Egg Hunt at one of the local churches in our town. Since we have been getting so much rain these days, the hunt was indoors. As we walked down the hall to the room where Landon's age group would be hunting eggs, Landon was so excited (not because he loves Easter egg hunts, but because he could see all the "balls" laying all over the floor.) As soon as we were in the room the lady announced that the kids could go. Landon took off running and kicking the eggs. Ian has been playing soccer with Landon since he was able to walk so it just made sense for him to kick the eggs. I did manage to catch up with him and tried to explain what he was to do with the eggs but he wanted nothing to do with it. As soon as we did fill his bucket he took it and dumped it out all over the floor. Oh well, the kids around him where happy and we really didn't need the candy. He did leave with a few eggs and his prize possession (peanut butter cup). He savored every minute of this wonderful treat. It took him 20 minutes to eat it because all he would do is lick it. Nothing wrong with savoring a good piece of chocolate.
