We're still here...

...after almost a week with no internet access, we finally got it back up and running (by we, I mean my husband). Unfortunately, "we" are still working on fixing the USB port so that we can download pics once again. Instead, I thought I'd pull out a picture of Sam's first Christmas - one of my all time favorites.Sam is SO excited for Christmas. Though we waited in line for an hour and a half to have Charlie start screaming and Sam decide NOT to talk to Santa, he still tells everyone that he asked Santa for a black space ship. He also wants Santa to bring Charlie a "small cuddle dinosaur". Hopefully Santa delivers:) He also likes to say that Christmas is "Jeezeeus" birthday.

Though Charlie doesn't quite understand Christmas yet, he DOES understand that pulling ornaments off the tree is a lot of fun and gets a rise out of Mom. Several times I have found him crawling across the floor, with a big grin on his face, and an ornament in each hand. He is 11 months old now, and he is crawling on all fours, walks forward if you hold both of his hands, eats everything you put in front of him, pulls himself up to everything, and wrestles with his big brother. I kid you not. They wrestle - and giggle - and truly enjoy each other. Once the camera is working again, I'll put a video up!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday!
