"I'm a Peacock, Captain, You Gotta Let Me Fly!"


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!



Lucy @2 years & 3 months
  - is way too smart
  - VERY possessive of me. When Tommy hugs me, she says, "Daddy, don't do that to Mommy!"
  - loves Aleena
  - is amazingly patient&loving with BabySister. If Aleena pulls her hair, she'll call for us to help. She has never hit at, bitten, or hurt BabySister intentionally. She's a great Ate.
  - Thinks Chewbacca is a monkey.

Aleena @6 months
  - starting to sit up on her own.
  - is a FATTY! She can down 6oz and a tub of apple sauce, then be hungry in 2 hrs!
  - thinks AteLucy is the FUNNIEST person ever! She ONLY laughs at Lucy.
  - Sleeps 10hrs straight through the night




It really sounds cliche, but I really can't believe that another year has come and gone! I remember when I was younger, I thought, "Man, people in college are so old!" and it's been 3 years since I've graduated! God has been really gracious to me and my little family. He has not left us wanting for anything He hasn't provided. I'm really excited about what 2013 will hold for us. 

I'm so happy and blessed with my two girls, and I wish I could say we'd be done, but Tommy wants a "hunting partner." Hopefully he'll just forget about it haha. Maybe Lucy or Aleena would want to go hunting with him when they get older instead. 

The first (& ONLY) time I went hunting, Tommy took me through the thickest and the most THORNIEST tall-grass ever. He was walking in front of me "blazing a trail" for me to follow but I just kept getting smacked in the face with the branches he was pushing out the way for himself. hahahah! I laugh at the experience now, but after a couple yards I just stopped and started crying. Then he took me  back to the car, and I just went on facebook until he got done. Ugh, never again! 

Anyways, we'll see, maybe in two years. I've been diligently going to the gym 2-3 days a week. I started at 133lbs, and after 4 weeks, I'm down to 122lbs! It doesn't seem like a lot, but I'm proud of myself for starting this around the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years festivities. I just want to loose enough weight, so that if we do have another baby, the pounds just don't keep on piling on.
