The holidays have come and gone and a new year has began. The kids have been thoroughly enjoying all their new toys.
They definitely have plenty to choose from. It was funny to see the two extreme type of toys that filled our house over Christmas. Every thing Audrey got was pink, girly, and had to do with princesses or barbies. Then there are John's toys that fell mostly in the super hero, or sports category. What's great about it, is that they both love playing with all of it. Audrey loves trying to play basketball with John or pretending to be spider man, and John loves to play house with Audrey, or have a tea party in the bath tub.
I can't wait to show him this photo some day, and tell him he eagerly played tea party with his sister.
The new year has brought a big change with it, at least it was one we were expecting. Aaron ( my husband) left for Texas on Sunday the 8th, and will be gone for 9 weeks. So we obviously we wanted to spend Saturday just enjoying our family. We have had unseasonable warm weather for January and figured we would take advantage of it and take the kids to the park.
The playground ended up being very wet so after a few minutes on the swings we walked up the trail to through rocks off the bridge,which my kids find extremely amusing. Once they tired of that, they played a few rounds of hide and seek in the trees. It was so nice to see them running and laughing and playing with their dad. We will miss him sorely over the next 2 months +, but are thankful for modern technology that allows us to skype with him every day.
Because of skyping with dad, Audrey has a new interest in the computer. There are so many education preschool games any more that I decided to take advantage of her enthusiasm to use the computer as a learning tool. She was so excited so play with "Dora" and " Curious George" today, that even hours after she had finished she was still talking about it.
And that is what is going on in our little home these days. Now that things have settled down some I plan on updating more frequently.
