Success!! :)

[Cue the music from the end of The Natural when he hits the ball into the lights]

We never thought it would happen. We were convinced that Cole was going to go off to college wearing diapers. But this week we've had a number of break throughs and today was the biggest break through of all! Needless to say, there was much celebration at our house tonight!!!

Tank - Cole's new friend

Today Cole woke up and told us about his new best friend, Tank.  We were listening to him talk about Tank and tell all sorts of stories.  Tank is his new imaginary friend.  Cole has been very creative and has a very vivid imagination. 

He also seems to have a knack for listening to things and picking up the wrong thing.  Like from The Little Mermaid - "That little tramp!"  Trying to correct that and have him say scamp.

Cole is back in school and seems to be enjoying the classes and his friends there.  He is really becoming more and more verbal.  Lot's of fun having discussions with him at this point.  

Fiona Being Hip

Fiona is sporting her little jean tights and her hip shirt today.  Unfortunately she is a bit under the weather with the a cold, but we caught it early and the doctor isn't worried.  But she is topping the scales at over 12 lbs now.  Time is flying by.  Mary started back to work this week and I am sure by the end of the week we will all be exhausted.  

Photo Shoot after Christmas.

We realized we hadn't created had any professional photos taken of Fiona so we braved the crowds and headed to the mall the day after Christmas to get some photos.  Originally we were just going to get photos of Fiona, but then thought we should try to get some of the two kids together.  Very tough to do, but they both were troopers.  Difficult to get a shot with both kids smiling and looking the same way.  Overall, very happy with the results though. 

Happy Holidays!

Wishing Everyone A Very Happy Holidays!  

A few photos from the past few days.  

Getting ready for the Holiday Card.

Christmas Eve Day

 Cole thought this was Crabby from Cars Two and Finn was on the boat.
