We Are Here Now!

 Well, we have been in the new house for a little over a week and all the boxes have been unpacked! YIPPEE! I hate unpacking! Overall, I am really liking it up here, the weather although a little nippy at times hasn't been terrible. It did rain the entire weekend, but I had a lot to do in the house, so it didn't matter. I thought I'd share some pictures of the midgets last few days in Georgia.

Getting Big!

I took the kids for their 30 month check up yesterday. WOW! 30 months! Man where did the time go?

Caitlin is 36 3/4 inches tall and weighs 32.6 lbs! Her head is still on the small side of average, but her hair more than makes up for it!

Connor is 36 1/4 inches tall and weighs in at 33.8 lbs! His head is still on the average side! It would have measured bigger, but I shaved his head the night before!

Both kids are talking up a storm! When Dr. Hill asked Caitlin if she would like a sticker for being such a good little patient she responded with " Well of course!" Like duh! Connor could only say "yea! Dr. Hill!" He knew he wasn't there for a shot! We are going to miss Dr. Hill and her smiling face!

Georgia on My Mind

In honor of our journey north, I thought I'd share some of the things I am going to miss here in Georgia.

First, I am going to miss the humidity. As strange as this sounds, I really enjoy August afternoon walks through the neighborhood when the temperatures are in the high 90's with high 90% humidity.

I am going to miss our house.

When we first moved here, it was way too big for us, but when the midgets joined us and became mobile, it was nice to have the room downstairs for them to play.
I am going to miss the Mega Churches here.

 This is Woodstock First Baptist Church and it is huge! They have a very nice playground for little people too! I don't have a picture of it, but I am going to miss the crosses draped in purple cloth that are out around Easter time! It is a beautiful sight to see!

I am going to miss all the Waffle Houses! Always two per exit!

Eating at a Waffle House should be on everyone's bucket list!
I am going to miss Zoo Atlanta. It has become one of my most favorite places to take the kids! We bought a membership and were able to visit once a week! We did buy a zoo membership to the Toronto Zoo, so the kids can see Polar Bears instead of Panda Bears.

I am going to miss the dogwood trees!

This is one of the many in our yard!

Snow Day 2011!!

It may not seem like a lot of snow, but the 5 inches of snow that fell here Sunday night into Monday morning was enough to close the city of Atlanta down! And with us moving to Canada in the next few months, this was a great time to get the kids used to the snow! They seemed to really enjoy it!

 Miss Becky pushing the kids down the driveway!

 WEE! That was fun! Let's do it again!

 Me and the midgets!

We walked across the street to say hello to Miss Becky, our other neighbor Miss Alea and her son John brought over their sleds for the kids to slide down Miss Becky's steep driveway! They had so much fun! they were sliding down the driveway, across the street and half way through our yard! Once Miss Becky's driveway turned to a sheet of ice, we moved through her back yard and onto the golf course!

Notre Dame!

For my birthday this year Jayson treated me to my first weekend away from the midgets. I missed my little people so so much, but I had a great time in Chicago.

The Not So Little Midgets

Today we went and visited the pediatrician for the 2 year check up.

Caitlin is 36 inches tall (94% tile), 30.2lbs (86% tile) with a small head ( she is in the 35% tile for head size).
Connor is 35 1/2 inches tall ( 77% tile), 32lbs (92% tile) and his head measures in the 72% tile.

Frisbee Dogs!

A few weeks ago Jayson and Jeff had run a 10k up in Cartersville Georgia and noticed the Frisbee Dog competition was this past weekend. So we bundled the kids up and took them for a jeep ride. They absolutely love going for rides in the jeep!
This is one of the most beautiful German Shepherds I had ever seen! And he did an awesome job! He caught some long bombs thrown!
Here we are watching on the sidelines and cheering the dogs on!
Caitlin really loves dogs, I mean she wants to pet and kiss each and every dog she shes! Sometimes that makes our walks tough! So I think she really enjoyed herself.
After we got home and the kids had taken their nap, they were playing on our back deck. We decided to put their bubble machine out there where they can play with it whenever they like. Connor is starting to yell "CHEESE!" when he sees you taking pictures. And he actually smiles with his eyes open!
While we were at the Frisbee Dog, we walked past a booth and someone had asked us if the kids would like a coloring book and a t shirt! The t shirt is too big, but hey liked it and they loved their coloring books! Here they are coloring while I made dinner!
