Photography

So, I have a new hobby and I'm really excited about it. Photography. I figure since my kids are so cute I can use them as models and entertain myself by taking picture after picture of them. Yesterday I used my regular old digital camera to shoot, but today I went over to my moms and got their SLR. The difference is amazing and I really don't want to give them their camera back. Anyway, take a look at the pics and please let me know what you think.

Thanksgiving

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and we had a great time. We started the day off my joining my aunt and little cousins (both are the same age as DJ) at the parade. After that we stopped my Grandma's for some DELICIOUS grub, and then over to Damon's aunts for desert and conversation.

Check out our slide show below.

Just a General Update

Just thought I would give everyone a general update as nothing really exciting has been happening around here.

Evan- is sleeping in her crib!!!!! This makes me very happy because during my pregnancy I swore that I wasn't going to co-sleep, but you know how it is at 3am...the nursery seems like it's five miles away.

We're also battling a horrible case of cradle cap. I mean her hair is caked with grossness. Following the advice of couple of my Baby Center moms I got this stuff from Wal-mart called Cradle Cap Care. So far so good. The flakes are lifting and I actually see scalp!

Cameron has started his sessions at the Children's Center and loves them! He goes every two weeks and we're hoping that it will help some of the issues he's having.

On the education front we've seen a lot of growth since Cameron has changed schools. The phonics is really starting to click for him and we think he'll be ready for sight words soon.

DJ is being DJ, begging for gifts and money that he doesn't deserve, arguing with his brother and getting great grades in school.

A New Look

That's right folks, Evan's got her ears pierced! I waited as long as I possibly could and today we got them done. I gave her Tylenol ahead of time and he was great, only cried for a second.

Doesn't she look fab???

Cameron's 4th B-Day

Cameron's 4th b-day is actually tomorrow, but because I'm taking a trip for work tomorrow, we celebrated today. I really can't believe he's already 4, he acts like he's 20. Take a peek at the pictures.

A Conversation with Evan

As you all know, Evan is a preemie and preemie's take FOREVER to meet their milestones. She's now smiling socially (has been for a few weeks now) and she is just recently beginning to coo. Check it out, we just had a complete conversation.

ALL I CAN SAY IS, "WOW!"

Yes it's taken me a couple of days to make this post because I am still in shock. I am ecstatic beyond words that Barack Obama is our new president-elect. I finally feel as if I belong in this country or as Damon said, America is finally FUBU (for us, by us). The election of Barack Obama is monumentous and I feel so blessed that my two boys were able to witness history and see that they too, can be anything they want to be.

WE DID IT, WE DID IT, WE DID IT, DID IT, DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE TOMORROW!

Halloween

Ok...so we don't normally celebrate Halloween, but Cameron's pre-shcool and Evan's daycare both requested that the kids bring in their costumes. Now, we could have been all like "No" and let our kids be odd balls, but that's out cold so we went to Target and picked up their costumes (and of course one for DJ). The boys went candy-begging around the neighborhood while Evan and I passed out candy (mostly to greedy teenagers and adults) and then we went to the mall to trick or treat there.






All in all the kids had a good time and Damon and I have decided that it's all harmless fun.
