We had a really nice visit from my Mom and Hilary. Unfortunately, we ended up sharing our stomach bug and Hilary got REALLY sick. Sorry Hil! Santa was great to the kids... and so were Grandma and Hilary. One of the most popular toys they racked up were the big wooden kindergarten blocks just like Jack, Hil and I had as kids. They are AWESOME! Thanks Mom! Sooo universal. They build all kinds of different things and incorporate all of their "guys". I love watching their creative juices flow! Hilary got very creative and bought each of the boys a t-shirt of a great band or musician and a CD to go with it: Isaiah got Pink Floyd, Gabe got Bob Marley and Luke got the Beatles. This morning Isaiah said "I wish it was called Blue Floyd"!!! HAHAHAHA! What can I say, they're boys! Mommy got a great new travel mug, UGGS and a beautiful handmade necklace from Hil, straight off the California beaches! Justin scored some priceless fresh "mootz" from Hoboken's greatest deli! YUM! It was a great Christmas. Definitely a whirlwind! I guess that's how it goes with kids. All I can say is that I hope I have my act together a little more next year!
Isaiah turned 6!!!
I can't believe my little guy is a six-year-old! I have a SIX-YEAR-OLD!!! The big 3-0 is creeping up just around the corner and it's such a reminder of how time flies! I am so proud of the way Isaiah has adjusted so well to going to full time kindergarten. It's been great to watch him make new friends and have some time out from under my wing. As a mother, it's been hard to let him go a bit, but he is starting to grow his own wings and I am proud of the fruits I am seeing. I love you Spud!
