It's been a long time....

It has been a long time since I last posted. Where does the time go?

This past weekend, I went up to Tab's so we could finish our Christmas shopping. Whew! What a day. I got up there around 11:00 and we went non-stop until about 8:00 that night. But, the good news is we are all done! :) I spent an obscene amount of money at the Toys R Us for Ethan and Brody and just need to get some stocking stuffers for them this week. Not too bad. I had finished my niece and nephew's presents last week so atleast I didn't have to shop for them. We are going to be celebrating Christmas with Missy this weekend because she is heading to her in-laws for Christmas. Since Christy isn't coming (boo Christy!), it will just be my parents, Ted, Brody and I. We will get Ethan Christmas afternoon but it sure would be nice to have him Christmas morning so we could spend it all together as a family! I told Ted that I don't plan to wrap Brody's presents....we would just put the toys together and let him play with them in the morning. I think my parents are going to spend the night Christmas eve since we normally spend it over their house. It will be nice to wake up at our house Christmas morning for a change.

I still can't believe it is Christmas already. It was 72 degrees today!! Such a nice day. And, I can't believe that Brody will be 9 months on Friday. He has his 9 month checkup on Friday too. Ted is going with us, which will be the first time that he actually meets Brody's pediatrician. He wasn't there when she came to talk to me in the hospital and for most of his appointments, he has been out of town. It will be nice for Daddy to know Brody's doctor. He is definitely on the move. He has started to take steps, of course not on his own, but he is always on the go. He is an extremely fast crawler and is standing up all the time. We have all figured he will be walking by the end of the year by himself. I can't believe my baby is walking!! It is completely amazing to see how much he has changed in just 9 short months.

I am so excited for Tab, who is about 4 months pregnant now, that she can experience all of this starting next year. She goes to the doctor this weekend and will hopefully schedule her next appointment to find out what she is having. When we were shopping this weekend, we were trying to find some clothes for her 2 nieces. The girl clothes they have are so stinking cute! She thinks she is having a girl, but I am not so sure! It would be nice for us to have a little girl in our family, but either way, it will be so exciting to meet this little Grubbs! :)

I meant to post some pictures, but I haven't downloaded them from the camera yet and the camera is in my diaper bag, which happens to be at my parent's house....so no pictures today. Sorry! :) I will try to remember to take the camera home tomorrow so I can post some.

I hope everyone has a good week and if you have more Christmas shopping, good luck! :)
