With my pregnancy scatter brain, my camera is never anywhere to be found...this might be why...
Hope you enjoyed Alex's Pictures :)

3 Kings' Day
This year we had a scaled down verison of 3 kings day (no piñata or Dora or King's bread...) but Alex seemed to enjoy it. He even was able to relate it to the Kings bringing Jesus gifts.
Painting Progress
In January, we have embarked on a painting/making the house our own. It was involved ripping down wall paper, washing, dusting, moving things, and painting. I do most of the prep work (that does not involve a ladder) and Pat paints. This has been our weekend project... Progress has been made and we might be done by Alex's 4th birthday in April :)
View from our backyard
It's crazy to say "our backyard" but we start mortage payments this month :) It needs some work... (grass, fence, garden, clothesline) but that might need to wait for warmer weather :)
More pictures of inside to come.

Did you notice?
Wow...what a backlog of pictures to post. Sorry for totally missing November and December...but we really have been busy.
Aside from the new house.... we are expecting Carr 2.1 in June 2010.
Over Thanksgiving, I had the swine flu but was fortunate enough to be the only one in the family to get sick. Pat was able to take off work without penalty and take care of Alex during this time. Unfortunately, since I am pregnant, the medical options were limited and the flu also morphed into a painful sinus infection. This took over a week to clear up...
Then, in December, we had freak weather that hindered us from moving into the house prior to Christmas. Plus, I (again the only one) had another sinus infection with a 10 day course of antibiotics (truly missing the zpack!). So, I was very useless in moving in but thankfully, Abuelos and Pat were great with moving and we were able to spend our first night, in the house, on Christmas Eve. The weekend after Christmas, Pat was able to visit West Chester and with the help of his friend, John, they were able to get our furniture (bye bye folding chairs!). As of today, Dec. 30th, all the boxes are unpacked, most of the furniture is in place, and we only have a few remaining items to move in...
Wow...what a busy end to 2009 :)

Donaldson Christmas
Christmas evening, we traveled up to Abuelos' for dinner with the Donaldsons. It was a nice evening and a good opportunity to spend with family.Christmas Brunch
To keep from traveling on Christmas morning, we had Abuelos, Tía, Joe, Magnee, Pap and Mammaw over for brunch. Without a stove, we were able to provide waffles, bacon, sausage, juice and other goodies for a filling lunch :)
After brunch, we moved out the folding chairs and opened some presents. The big fun seemed to be the reacting T-Rex.
