Mya - 2 months old
(She slept through the whole photo session; we couldn't ever get her to wake up.)
Mya - 14 months
(We could barely get her to sit still (the little holly thing she's holding was the only thing to distract her - she only ate a couple of the fake berries, no worries.)
Can you believe how much she's changed in one year?????I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and since I'm being lazy this year and not sending out christmas cards, I figured I better at least do a christmas post. I actually hate to even admit it but I didn't put up a tree or any christmas decorations either. All of our stuff is in storage across town and I figured since Mya would probably just pull the tree on herself and probably burn down the apartment complex I wouldn't bother. We'll be celebrating christmas eve and christmas day in Hershey and then going to St. Louis the following week to be w/ Brad's family. I'm so excited that we'll get to see all of our family on both sides!!!!!! Can you believe it? It doesn't happen very often, considering how many there are of us and esp. on Brad's side when everyone is so spread out. That will be the best part about this christmas. I am looking forward to being in our new house next christmas.
Mya loves christmas lights and the big inflatables in people's yards of santa, snowmen, reindeer, etc. It's soooooooooooo cute; she pants and kicks her legs and gets so excited. We've been driving around looking at lights a lot and whenever we go to Lowes, Wal-mart, etc. she has to see the inflatables and wants to touch them so badly. I didn't even think she would really notice that stuff yet but she definitely did this year. I'm so excited for christmas morning with her this year since she'll be a bit more interested in presents and stuff than she was last year.
Happy Holidays to everyone!
The progress on the house is moving along pretty good. The snow storm didn't help any but oh well, it is December after all. These pictures are a couple weeks old so it's changed even since these pics. We should be getting siding and stone on starting this week - I'm so excited to have that done and see what it will look like. On the interior, they're done w/ wiring, insulation, and some other stuff like that. Hopefully the heater will go in soon and drywall will start. Brad and I have been picking out quite a bit of the interior stuff and for the most part have that done - lots of little things will come up I'm sure though. I'm so glad Brad and I have very similar taste; it makes this part go much smoother. We're still hoping for a completion date of Feb. 2010. Yes, the house is still on the market and I'm going a bit crazy not knowing what's going to happen. You guys know me; I am a PLANNER! Oh well, I'm getting better at going with the flow, esp. after having Mya. If the house sells, then we'll just have to start the building process over and we will not sell that one so hopefully at the latest we'll be out of the apartment and back in a house next fall. Yay!!!!!! Remember, if you have any housing needs, just call Brad, the Realtor.
