Falling Behind

I've got a lot to post, but I'll probably save some for future posts (and hopefully this time the not so distant kind of future). 2007 hasn't been the best year, but I'll write about that in another post. Nothing all that bad to us mind you (so as not to scare into imagining something that hasn't happened). Things just haven't gone quite the way I had hoped. I was hoping 2007 would be a great year and it has started out on a less than stellar note in many respects.

Before I write anything about 2007, (and so I can get back some blogging momentum) I should at least talk about Christmas and post some photos.

Santa was very good to us again this year. Based upon the volume of toys currently spread across our floor, he's been way too generous. If Cooper has learned any cuss words it's entirely because I've injured my foot stepping on unseen toys.

Cooper was very into the whole act of opening presents this year. He opened his presents, Colton's presents, my presents, and anything else he could find that was wrapped. There were so many presents that Cooper didn't open them all on Christmas day. A good stack of presents was left unopened, but Cooper found them the next day and opened them while I was at work. Colton wasn't interested in the presents this year, but I'm sure he will be next year.

It was a very Elmo Christmas for the boys. Besides the chair and the big stuffed Elmo doll, there was a talking Elmo, an Elmo phone, and Elmo book.

This is the stack of presents left unopened on Christmas day.

Cooper had fun playing with the wrapping paper. I'm not sure why we even bought him toys and you don't cut your foot when you step on wrapping paper.

Despite not caring all that much about Christmas this year, Colton was tuckered out.

Colton on Christmas day at Aunt Heather's. Notice the hair.

He had his first haircut a few days later. I think he looks so much different.

The boys are often found together. Planning something diabolical for sure.

I don't remember the context of these two pictures, but they're funny.

Aunt Kelly came to visit us with her boyfriend for New Year's. She brought her new puppy, who we affectionately call "Hula Dog".

Hula Dog had a thing for climbing on Colton's butt.

By the end of the year Colton was able to pull himself up on the first step.

That ends tonight's portion of the blog. I hope to return soon with a post of 2007 pics.
