Christmas is FINALLY over. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but we do a lot of running and I am happy to be done with it all. But boy did AJ have fun. It was so wonderful to see him so excited and finally understanding what it is really about! Santa was very to good to AJ this year, he received his wooden train set he was asking for! And boy did it take Santa a while to set that thing about, 2 1/2 hours to be exact. But it was worth it to see the look on his face as he walked into the playroom. Santa also gave him Wall-E and a wooden crane he has to share with his brother. John was oblivious to everything going on and we didn't even get any pictures of him opening a gift, poor second child.
The next couple of weekends will be busy with some exciting events. This weekend is the bachelor/bachelorette parties for Andy and Jennifer and then next weekend is the big day, THE WEDDING! All 4 Schmitt boys will finally be hitched! We couldn't be happier for them and can't wait for next weekend. The are holding their reception at a German restaurant here in town and the food should be awesome.
AJ and John are both doing well. AJ is still really enjoying school and we are signing him up for kinderstart classes at school next year. He will go 3 days a week and I think he will really enjoy it! We are also signing him up for camp at the YMCA this summer and of course he will do vacation bible school.
My baby seems to be turning into a little boy right in front of me. John is 7 months old now and just a joy. He is a very happy baby and a good sleeper. We have been blessed with 2 great little boys. He is eating solids like a champ and "talking" all the time. He is starting to mimic things you do and LOVES his big brother.
Joe and I are heading to the Riviera Maya in Mexico in March. We are looking forward to a much needed trip away. I love being at home with my boys, but with Joe in school and everything else going on, I do not get many breaks, so I am really looking forward to 5 days away! And not to mention sunshine.
We just bought a new Mac and have not had a chance to get our pictures moved over yet, so I will update those when I have some time.
