Christmas cookies with Bailey

Bailey and I had a great time tonight making cookies for Santa! She scooped the cookies out onto a plate so we could sprinkle sugar on them before baking. She looked like she was really enjoying it!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Finally! A real smile from my son

I have tried for the past two years to get a picture of my son with a real smile on his face - and I finally got it this past Friday! You know how teenagers just want to look at you and roll their eyes. Well, Bailey didn't want to smile for the camera, but I was actually able to got a smile out of Truitt twice in one night!

I am still alive!!!

Well, it has been what seems like forever since I posted anything here so let me catch you up a little. Things are going great at work! I love my job! Bailey is growing everyday and learning new words just about every day too. Truitt is doing just fine - typical teenager. Tom is good for now. We did find out a little over a week ago that Tom has been tapped to deploy in June next year.

Oh, I have also taken another step to stay "in with it" and joined facebook. Have to keep an eye on my son! I have been trying to get a good Christmas picture of Bailey, but no luck yet. I have gotten some cute pictures, but none that are really an official Christmas picture. This one is good, but I can't get a good one of her looking at the camera.
