Don't you just love that little mini-mohawk on top of her head? She's had that ever since she was born, just a tuft of hair that's longer than all the hair around it, and it stands up like that unless we brush it down. So cute!
Anyway. Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat (except for my cloth diaper blog. I seem to manage to update that one much more frequently), and housework has really been falling behind (except for laundry - gotta wash all those cute diapers!). And as for Christmas preparation, all I can say is WOW. We put the tree up a while ago, but it just sat there without decorations for at least a week, because neither of us knew where the box of ornaments were and we didn't even bother looking for it. I found it while looking for something else and we finally decorated the tree this past Sunday - less than a week before Christmas.
Then a couple days ago I finally did my shopping for Jeff. He had already gotten his shopping done long before, and everything was wrapped and in the closet, ready for Christmas. Whereas I didn't even know what I was going to give him until I was in the store buying it!
And then yesterday I mentally went through all the gifts we had for the kids and realized that they would have a pretty pathetic little Christmas unless we put a few more things under the tree for them. Especially Zaylee - all we had for her was a little memory game, a couple stocking stuffers, and the gifts from grandparents. Seriously, Jeff and I had more gifts for each other than for the kids. That's when I realized how not on the ball I really was, yikes! I was so caught up with so many other things - the pregnancy, and making diapers, and now having a newborn - that I really haven't been making sure to be getting/making gifts for the kids this season.
So we braved Wal-Mart today to get a few more (inexpensive) gifts. I'm sure Zaylee will have a much better Christmas now that she's also getting some My Little Ponies and an alphabet game. And Thomas will enjoy his new toy cars. Also we grabbed a little plastic bowling set as a shared gift for Zaylee and Thomas. As for Audrey, I'm sure she won't mind the fact that all she'll be getting is some adorable new diapers and diaper covers.
And here's a picture of Thomas just because he's so cute:
Just a little funny - Thomas and that hat he's wearing have been absolutely inseparable for weeks now. He wears it constantly - around the house, when we go shopping, to church, even when he's sleeping! It's gotten to where he looks a little strange to me when he's not wearing that hat. Funny little guy.

Thomas is so cute! I cant' believe how old he's getting (and he's looking so much older too!--he's getting to be a big kid, not a baby anymore!) I totally understand about not being on top of things for Christmas. But you do have an adorable excuse :-) Again I have to say, what a pretty baby Audrey is.
Don't you worry. I have been SO not on the ball either...and we had to make a last minute run to get ourselves a present for Jenna. lame. :)
Hope your day is great!
That is Jeff! Like father like son. We miss you guys!
