Wee Wilson Tales

Does anyone else do this? Even though Jax is a little young, we started it this year. Judi Lucius at Special Daze told me about it. It is the cutest thing ever. Click on the photo above for the official site. But the gist of it....it's a gift set that includes a book and your own personal elf. The story is really cute, and it tells about your elf that will come to you home every year at Thanksgiving. He watches to see who's being naught and nice, and then flies with Christmas magic to the North Pole to report to Santa every night. So your job as "parents" is to move the elf to a different place every night. When the child wakes up in the morning, they get to look and see where the elf is. So we play the game every morning of looking to see where the elf is. It's really cute...so I just wanted to share!

...... Is to decorate and move home!!!! Things are finally starting to come together with our remodeling. I am anticipating we'll get to move back in this weekend. The tile is finished, so now we have to move on to getting the cabinets up, granite in, and appliances delivered and in place. Is it too much to hope for all this by Christmas???? I hope not! John, Jax , Ronin and myself are still snuggled up in the apartment for now...with not a single Christmas decoration. Those of you that know me well...hard to believe, huh? I can't wait to decorate even if it only stays up a few days. Last week, Jax had a stomach virus. I got it from him on Friday. On Saturday I took him to the dr . because he did not sleep for the previous 2 nights. He had a severe double ear infection. He's feeling so much better now, and almost back to acting like himself. He's so funny now. He'll repeat ANYTHING we tell him to. He also sings a few songs with me that are hilarious. I am trying t...

Well, we had a nice Thanksgiving! We ate with my parents, Lisa, Mark, Zach on Thanksgiving day. My sister had to come after us because Harlee Kate's been exposed to the chicken pox. I don't think she'll get them, but we have to be careful with Ronin! So that was not fun...but we'll make up for it at Christmas. We had great food and yummy desserts, but somehow I forgot to snap pictures!?! Friday we went shopping. I look forward to this day every year! It's a special time for me, Mom, and Karen. And this year was even more special because the newest gal of the family joined us. Harlee Kate was an absolute doll. She never cried once or was a bit of trouble. I'm thinking in the years to come, she will be wearing us out by wanting to shop longer than we can handle!! Saturday we went to Grenada. Corrie did a great job with the food and Jax had tons of fun playing with his cousins. He slept all the way home. Ronin is still being absolutely wonderful. He sleeps about ...

John & Adam Brunch at the Yacht Club Ronin! If you click on this picture, you can see how his eyes are lighter than Jax's were. I bet they end up being the same color though! I think Amy Lauren took this - it makes me laugh - such a typical Amanda look! Amy Lauren, me, Jamie Us with the groom - Wes Davis Wes & Taylor Me and Amy Lauren Jamie, Jaime, Amy Lauren, Me Jax - when he was sick! - poor baby! At the yacht club! The guys...and parents of the groom! Uncle B and Harlee Kate Jax and cousin Elle

I've been so awful at updating this blog!!! And to make it worse, I'm not even adding pictures to this post! I am back at work this week. It's so hard to go back and leave the boys at home, but it is what I must do. I actually didn't cry coming back to work, but I did the night before...every time I looked at Jax . I think it was harder to leave him because he KNOWS that I'm there. We are still in the throes of remodeling. We are actually moved in to the apartment behind our house. We've been out of our house since October 14 th ! We stayed with my parents some before settling into the apartment. It's going okay considering we are still without a full kitchen, and 4 people (including one TERRIBLE TWO'S TODDLER and a new baby), in one room! Jax has been sleeping on a baby mattress in the corner of the bathroom. He only woke up about 6 times last night! It's crazy. Ro is sleeping better than him! One good thing is that Jax should be completely bro...
