The Christmas tree is now down and lights are off the house and kids were back in school today -- ahhh. It is nice to be back to more of our usual routine. We sitll haven't not sold our other house and it is depressing and frustrating... but I am hoping the new year and low interest rates and so forth will bring us a buyer. I am less interested in renting these days just because of everything that jas to go into finding good tenants and maintaining the property... I just don't have the time for it all.
So we'll see how it goes. The kids have all had chest colds as have Joe and I... but everyone seems to be on the mend now.
Teagan is more and more communicative these days which is really fun. He has lots of baby signs (sign language for babies) and a few word-like sounds. His most common one being "Dut duh da!!" for "There he is!" or "There it is!" when he is looking for an objest or when he is hiding, playing peek a boo or some other game that involves us calling out "Where is Teagan?" he likes to then come around the corner beaming with his "Dut duh da!"
He is pretty cute if I do say so myself. He likes to run around with only a onesie and his shoes on (with no socks) -- that is his outfit of chioce really, which is pretty silly and cute also.
Anyhoo... here are pics of the house and kids from the giant snow storm (we got over 13 inches right before Christmas -- a 59 year record!):
