Well, first a funny story...
Brent is usually the one to get Josh up and going in the morning for school. I have to leave earlier than he does so I usually have to get Jacob ready to go with me. Brent texted me about a month ago one morning saying he had to go back home. Why? Apparently in their rush to get to school and work, no one noticed that Josh was missing something. They got almost to the school when, from the backseat, Brent hears,
"Daddy I'm only wearing one shoe!"
Brent, while grabbing his foot, "You had better be kidding"
Brent again..."Josh why didn't you tell me you didn't have your other shoe on?"
Josh, "I didn't know I didn't have it on!"
Now, several things run through my mind when I hear this from Brent. How does he put only one shoe on our kid and not the other? How does he not notice Josh walking funny with a shoe missing? Better yet, how does JOSH not notice that he only has one shoe on and is walking funny?
Questions I'm sure will never get answered. Needless to say, neither Josh or Brent made it to work or school on time.
More on the shoes... Josh really dislikes wearing shoes. He would rather go barefoot than have to wear his shoes. Of course, we wouldn't be good parents if we let him slice his feet up and tear up his toes. So, we have to be mean parents and make him wear his shoes. On the other hand, we have a dog who loves our shoes. He never tears them up.. he just has to have them near him and collects them from our closet and wherever else they may be. So, enter the next shoe story.
"I want to go outside and play basketball."
"Put your shoes on"
"I don't want to put my shoes on"
"Then you can't play outside"
"Fine I'll put my shoes on"
"I have my shoes on and I'm going outside"
"Okay be careful"
So, of course I go to check to see if he really has his shoes on and this is what I see.
Apparently he couldn't find the matching shoe to either pair so he improvised. In all fairness, I never said the shoes had to match.....
November was very rough on us physically. For about 3 weeks straight we passed around the stomach virus and whatever else was going around. It seemed like someone was always sick. That was not a fun time. I think we are finally over that!
Thanksgiving was nice. We stayed home for Thanksgiving Day. We had our own little family feast of Cajun Turkey and some fixins. It was nice to not have to travel anywhere that day.

Christmas was very nice this year. On Christmas Eve we went to Brent's family's house and later that afternoon to his grandmother's house. It was nice to see everyone after such a long time. We didn't go last Christmas since it was too close to my due date and we didn't see anyone for Easter since Josh was having his surgery on his arm. My how everyone had changed!
We thought Jacob would be more into opening presents this year with his first Christmas since he would be almost 1. He was actually more interested in playing with the wrapping. Enjoy the random pics of the kids Christmas.

Anyway, that about sums up our holiday season. Hope everyone had a great Christmas just as we did and have a wonderful 2009!
