What's Up?

Just a little update on what we are up to these days...

Eric - He is working hard and stressing out. Really, what else would you expect from this guy? He recently opened a new office in a small town about 30 minutes from our house. I think it is going to be a good thing, and he is really enjoying it so far (I think...:)...) He is excited for the collage football season and has been cheering on our beloved Buc
keyes! GO BUCKS! Abbey and Ela are enjoying learning the O-H... I-O chant and Eric is such a proud daddy when they get it right.

Abbey - She started preschool about a month ago and is loving it. She has gotten over the separation anxiety and it has made it much easier on both of us. Her favorite thing to do right now it stay stay up late (REALLY late) and rearrange her bedroom. She makes it in to some sort of "office" - last time it was a dental office and she checked my teeth, so I guess I am good for another 6 months, right? She also enjoys creating "classrooms" where she is the teacher and gives me a lesson or reads me a book. She is a happy and healthy little
girl that is WAY to smart for her age. She cracks me up everyday because she seriousl
y talks like an adult.

Ela - She is two, that's all I have to say... HA! She is talking more and more and mimics everything Abbey does. Her favorite thing right now is Dora and she loves to sing the song "Dowa Dowa de Espowa" at the top of her lungs. She loves to be held and cuddled when she watches cartoons.

Me - I am a mom, that's all!

No, I just completed an online photography class and it was amaz
ing. I learned how much I really didn't know about photography. I joined a gym with a couple of good friends and it has been kicking my butt! I am loving it - such a great way to start the day. I have also been getting my craft on lately and made some pretty cute Halloween decorations:)

We are all looking forward to our upcoming DISNEYLAND vacay with Eric's family - YAY!!! My parents are coming to visit at the end of October - YAY, YAY! A good friend and her sweet boys are coming to visit in November (SO EXCITED!!!) And I just booked our flights to Utah for Christmas! Not a bad way to finish out the end of the year, eh?

And of course, what's a blog post without some pictures of my sweeties? These are both from my recent photog class. Final assignment was to pull it all together and take one great shot. I picked the one of Abbey to share with my class, but the one of Ela is too cute to not share with someone. She is so sick of me taking pictures, can you tell? And I am very proud to say that these are completely unedited pictures:) Well, I cropped the one of Abbey is all.
Wow - they look very orangey on here, huh?

Awesome pics, Lees! Congrats to Eric on the new office, the girls are growing too fast (I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN NOV!!), and I love that you are doing so many fun things for YOU (gym, crafty, photog class)--that's the balance I am always searching for.

P.S. Abbey needs to come to my house & help me re-arrange our rooms!

Great photos!! What class did you take? I need the info! Thanks for the update--it's good to hear what you and your family are up to. Glad things are going well for you guys. :)
P.S. Where is your blog background and why does it have that photobucket error box in the center?

Hey, I also need the info to your photo class so send it to me too. My sister and I are looking into taking one together. The pic of Abbey is amazing. She is so beautiful. The other day, Bricey was asking about Abba and Ellie as she calls them. I told her she could play with them sometime next year, sad...
