Just a few shots from the last couple of days!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
I am up with Shane this morning. We have just finished our breakfast and he is playing on his play gym. Things have been going here as we gear for another Christmas season.
Heather has been a huge help over the last couple of weeks enjoying spending time with her brother. I think she will make a good mommy when it is her time (which won't be until she is at least 25 she says!). She helped put up the Christmas tree and even helped decorate the house since I was laid up! Heather and I did go to watch New Moon which we absolutely LOVED! We brought Hunter along but he is not too into the story.
Hunter has been growing like crazy. I am afraid to buy ANY clothes for him because of how much taller he is getting. A few weeks ago I would have guessed that Hunter was not going to get much taller than me and take the short side of my family or the Epperson side but now I am starting to wonder if the Harrington side is going to win. He has been keeping up with his reading and it makes me happy that it was not just a phase so thank you Terry! Hunter has also been getting used to his little brother as well.
At first I think Hunter was a little put off because all Shane did was cry and poop but now that Shane is interacting more he has become more cool!
Shane is finally on a good schedule and he has grown soooo much! I know it seems like so much cause I am home with him every day! He now holds his head up really well and he follows voices and faces and loves to play in his play gym. He loves music from his glo worm and the frog that hangs from his play gym. He smiles a lot and Dad can even get him to giggle!
It has been hard for me for the last couple of weeks. What started out as a twinge of numbness in my hip had turned into a debilitating pain that ran down my leg. At first I thought that it would go away and my doc confirmed that after time it would. I was given Vicodin which I did not like taking and it did nothing for the pain, and I was sent home and told to rest. Turns out it is my Sciatic nerve was pinched when my hips went back together after having Shane which is VERY common with women after child birth. I had been told by my doc that it would just go away but after I could not even stand for more than 1 minute and had to walk like a hunch back, I knew I had to do something because it was just getting worse. I finally went to my chiropractor and just in one visit I was able to stand up straight again! I have gone twice now and I still have some pain but now we have unpinched the nerve so I just have to work out the muscles I made angry by walking so messed up for over two weeks! I would have gone in sooner but my doc had told me not to go and that a chiropractor would not help. After talking to my chiropractor he said I should have been in sooner even when I was pregnant and he could have helped with the hip pain I had! Oh well I will not be going back to my doc again. YAY!
Both Heather and Hunter are counting down the days till Christmas break and their lists have been written and submitted. I am starting to wonder if this year is the year we talk to the kids about Santa. I think Heather is already suspicous but Hunter still holds the faith. How do you do it? Do you wait for them to ask you about it or is it better if the new comes from mom and dad instead of some kid on the play ground? I have a feeling that Heather does it more for our sake now because we make such a big deal about it. This year her letter to Santa was not addressed to Santa like it usually is so it makes me wonder. I just don't want the magic to go. Maybe we can stress the importance of keeping it alive for Shane?
We finished most of our shopping yesterday and now all we have to do is let the kids go shopping for each other and for us. I still have some little things to pick up for the stockings (which is my favorite thig to do!) and today Heather and I are going to bake goodies that we are hopefully going to send out...(I really am going to try to send out boxes! I swear!). I asked Walmart about our Christmas tree which is so dead our ornaments will not even stay on. Walmart said that they would exchange it but we had to bring the old tree in.
?
So now we have to take all the decorations and lights off this tree and load it up in our truck and then bring it in to customer service. This tree will be bare before we get there and I am not sure I would ask my husband to carry a dead tree through Walmart! I have to wonder if it is worth it at this point. It was a 30 dollar tree that only lasted less than a week.
I finally got my camsera back from being repaired and I have missed it sooo much. I ended up denting the ring that the lense screws into and it would only read error so I had to have that replaced. So NOW I can finally take some good pictures! Also I have been working on the slide show for everyone. I am having to redo the entire show as it will not save into a movie or slide show. I have had this problem before and it was on this computer but I can not remember how I fixed it. I can make slideshows on my laptop with no problem which leads me to belive it is my desk top. My laptop does not have enough memory to hold all the pictures I am putting on it or I would just do it on there. I will get a copy to everyone as soon as I figure out what I am doing wrong!
Well I am going to post some more pictures of the kids hope all of you are having good times with your families and enjoy getting ready for Christmas!

Enjoyed the pictures, they are all growing up so fast. Glad to hear that you are feeling better and able to get around. I would guess with the weather that you have been having that heath is going crazy wanting to get back into the fields. As for Santa, don't say a word, especially this close to Christmas. In time, they will learn that it is the spirit of Christmas that counts. I still believe in Santa, he has been good to me for 64 Christmas's so you have to believe. In most cases, I think kids figure it out early in their life, they just don't want to spoil it for their parents and that is the spirit of Christmas. If you can believe in Santa, it also gives hope that you believe in the real reason that Christmas is celebrated. Have fun with it, HO -Ho - Ho and two thumbs up for the little fat guy that wears red.
