Late little post

Our sweet little family. We were excited that Lucy actually cooperated with us!

Cole loved the Christmas tree and didn't destroy any of the ornaments, maybe because the bottom third of the tree wasn't decorated. We've decided that next year is the year for our real tree, this one looks way too fake and takes up way too much room in the attic. (I knew you were wondering :)

Christmas Photo...I love this, he was in no mood to have his picture taken, didn't smile one time. I like this because it shows his personality, the way we know him...such a charmer.

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted last. We've been busy and sick! Poor Marc's been home with a respiratory mess that has had him on the couch for 5 days with a fever. As for Cole and I, we are still holding out for our immunity to prove loyal! (It helped that I followed Marc around with a bottle of Clorox Anywhere spray, that stuffs amazing!).

I'm posting a few pictures I meant to post a while back, then I'll get you all caught up with what's been going on with us!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and are embarking on the journey to an amazing 2008!

We're still here!

If you were wondering...
We've been so busy and I haven't uploaded pictures yet.
New Year's resolution: better blogger (amidst a few others)

UPDATING SOON!!!

Holiday Boredom

If you're sick of shopping, licking envelopes, baking, or wrapping gifts, check out this site for some fun.
We've definitely gotten a lot of laughs out of it this season!
5 days until Christmas! Are you ready?

A year ago...

So, this picture isn't the best of either Cole or I, but I found it and it hit a little tender spot in my heart. This picture was taken a year ago and it amazes me. Cole has changed so much and it really seems like yesterday he was this little baby. As us Tepner's are getting ready for the holidays, it's hard not to think about times past..just thought I'd share!

Hopefully, I'll have a picture of Cole and Santa to post. He's been a little sick (Cole, not Santa..duh) so I want to make sure he's feeling good and doesn't give him any ideas that he was a bad boy this year...

Naughty or Nice?

you decide?
I think I"ve made up my mind... putting in a good word to the big man in red.

Tree time

He IS cuter than this picture allows, promise...we were setting up the tree at our house and he crawled in the box and was being super cute. There's a dog ornament about his level (we didn't decorate the bottom 1/3rd of the tree for obvious reasons) and he points to it, says "puppy" and proceeds to go "ruff, ruff". Seems like he's got the dog thing down! He is saying so much, it's amazing. It's been neat to watch him make more connections lately, too. He'll get a bowl out of the cupboard, walks to the pantry and goes "cracker" or "O's (cheerios)" and stands there! Here's a few more words he's saying: tractor, water, turkey, pasta, mote (remote, what is it with guys and remotes?), Lucy, done, all gone, movie, Elmo (his favorite!) and many more I can't think of because it's 12:25am. He also says "pee pee" and puts his hands on his diaper. I didn't teach him that, either, must be a male thing...

Proposal

Here's my official proposal for a new camera with quicker shutter speed! It is SO difficult to get good pictures with a child on the move who won't sit for a nano second. These seem to be the quality of pictures we're getting these days! I wonder what Santa will bring me?

PS: I highly think that spending money on a nice camera is extremely worth it. Can you tell?
