As self employed people, we rarely follow the "rules" of holidays and vacations. When we travel, it normally isn't based on any specific dates, we just take off. Until now. O is in school so we have limits on our time, oh no!
This week was fall break and we took advantage of it by traveling to the mountains of North Georgia. We stayed in a wonderful cabin that came complete with it's own "playground", creek filled with fish, and a pasture full of cows with moos so deep they would cause me to jump out of my skin every single time I heard one. I was a bit jumpy in those woods.
Anyway, we had a great time on this trip. It's so nice to live so close to the mountains. We went to an apple festival, picked apples at an orchard, sifted for gold and gems, attended Oktoberfest, fished, made pumpkin crafts, and rested. A- getaway ( would have been an A=) if not for my skittishness in the woods.

New Words!
E said mama yesterday! We were sitting at chik fila and he looked right at me and said mamammama!It only took him 9 months and a few days to work that one up! Of course i am following Dada and Yay... (O said mama first, followed by elmo and rob (the cat)). I am baffled as to how he is suddenly 9 months old. It is unbelivable that planning his first birthday party has already moved into my subconcious thinking...They sure do grow up fast.

Oh New Year
I don't usually make new year's resolutions. Not real ones anyway. This year is different...just in case that is the reason I never get anything done, I am making a few.
-One is to keep up with this blog. With Anna's assistance, I plan to keep this one!
-Another is to move to Atlanta.
-Getting O accepted into a part time preschool is a huge goal that looms before us. Open houses at these schools begin at the end of this month.
Those are my resolutions in a nutshell.
Now I must go to bed b/c it is very late and my little E wakes very early so he and I can watch the sun come up then he loves to go right back to bed when O wakes up.

more things to not forget
*O calls fuzz or anything he finds on the floor "bumbles." We have no idea where bumbles originated but we've picked it up as well. His brother, the little vaccuum cleaner, LOVES to find and eat bumbles.
*E is starting to babble a lot. He has been saying da da for quite some time but nothing else of substance but we think a language explosion is just around the corner. When we read to him, he talks up a storm! He's not walking yet but is starting to play around with his balance and stand alone for longer periods.

Welcome 2009
We rang in the new year in Anniston, with "unlce" jeremy. We woke up on New Year's Day and headed to Atlanta. We have plans to move to Atlanta as soon as our house sells or if we decide to rent our house out, whichever comes first. This was just a short trip to refamiliarize us with the areas we like, and to drive by pote
ntial preschools for O to see where they were located in relation to certain neighborhoods. This week was also spent working...a lot. We are trying to create a bigger online business presence and things are working well but that is creating lots of package stuffing to mail things out.O & E spent most of their week playing with their new Christmas toys. We need a larger house to house them all! O's current favorites are his bicycle, new and more exciting train tracks for his train table, and his plasma car! E's favorites are his sing along stage, his moving red train, and his stacking bugs!
O has also started wearing hats alllllllllll the time. He keeps finding funny hats and each one creates a different job for him. He has his conductor hat, his engineer hat (can you tell he's a train fan?), his pilot hat, his fireman hat, and his ambulance driver hat.That's about it for this week!
