Hello
No, I haven't forgotten about this blog. We've just had SO much going on... First grandma's surgery, then Ian got sick, then Aaron got sick (http://the4thvandervort.wordpress.com), then Ian got an ear infection and mommy got sick. It's just been bananas around here.
We're pining for spring. We're desperate. We just NEED a change.
Anyway, Ian will soon be "turning" 22 months old. That's pretty darn close to 2 years. Ay yay yay!
I took this on Tuesday, when it was 65 degrees in Pittsburgh!

The Picture Game
I was tagged in the picture game. The object of the picture tag is to:
1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same.
Ok, I have to admit that I cheated a little bit. Only because the 4th picture in the 4th folder was the picture of Ian in the dryer. You've already seen it. So I picked the 4th picture in the 5th folder. This is a picture of Ian in his car seat on the way up for my parent's anniversary party in July. Not a whole lot to explain...
I hate tagging people in stuff like this, so I will say, if you want to do it yourself, go ahead, but if not, it doesn't hurt my feelings!

A Litte Discombobulated
Ian has had a busy week. (...er... 2-3 weeks) Mommy & Daddy have decided it's time to move closer to daddy's work so that we can see him more! (reduce the commuting time by an hour & 20 min every day.)
We've been preparing the house to go on the market, which means some changes for Ian.
Many of you may remember his bedroom, the "Americana" theme that we selected just for him and lovingly prepared before his birth. Well, it is being destroyed as I type. Our realtor recommended (as we were expecting) we "neutralize" it by painting it a plain color.
Yes, we knew this day would come, but we're still sad that we had to do it.
No worries, though, I saved some of the border to frame and hang as a decoration/memory.
Ian has felt the pressure a bit, I think, and has been having some difficult nights, but we're trying to keep things as "normal" as possible for him. We're anxious to get this house sold and move to a new place so that we can get back to "normal" and start making our nest somewhere else. Please pray for a quick and easy process.
Ian is also preparing to hold vigil at home on Tuesday, January 13, while Grandma Joanne goes in to UPMC Presbyterian for a double valve replacement & double bypass surgery. Brother Aaron will have to keep mommy and grandpa company at the hospital, but Ian gets to stay home and spend the whole day with daddy! We'd appreciate prayers for grandma as well.
Until next time, enjoy this beautiful, blessed winter we're having!
Bye Bye Room

Christmas
Ian enjoyed the holiday. He liked the gatherings, food, presents, etc. We most enjoyed watching him enjoy it, and enjoying our most special presents this year, Aaron & our new nephew Asher, born on Dec. 22nd.
Here are a few of my favorites from the week:

Ian...Where ARE you??
Ian has started hiding. He thinks it is so much fun to hide wherever he can find a spot and just play quietly. Sometimes it really freaks us out. Like this morning...
He had been playing downstairs in the playroom by himself. He got pretty quiet so I went to check on him. I couldn't find him anywhere. I started checking all of his normal hiding spots and he wasn't anywhere to be found. I started to really get worried and then I heard noises in the laundry room. I pushed open the door and...

Doing "Christmassy" things
Yesterday we took the boys to the aviary to see Santa. Ian was satisfied with just SEEING him, so, we didn't really get a good picture. I think he told Santa that he wanted a train table, but Santa told him he'd have to wait until his birthday... ;-) So he asked for 2T sized pajamas and baby gap denim overalls to wear and balls to play with.
Ian and Daddy fed the lorakeets yesterday, for the first time ever, and Ian thought it was great! He LOVED the aviary! Good thing our Buffalo Zoo membership gets us in for free!
Sleeping at night has been going great. Napping is more of a challenge, especially when daddy is home, but he's getting it.
We put up the tree last night and Ian loves it. He even successfully helped put some ornaments on the tree.
He also likes his Little People Nativity set.
We're anxiously awaiting Christmas this year. It's the first one we've spent "at home" in many years! We can't wait to hang stockings and put out cookies and milk...and see what the big guy leaves for us!
Don't forget to check out Brother Aaron's site too!
