A few things to share....

1. I had my 24 week OB appointment today and everythings going great. My Dr. couldn't get the babies heart beat at first because the little thing wouldn't hold still. She was in the process of talking to me and trying to find the heart beat, and had to keep stopping and saying...."Wow this is an active one here!" or "I can't believe how much this one is moving, is it always like this?" She has no idea.

2. Not to toot my own horn, but I made a Ham today that was to die for. It was seriously the best Ham I've ever had. I found a recipe online and had a ham (boneless, not seasoned) in the freezer for months trying to decide how I wanted to cook it. All the recipe calls for is 2 Cups of Brown Sugar, Ham and a Crock Pot. I put 1 1/2 Cup of the Brown sugar on the bottom of the crock pot, then patted the rest around the ham and placed it in the crock pot to cook on low for 8+ hours. It was the most tender, flavorful, delicious ham ever. Poor Geoff can't eat pork or he gets very very sick, so we'll just have to enjoy it all for him. ( Luckily he was working till 11:30pm tonight so it's not as though we all ate and made him watch!)

3. Just had to mention these few things that kids have said recently about Christmas, that have made us laugh out loud.

Kaylyn- I asked her today what she wanted Santa to bring her. She responded with "I want a car". I assumed she meant a Barbie car or maybe a girly pink remote control car, so when I mentioned those things she looked at me like 'are you dumb', she said "no, I have a Barbie car, I want a car like you.....you know like the one parked in the garage that I can drive, and then you can sit in the back." I was laughing and she was acting offended. I'm scared for her to turn 16 if this is what I can expect!!!

Hayden-I had just completed some nativity craft projects and then lined up on the table and Hayden came over to look at them. He started asking questions like "Where's Mary?" and "There's the Baby Jesus." Then he asked "who's the guy holding the stick?" and I had said that it was a shephard. His next question was "Where's the German?" Geoff and I looked at each other and just busted up laughing. My only though is he was thinking of German Shephards (as in the dog), since we had watched a show on dogs a week before. It still makes me laugh when I think of his face, all serious and confussed.

Oh the things kids say!!
