S'mores

Some pictures of the past few months

We have been busy in our house. Lots of new things going on and lots of technical difficulties. Our computer has gone to the electronic graveyard. So that means I have no way to update & upload all of our pictures from Feb/March. So I'm going to just give you what I have on my wonderful IPhone.

Christmas & a new year...

I'm a little late on sharing our Christmas photos--oops.  But I was enjoying the last half of December with Savannah & Matt so I'm sure you will forgive me:-). 

We had a fantastic Christmas! Savannah really understood what was going on this year & was so excited about Christmas morning.  She left cookies & coffee &a thank you note for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.  Santa left her a note and an empty plate:-).

We had a great Christmas morning hanging out in our PJs & playing. Then my family came over for lunch & the afternoon.  Matt's family stopped by that evening so we really packed in the celebration!

Savannah got lots of fun stuff like a bike, slinky, new clothes & shoes, a doll, a fishing pole, craft supplies, & books.  I'd say she had a great Christmas & we were thrilled to be able to be closer to family &  friends this year. 

So far 2011 has been busy.  Matt has been traveling 10 of the 12 days so far this month but that's the end until after baby Adilyn.  We are excited to celebrate his birthday with him & well yes, of course, eat a lot of cake:-).

Savannah has been doing fantastic at potty training.  I'd say we are 85-90% there.  I'm thankful for less diapers & how quickly she has taken to it. 

I GOT MY BRACES OFF!! Can you tell I am just a little excited?!  Unfortunately, my orthodontist took one of my major fillings out & cracked the enamel on 2 of my teeth.  But everything is fixed & feeling much better now.  Savannah was fascinated by my teeth when I came home from the orthodontist.  She kept saying "mommy have new teeth."  Very funny how the 2 year old mind works.

I think that's it from the Purdy household.  We have about 5 1/2 weeks until the due date so we will keep you posted on any news.  Hope you are enjoying 2011 &  have a great week!

All Bundled Up...

Savannah & Matt had a fun weekend of playing in the snow.  Although we got nothing like our friends in MN(& we are very thankful that we only have a few inches), it was still enough to make a snowman, sled, shovel & just throw around.

 Where did my hands go?

 If you can make out the blur of Izzy's tail, you can see everyone was excited to play in the snow.

 Snowman on the left & Izzy defending our yard on the right.  Izzy barked & growled at the poor snowman until the freezing rain crumbled it. 

 She waddled when she walked like a penguin--very cute:-)

 She  loves her daddy!

We also decorated Christmas cookies.  After 6 years I have finally mastered the Bucher Family Sugar Cookies.  I'm sure that baby Adilyn will enjoy eating them for real next Christmas:-).  Savannah had a very hard time understanding we are not going to eat every cookie just make them look "pretty"(or as edible as a 2 yr old can decorate).  Matt called dibs on all her cookies because they were drenched in icing:-).  

 Then she found the bowl of red hots

This is the face I got after explaining that we weren't going to eat all the cookies.  Not liking our approach:-).  She learned from someone, ahem-I have no clue who that was, that if you "break" one then well you have to eat it.  We managed to only have 2 cookies out of 4 dozen so I call that a win.

Hope everyone is having a great week & staying safe & warm!  

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

(View from our front door.  Yes, I know MN friends this is just a dusting of the white stuff :-D)

The snow is falling.  To my surprise, I am actually pretty excited about it.  We went outside today & caught snowflakes.  Savannah loves the snow.  She likes to sing "Wet it Snow, Wet it Snow & Fwosty the Snowman."  It's pretty cute in her 2 year old voice as she hops back & forth & bobs her head. 


Christmas baking has begun in our house.  So far Savannah & I have made 4 batches of chocolate-walnut fudge & peanut butter fudge,  4 dozen ginger cookies, & 3 dozen buckeyes.  Our neighbors were pretty excited about Christmas treats & Matt's co-workers are getting there treats next week.  On the list this week is decorating & making sugar cookies.  Last year Savannah just ate the icing & cookies we gave her to decorate (smart kid) & I imagine it will be the same this year. 

Thankfully we have all of our Christmas shopping done & we are finishing up the wrapping today.  It's nice to know that its all done & we can just enjoy the rest of December.  I really don't want to set foot in another mall or department store in 2010:-).

Our tree looks so little in the 12 ft room:-).  Oh well maybe next year Santa will have a bigger tree to put gifts under. 

Last week at 27 weeks.

The newest stocking on our mantle for baby Adilyn Grace.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday afternoon & great week!

Some pictures from November...

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away! This time of year seems to fly by too fast, but I am looking forward to all the excitement of 2011. Here are a few pictures from this month so far...

 Savannah enjoying some Nutella or as she calls it chocolate peanut butter:-)

She creates a big mess but its worth it because she LOVES it.

Our Turkey cake pops that didn't really turn out:-/  But they were yummmy

She had fun helping mommy vote:-)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

AZ Trip

Matt had a business trip to Scottsdale, AZ last week & I tagged along. It was our first trip away from Savannah ever. It was very hard to leave her and the first 24 hrs were the worst, but we had a great time. Savannah had a great time with Nana, Papaw & Uncle Darby at home too:-).

Here are a few pictures from our trip...
