Lame and Nostalgic

So I got on and checked out blogs today, something I haven't done in I think 2 or 3 months, and realized I am lame. I don't know why I took a hiatus for so long. I love blogging! It just took me logging on to realize how much fun it is. Actually, i do know why I took a hiatus for so long. We are living with my parents while our house is being built, and as opposed to life in a house of our own, there is so much more to do at grandma and grandpas! And i am sure I am not the only one who has neglected the kid and the husband because there is just so much fun stuff to read and write about! Anyway, I am back. And I am committed to blogging only when the boy and the husband are sleeping and working. The other positive thing that has come from not blogging is I finally decided to figure out facebook. I have had an account for over a year and never used it. I still don't know how to use it really, but at least I check it.

So, we are halfway done building our new home! They are sheetrocking it right now, and the closer they get the less patient I get. I can't wait to be in our own place again. With a garage! And a yard! i will have to take some pictures and post them.

This morning I took out my video camera just to see what videos we have on there. We haven't transferred any videos off, ever. So I started watching recent videos of Harrison, and the further back I went, I got so nostalgic. I cannot believe how big my baby is. He isn't a baby anymore. When did that happen? His chubby little cheeks are gone. His dark blonde, long hair is now a buzz cut that makes him look much older than he really is. He learns new things every day. He dances. He says "Buuuuu...." (Like Brr, only like he can't say his R's.) when we go outside into the cold. He waves and gives kisses. He points to everything and says "Dat?" He cleans. Everything. Any time he sees a janitor at the mall or a busboy at a restaurant, he is fascinated. Every time he hears somebody get surface cleaner out of the cupboard, he is right there demanding that he gets to do it. He sweeps. This morning my mom was vaccuming and he followed her around the house the whole time going "Whoa!" I wonder if this cleaning obsession will last?? I won't bet on it. It is so much fun to see him learn new things and see what he loves, but I can't help but miss his little baby body and little baby sounds. Here are a few pictures of what we have been doing since we have been at grandma and grandpa's house.

He is so stinkin cute! I can't get over how big he's getting!! I wish the cleaning stage would last.. I personally like cleaning.. but kiersti, oh man she just doesn't care one bit! But maybe he will! :) And with prom, Soulja boy (i'm not sure how to spell it either!) was the rumor. but now some other guy named Maino is coming! We as officers are trying to make a decision, but we are planning on having him come. It's crazy how rumors in high school start up! It gets a little frustrating and then the blame gets put on us for not having soulja boy. But I think it's going to be a very fun prom! I'm not so excited that U92 is coming.. but what can ya do?

He is SO cute! You can see why I get baby hungry...they don't stay babies long enough!!
Looks like you might have a future janitor on your hands :) I would encourage it cause at least maybe you will have a good little helper in a year or two! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR HOUSE!!!

Welcome back to the blog world my friend! Glad that you're back :)
Harrison is so cute- we must have a play date soon now that we live a lot closer to each other! I think they'd have a ball at the treehouse or something...or outside if it EVER warms back up. I love that he says "dat" Addie says "wassat?" and "dis!" (this) when she wants something. Isn't it awesome how they learn new words and sounds all the time?
It is sad that they aren't babies anymore though....sniff sniff... but at least they're a lot of fun right?! Keep on bloggin.... I know what you mean though. I usually blog when Addie is napping or in bed for the night.

Your little boy is so cute! I can't wait for Noelle to start doing fun little things, but at the same time I do want her to stay a baby forever :) How exciting for your house to be halfway done! You'll be moving in soon!
