First Snow

Kate and Max enjoyed their first snow in both Durham and Greensboro, NC this year! They both woke up to snow falling after an afternoon nap and they were very curious about the flakes as they watched through the window. It was super cute. We took them outside to play (i.e. sit) in the snow that actually accumulated in Greensboro. I do not think they understood why they had cold, wet butts...

Good-Bye House

Today, we are posting our last blog entry from our very first home. Peter and I moved into our townhouse five years ago, November 23, 2004! We have enjoyed many things about the house, neighborhood, and city of Durham. Mostly, we enjoyed making our nest a very special place filled with wonderful memories and lots of love. Our children may not remember their very first home, the nursery where many of their "firsts" have happened, the living room where their moses baskets sat on the coffee table the first few months of their lives, the family room floor where they had tummy time, the kitchen where they started eating solid foods, the doorways that held their jump-n-go, the bathroom where they took their first bath, the hallways that they crawled through, the stairs they used to practice pulling-up on, or the closets they would play in. We will forever remember our first home and I am more confident than ever the happiness and love of our family will fill our next home with even more unforgettable memories.

We Love Bath Time

Have I mentioned that we love the bathtub?

Seriously, the kids enjoy every part from getting naked to drying off.
It is a guaranteed happy fest!

Swings

I took the kids to a nearby park the other day. I put them in the bucket swings and let them go. Oh my Gosh, they squealed and giggled the entire time. We are definitely going back to the park very soon!

Santa

I thought it was my job to take the kids to see Santa. So I found a Santa with a real beard which made me very happy. I was very proud of them for sitting in line and hopping on Santa's lap. Unfortunately, as soon as I backed away the lips started quivering...

First Hair Cut

Max and I had an afternoon together. We went to my hair stylist for Max's first hair cut (trim)! I was so proud of him. He was very social with all the ladies and little boys in the shop, sat in the chair like a big boy, allowed the lady to trim his hair with no tears or unexpected moves, and sat quietly while I got my hair cut. My little buddy!

We Are Moving

I have inadvertently caused confusion about moving. So here is the scoop...

We found a house in Cary in August. It was just being built and we got to do a lot of the selections - LOVE IT! We put our house on the market and it sold in five weeks! We closed on the townhouse November 25 and are renting back until Dec. 19. We do not close on the Cary house until January 15; therefore, we are moving in with Mom and Dad Kranz in Greensboro for this period of time which overlaps with the holidays.

We are super excited about this move and can hardly wait for Kate and Max to explore their new house and make lots of fun new memories.
