My good pal Kristen Moss did a photo shoot for us and I wanted to show you guys how stinkin' cute my kids are! (But you have to look surprised when the Christmas cards come ;)Did you guys catch that glee episode with Gwyneth Paltrow? I LOVED it. I've decided that the mash up of Singing in the Rain and Umbrella is going to be my theme song for living in Eugene. Cause I've spoken numbers with our mortgage company several times this month and it turns out we are unable to refinance, so renting our house is out, and it's not likely we can afford to sell...in short...we're stuck. I'm still hopeful the right family will come along and give us a great offer, but I am choosing to make the best of what we've got for now :) I'm taking lots of vitamin D, got my gym pass, and I am going to find a tanning bed so I can stay sane through the winter. We are planning some remodeling and touch ups to our house that will (hopefully) add a little room. Yes, it may be raining, but I am singing gosh darn it!
In other news, I ran the EWEB half marathon with my dear pal Sara last week, and it was SO MUCH better than running a full marathon. I had a great friend to train with, and it was only half as far! It took me 2 hours and 16 minutes. Not great, but I just wanted to jog the whole time and finish. And I did.
We had the first snow of the year and there was maybe a half inch on the ground and all the schools closed! It's so funny to me, being from Canada an' all! But the kids were SO EXCITED! I've never seen Dustin so happy! They caught snowflakes on their tongues, had a snowball fight, and had some great times.
Andrew turned one. They are still looking for family to place him with, but we're hopeful we can keep him.. He just kinda fits in. Having 3 kids is hard, but I can't really remember what it was like without him now.
We had Thanksgiving with our friends the Bergesens and that was a great meal! I later had the worst Black Friday experience at Toys R Us ever, but I won't get into that now. Let's just leave it at; 5 hours of waiting in lines. Nuff said.
Anyway, Christmas time is here! We don't have anyone coming to stay with us at this point, so if you want to...we LOVE company!!!! I really mean that. I love having people to share holidays with. And we can all sing in the rain together! Woot woot!

The pictures are to die for. Dustin is so handsome! Watch out little ladies. I can almost laugh about Toys R us. Lets get tanning passes together.
P.S. Audrey has the best smile. Her eyes just light right up.
Thanks so much for letting me sleep at your house last weekend. Toys R Us was still a nightmare on Friday morning, but not a five hour one, fortunately. And all I got were hoola-hoops. They were out of the camera I was there for, of course. Oh, my heavens--those are darling pictures. The first one of Dustin is my favorite! Do we get a Christmas card?! I hope so and I will definitely still love the family picture when I get it. You guys all look amazing.
We can't refinance either.:( Every program out there is designed for those that are about to lose their houses because of non-payment. Nobody cares about the families who have continued to pay their mortgages DESPITE losing 30% of their homes' values just like the other guys. Anyway...
I'm so excited you are able to come to my party!! Is the whole family coming over to Florence? Becky will be here, too, but if you guys are interested in staying over, We'd still LOVE to have you.
Beautiful shots of you and your family!
