Lucianas first Christmas!

Lucianas first ever Christmas was snowy....how lucky can you get?

Now she'll expect it to be like this every year,

We stayed a few days at Grandmas house to guard the presents.

In one of the pictures Lucy waves a clinched fist at me as I approached the tree as if to say "don't even think about it!"

She's been hilarious this whole week. She's growing so fast and we cannot figure out why she smiles and laughs so much. Not that we mind.

Lucy got toys and more clothes from Santa. She has been enjoying the abundance of English premier league soccer on t.v. She seems to enjoy watching it. I don't know if its the colors on the screen and the noise of the crowd or if she genuinely apprecietes the best sport on earth!...probably.

As for the snow...well its started to melt but the roads around here are still pretty bad. Vickie is irritated because she can't go running still. The snow is beautiful but it really slows life down.

We're looking foreward to the new year. Lots of projects and soon a big change for me with work...I'll keep you posted on that! Very exciting year ahead!

The beloved Montero!

Just wanted to give out a big shout to my beloved Mitsubishi Montero . He has been amazing in this snow situation we've been having. We've been able to get around and even managed to drive up our street which had been closed off by the city of Duvall. Outstanding machine I have to say!

Winter blast!

Its official..we will be having a white Christmas. As you can all see it dumped down yesterday and the forecast has more flurries for this week. Its beautiful but I can't get to work..which is a bad thing. Its also freezing cold so nothings going to melt anytime soon. The car is currently stuck and so tonight hopefully a couple of friends are coming over to help us move it.

Unfortunately we were smart enough to buy a house on a steep hill and its a little difficult getting down it in conditions like these.

White Christmas..maybe?

Its beautifaul outside our frontdoor right now as you can all see. We really hope it stays. Lucys first Christmas fast approaches and we think it would be cool if it stayed like this....not that she'd appreciate it. Its all a bit icy though and a bit tricky driving down the hill.

If you're wondering what the eye patch is all about..well I just had another cornea transplant today..and this time I was awake for the whole thing..wild! Hopefully when it heals and I have the stitches taken out I'll be able to see properly. Vick and Lucy are looking after me though and making sure I don't lift anything too heavy.

3 months old.!

We just took these pictures yesterday. Luciana loves taking baths. She spends about 15 mins every night splashing around. We think it helps her sleep well at night. It must be working because we put her down at 8pm and unfortunately we don't see her till 6 the next morning.

As you can see Lucy is smiling....again. She's a very happy baby. She always has lots of smiles especially when she wakes up. In this pictuer she is showing her delight with the new camo outfit.

Tonight Mum went out with some friends so Lucy and I stayed at home. While I cleaned the kitchen Lucy watched Fox soccer report and sky sports news...she does seem to like watching football..mainly highlights.
