Celebration 2010

Audrey's school puts on Christmas performance each year.  Here some photos from her show last Thursday.  Audrey was very excited and we are very proud of her!

Marley Kitty

Joe was working late last week entertaining clients while his boss was in town. He came home Thursday night at 10:30 and a little kitty cat followed him inside, before we could stop this darn cat Audrey spotted the cat and was in love.  Yes, she was still awake at 10:30 (don't ask)!
The next morning Audrey was so sad that the kitty was not with us (I am talking super, duper sad).  I did some research at work and found out that a local vet gives vaccines on Tuesday and Thursday, then I called Joe and I left work early.  We picked up the girls went and ate our favorite dinner and then made a stop at the pet store where we picked up some supplies. After we returned home we waited patiently until little the little kitty arrived. 1 hour later we let the cat into our house and Marley kitty was given the Ward name. Audrey suggested that we name the cat "kitty ward"  but Joe and I decided on a different name.  Audrey has been watching "Marley and Me" almost every night for the past week, so I felt that the name Marley would be appropriate.  I took a picture yesterday that I will post soon.  The girls are in love!

The end of 2011

I have settled into my job. I love what I do at work and the product that we deliver each month.  I love my husband and how he supports me as a working mom and wife.  I love my girls, they bring a smile to my face every day.

Christmas is a few weeks away. We have decorated our Christmas tree and our house is a winter wonderland...California style.  Audrey had so much fun picking out the tree on Friday night.  She was so excited and happy!  Joe and I got enough kisses this past weekend to last us a life time (really just until next week :)).  "mommy I love the Christmas tree, it is so pretty".  "daddy I want to stay with the Christmas tree tonight, it will be lonely".  I also learnt that Olivia can reach up past twice her measured height.  Yesterday she was playing and became too quite.  I walked up stairs up to find her with a glass ornament in her hand, BROKEN, her poor little finger was bleeding.  She is my trooper and was happy to receive the attention to apply a band aid.
All weekend we played Christmas music and decorated the house. It was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time.

Christmas gifts are under the tree and girls are becoming excited....We are so excited for the Christmas holiday.

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a wonderful holiday weekend. I hit snooze 4 times this morning.  I really did not want to get out of bed. Thanksgiving 2011 was a success.  The girls had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving with the Romo side of our family.  Audrey and Olivia had a blast running around my parents house in the circle that connects all of the rooms.  The two girls slept in LATE on Friday recovering from the fun and chaos on Thursday. Olivia likes yams, while Audrey is strictly a pumpkin pie gal. I noticed for the first time how much the girls enjoy and rely on each other's company. Audrey became so sad and lonely while Olivia was napping.  It warms my heart to see them love one another like they do.  Thursday ended late and we spend the next day at home watching football with my family again.  It was nice to spend time with everyone in the comfort of my own home.  The girls of course took advantage of this situation and make a huge mess in their bedroom!
This was an incredibly busy weekend for us!
