Stayin' Alive

OMW!!! (Oh My Word)
I've said it before and I'll say it again..... I'M SO BUSY!
We moved to a new house (that we LOVE) and things have just never slowed down.
Drake is getting older by the second. A funny story for you; Drake was saying his bedtime prayers the other night and he asked to "help us hunt for lions, tigers and bears" and "please keep daddy safe from the spiders and snakes at work" and "help us enjoy the food" DISCLAIMER: We don't let our child eat right before bed, so why he wants to "enjoy the food" at that time is beyond me. Drake is so funny and he's always good for a laugh!
Photography has been kicking my TRASH! I've had a lot of shoots and a lot of classes. But I'm loving it!
CJ and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary on Nov 11th. I also had a wedding to shoot that day/night and so I was in the dog house for just a little bit :) He got over it. lol. We went to Yellowstone Nation Park in September as an early anniversary get-a-way. We had a blast. I'll create a post all about that trip soon, I hope.
This house that we love so much has a really small spot for a fridge. That being said, our fridge is 5 inches too wide. We've had to put it out in the garage, and we've been walking back and forth ever since. We went looking for fridges this Black Friday weekend but all the sales are on these huge stainless steel economy size refrigerators. I don't need one very big, nor do I want something fancy and expensive. We might resort to an ice box or something.
We put up our Christmas tree last night and it looks great! Another story about Drake; CJ went hunting yesterday morning and I was feeling rather lazy, so Drake and I just laid around in our PJ's all day. Well CJ came home and we all took a nap and when we woke up I mentioned to CJ that we should put our tree up. CJ agreed but neither one of us moved. Well leave it to a child to remind you how special things are. Drake jumped off the couch and looked at CJ and I with great big eyes and a ton of excitement and said "I have an idea! Why don't we put the tree up together!" CJ and I could do nothing but smile. Drake was absolutely right, we should do it together! Christmas, or any holiday for that matter, is so much more fun when you have a child around! Drake is totally in the Christmas spirit, and that means asking for a lot of things as well. After almost every commercial Drake will say "I'd like to get that" or "I think I need that mom" This kid has a lesson or two coming his way :) On that same note; Whenever Drake sees a commercial for anything girlie, whether it's a Barbie, an Easy Bake Oven or even a trampoline commercial with a girl jumping on it, Drake will say "I'd like to get that for Addi" Addi is his cousin, the only girl cousin he has, so I guess he wants to spoil her. My little energized bunny has a super big heart!
