seriously??

Was my last post really in November?

Well, we are alive and well. Holidays, vacation and now school has kept us moving nonstop.

That is about as much effort I have left to give tonight to my blog!

Good night all!

52 Piece Project

My sister is an amazing artist! I have a few of her pieces in my house and just drool over her website and walls. She is starting a new fabulous give away for those of us who can't afford cheesy Hobby Lobby prints, let alone original fine art. Every week for a year she is going to give a way an original piece. How cool is that?! Check out her project's blog and website! Her work looks great online but the pictures don't do the pieces justice. They are beautiful!

Lucy!

After 6 very cute and handsome grandsons, we finally welcomed a granddaughter into the Dixon family! Lucy Elaine was born to Tiff and Rick on 11/25 (Thanksgiving Day) weighing 6lbs 8 oz and was 19.25 inches. She is so beautiful and we are going to spoil her silly!

Christmas Crafting!

Liam made a count down snowflake chain! What a mess! I think we will be finding glitter for months to come.

poor baby

There were some issues when the drs tried to circumcise Declan as a newborn. Long story short, his foreskin was so swollen it was cutting off blood circulation to the head- which is a problem if we want grandbabies. Our pediatrician called in a pediatric surgeon who rushed over to check Delcan out. He made a slit the length of the the foreskin so release the pressure. We had to wait for him to heal completely before we could try again. So poor kid just got circumcised (11/23). I went in with him and he did great. He was really fussy the rest of the day but has been fine since. I much prefer doing the procedure when they are newborns! I think it is easier on everyone. I am just thankful there was no lasting damage and we were able to get it taken care of.

2 months!

I can't believe he is two months already!!!! At his well baby check up he weighed 13lbs 13 oz and is 24 inches long. He is already filling out some of his 6-9 month clothes- ridiculous!

Happy Real Halloween!

10/31/10

Justin had to work on the real Halloween so we spent it in Loveland at my parents. The cousins came over and we carved more pumpkins and ate candy! My boys were boxes of cereal. Liam was his favorite, Cookie Crisp and Declan was Lucky Charms
