We are Back!

So I broke a promise I made awhile back about keeping our BLOG up to date. Sorry!!! :(
I guess I never realized how much my life was going to be consumed by Dental Hygiene, Brandon & Colin!!!!
What is new with us? Where to start!! Brandon still has a job at SDI despite this horrible economy... which I am thankful for everyday. Although he cannot work the overtime, and he is not receiving those nice bonus checks, we are still lucky for what we have. Brandon just finished up a job of insulating our attic. His Daddy Jeff and Brother, Justin, helped us out as well. The house is nice and toasty!! :) I think the cold weather is making Brandon go stir crazy though since he cannot be outside in his garage working on projects.
I have 2 weeks left of my 1st semester of Dental Hygiene school and I LOVE IT!! In January, I start taking patients- so PLEASE HELP ME OUT!! IPFW does takes dental insurance as well. I need a certain amount of patients to clean and radiographs to take each semester and I do not want an incomplete. I am also going to be babysitting again during the summer time. If you know any kiddies that need a sitter- refer them on over to me. :)
Colin is trying to talk up a storm. He is just all over the place- really turning into a MoNsTeR!! He has a temper so watch out! He has to have things his way or the highway. Colin has been sick a lot since this cold weather has come. I just pray each morning that he wakes up healthy! He just loves going over to the neighbors house when I am in class. She has been babysitting Colin. She has 5 children, with 4 of them in school during the day, and one at home. Jayden is 3 years old- his nickname is 'Bugga.' Colin is constantly saying 'Bugga' and wanting to go play with him. Angie (my neighbor) says they play all day long!
He is starting to get my side of the families height. From his 15 month appointment to his 18 month appointment- he grew almost 4 inches! He is just so handsome- like his Daddy.
Brandon & I have his Christmas work party at the Grand Wayne Center tomorrow night. We always spend the night at the Marriott which is hooked onto the Grand Wayne Center. It's so much fun to get dressed up and have some fun together.
Christmas is almost here and word on the street is that Santa has spoiled Colin this year!! :) We decorated the house and Colin says 'Ho Ho Ho' to anything that has to do with Christmas. He will not say Santa, Snowman, etc... just Ho Ho Ho! It is so cute. We bought a huge Christmas tree to replace our wimpy one we had in previous years. It is only decorated half way- just out of arms reach of Colin. We look forward to getting to see a lot of our families at gatherings since we don't see most of them throughout the year. It's a busy time so we will see how it goes!!
Alright- I have talked enough... so enjoy all of these pictures!!!
