Almost!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am getting my computer back tonight! Words can not describe the excitement!!! Turns out it wasn't the fan that was broken (what we thought) but the sensor that detects if the fan is working or not. So simple fix, turn the sensor off, and we're back in business. AND we got it tuned up added some ram and ta-da! Tonight I can look forward to setting it all back up and uploading the 200 plus photos anxiously waiting on my camera. We've had a fun weekend, following a chaotic week. Friday night we went to ZooLights at the Stone Zoo with Nathan's parents (our new holiday tradition with them) and then out for dinner at Polcari's for some can't beat Pizzeria Regina Pizza. The kids loved ZooLights, but this was definitely Brody's year for it. He could have watched this one train display for hours. It's so much fun to see the wonder and amazement in the kids faces. It makes me love the holiday season. Keira had her first bit of pizza that night, and didn't seem too impressed, but then again she had already filled up on the warm bread appetizer.
Saturday we had NOTHING, yes that's correct, a big fat ZERO to do, so I took advantage, cleaned, relaxed with the family. I even got to go to my friend's house for a Lia Sophia party and got a free necklace... can't beat that! We had a family movie night and watched Night at the Museum 2 (really cute) and all in all it was a wonderful night.
Sunday we woke up early and played in the few inches of snow that we got overnight. The boys stayed out for a little over two hours. Keira and I called it quits and watched from the porch after 45 minutes. We all came in, made some wonderful hot chocolate and finished up some cleaning before heading out to Ty's basketball game (another loss, but only by 15 points this time.)
Keira has learned some new tricks as well the past few days. She has mastered going from crawling back to a sitting position, standing on her own, and is getting lightening fast crawling. She seems to alternate between the army crawl (only she does it with one leg crouched, one leg straight) and the typical crawl, depending on the surface of the floor. She is getting more and more vocal every day. She is also getting very daring with her cruising, thinking she can let go and walk on her own.
I will GLADLY be uploading a slideshow of all of the pictures from before Thanksgiving until now sometime tomorrow.
Nate's school's holiday party is tomorrow, and Wednesday his class is singing at an elderly home. (It's another very busy week!)
