Lots of stuff.... :)

Almost 2 months since the last post...whoa! I just realized I never even posted about Christmas or Aiden's birthday!! Now that's pretty bad..... I guess a bulleted list is definitely in order...

*We are all doing pretty good, just trying to STOP passing around little sick germies :( UGGGHHHH! I usually never succumb to whatever sickness the boys have, but this year I have been hit hard. I hate it, because I "don't get sick" if you know what I mean, so to have had strep, a cold, & and ear infection in the last month or so has been rotten!

*I have had a few photography sessions lately (camimarianophotography.blogspot.com), which I absolutely LOVE! I shot a couple of newborn sessions....so fun!! Business is picking up a little, so that is great! I definitely don't have time to be a "full-time" photographer right now, but I just love every minute behind the camera, so I would NOT mind scheduling a few more gigs!! ;) I do have "fashion photo shoot" in March with my friend Janet for her clothing.accessory business Dimples and Dots, and a wedding booked in April. I am definitely looking forward to those :)

Micah is good. He hasn't been traveling as much as he would like this year, and although I know that has been taxing on him, he has been busy filling his uncharacterized "free time" with creatiing lots of graphic design projects and websites. The ministry situation isn't ideal by any means, but it has allowed him to tap into another side of his creative abilities and talents! We just continue to cling to God's faithfulness and provision during this rough patch and we know, without a doubt, that we will be taken care of!!

*The boys are doing GREAT!
......Seth is learning so much and I am amazed at how quickly he picks things up. He just loves to learn and is so proud of himself when he accomplishes something new! We are working on writing his name and he does pretty well on the last 3 letters, but the "S" seems to be giving him some big time trouble, but we will just keep on working! I want to maybe start some basic phonics with him to see how he does with that!! He is still my thoughtful, sweet, compassionate, boy, but is quickly learning the "things" that push his brother's buttons. And boy is he pushing them!!

.......Aiden is, well, still my little fireball! I just love the passion he has in everything, even if his flare for the dramatic side often drives me NUTS!! He turned 3 in January, which I just absolutely cannot believe!! He is our little music man and anytime daddy is playing guitar or checking out music on the web, you can bet Aiden makes a B-line to the office. Micah has recently shown him some Switchfoot music videos and given him a cd of theirs to listen to in his room. He will get out his own electric guitar, strike the musician stance, and jam out to the "Rain Song," as he calls it. It's just too precious to watch his eyes light up and feet start tapping any time music plays!! He is quickly following in the footsteps of his daddy, Kuya (uncle) Bashi, and Ate (aunt) Rachie.

Here are some pics of my handsome boys :) :)
