So I haven't blogged in a while BUT a lot has gone on so I feel as if I deserve a pardon. We had Christmas, New Years, A trip to Disney World, Zach's Birthday, Valentine's Day, Demi's Birthday, My Birthday....And, did I mentioned we MOVED on my Birthday??? And, Baby Witt is due March 12!!
For Christmas one of the highlights is that I got a SURPRISE NEW CAMERA from my WONDERFUL IN LAWS to replace the aforementioned camera lost in a blog post below. Now at least I can post pics again, and not from my phone :) Hence the reason why I only have a few pics posted below (some from my phone) to document our very blessed Christmas that we celebrated this year. Before Christmas Day at about noon, I had no camera. I posted a pic of the new camera too :)
Our Bethlehem Traveler Christmas Roller Skates
New Camera!
Sisters- Daley and Demi
Christmas Aubie Sweatshirts for Disney
And an Auburn Basketball Game
New Year's was about as thrilling as New Year's can be at 7 or 8 mos pregnant. We barely made it awake long enough to watch the ball drop on TV at 11pm CST! HA! No pics to document all the excitement : /
Disney World was about as AUsome as Disney World can be! We went to watch Aubie compete in the 2012 National Mascot Championship. OF WHICH HE WON! The girls had a blast at all the parks and Daley especially had a great time watching Aubie compete. She loved watching the cheerleaders perform at their National Competition too, unfortunately by this time Mommy was exhausted and could not stay any longer. I did promise her, next year though, that we would drive our own car to the competition and stay as long as she wanted to! I used to go to Nationals for Dance Competition so this is right up my alley and I would love nothing more than to share this time with her. I could watch for hours!
Aubie Won 1st Place Our First Night at Disney
Character Pics Below.....Demi WOULD NOT Participate in Character Pics!
Character Breakfast
Demi was under the weather most of the trip:( This was by far her best day!!!
Zach and the girls in front of Cinderella's Castle. Very Far Away! Not great pic taking on my part, but an important one to get nonetheless.
Right after our trip to Disney Zach celebrated his 31st Birthday. Birthdays are not what they used to be with two little ones running the show. We did get a cookie cake to celebrate, although it was chosen by Daley and probably not what Daddy would've picked :) Happy 31st Birthday Zach!
Next was Valentine's Day. I unfortunately did not get any pics of the girls opening up their Valentine's gifts (probably was afraid a pic of our boxes from packing might show up), but I did get these lovely flowers delivered to my work by a very special husband!
Cookies the Girls and I made for Valentines
A few weeks after Zach's Birthday, Demi celebrated her 2nd Birthday! Luckily I had planned it in enough advance to be at A Play Place, since our house was on the market and I was "hoping" it would sell and we didn't know where we would be. And guess what......we sold our house too! Someone came out and put an offer on our house the first week of February with the request that we be out February 27th. SUPER FAST taking into consideration that I am due to have baby #3 March 12 :) So, while our house was in disarray we were able to pull off a "destination" Birthday party for Demi Doo and I think it went off without a hitch! Well I say that, but this is excluding the fact that there was a helium shortage and I had to drive all over town to fill up the balloons :)
Most recently, with everything taken into consideration that could have possibly gone wrong along the way, we bought a new house and moved in on my Birthday! We bought in Brook Highland which is a good ways down 280 from Trussville and much closer for Zach as he is travelling to Auburn/Opelika more and more for his law practice. I LOVE THE NEW HOUSE! I have had so much fun getting everything in order and unpacking and decorating, even though decorating is really not my thing. All while being 9 mos pregnant at this point :) The reason for the purchase of the new house was 1st; to have more room as we are expecting baby #3 and 2nd; to get Zach a little closer to Lee County. We have succeeded! And, while we have yet to totally unpack with a baby due in 5 days, we are sleeping there and it is in living condition.

Flowers my Wonderful Mom had Delivered to my New House on My Birthday!
A mouthful of a blog post for sure, but our next post will be in a bout a week with pics of Baby Witt! YAY!
Love,
Lindsey
