2011...A Great Year

Christmas Vacation

A day after Christmas and here is the Griswald Dubow recap...

• It was the first time since being married that the Dubows did not travel.  Christmas was celebrated in Haverhill with Tom, Karen, Molly and Chris (Molly's friend).  It was great time, the kids and adults had a blast. 

• Joe gave everyone gift cards for x-mas....Amy told him this was boring and to get creative so he put the car is Bilz Boxes.  Not able to open, not able to use the gift card.  Some people were better than others at it.

• Good thing Molly and Chris like kids because Amy and Joe pawned the kids on them while they hung out...just kiddin.  The kids were all over Aunt Molly and Chris.  Fist bumps all around.

• We did some intense moving watching....Cars 2 and Tinkerbell.

•  The new Fireplace kept us warm on Christmas Eve.

• You will notice that several pictures have booze in them.  It started early with Bloody Marys.  Life was good on X-Mas

A few pictures by Amanda Feagle

A few weeks ago we had our Christmas pictures done by Amanda Feage, my sister's sister in-law (see if you can follow that one!).  Here is a sneak peek...

How to have a conversation with a four year old.

Sorry for the direction of the video, but I could watch this conversation over and over again.  How long did it take you to figure out what they were talking about. 

Its been awhile....

We know, we know....we are not the best bloggers.  It was late September when we last posted on the blog and it wasn't much....the length of the post, not our sweet little Cakie.  We are using the "busy" excuse......So here is an attempt to improve on our recent performance.

Since we have been "busy" we thought it would be a good idea to you give you stalkers a brief run down of what we have been up to over the past couple of months (in bullet point form).

• Joe is finishing up school...only 4 more classes left.  
• Both Papa and Coco (separately) visited last month.  They were supposed to visit at the same time and watch the kids while Amy surprised Joe with a weekend away....but Joe ruined the surprise by not writing his plans on the calendar....but hey, Amy did not write the surprise weekend on the calender either.
• We made a visit back to Michigan to visit Grandpa and Papa.  Good times.
• We are knee deep in urine while Kate is learning that she needs to sit on the potty to pee....you can't pee out the belly button. 
• We are in the process of buying another house.  Only a structurally unsound foundation wall, potentially  chemical drenched soil and a broken furnace stand in our way of closing by December 23rd. 
• It was our last pick-up of the season from the CSA today. Kinda sad,  Grabbed a bunch of apples from the farm and I am making Joe's world famous apple pie while I write this blog. 
• When the kids are older and can read, they are going to find out by reading this post that Joe ate all the good candy and left Darth Vader and Minnie Mouse with Dots and Tootsie Rolls. 
• Finally got to use our generator...for THREE STRAIGHT DAYS!!!  Joe was very happy in the investment. 
• Amy is dominating the 5K race circut and getting in great shape.  Joe is dominating the Juneau Ave Fritos eating competition on the couch.  He claims he needs to bulk up for the upcoming cold winter. 

And now some pictures for you people who get headaches from too many words.
