Bartlett Breakdown: December 2008

I have neglected our blog long enough! I'm always thinking that theres something else I should be doing rather than hopping on the computer! I'm so bad at keeping this thing updated!
Well, the Holiday is quickly approaching and I'm still trying to get a Christmas card put together (once again another computer project) and I'm still trying to finish editing photos from a wedding I shot Thanksgiving weekend.....(computer)! I've got to get a move on here!The kids are doing great! Cash is just doing so great! Sleeping and eating well and giving us thee cutest smiles every time! Sophia is quite excited for Santa to come this year. She has been watching the Tim Allen "Santa Claus" movies and can't wait to leave him some milk and cookies! When she see's the reindeer fly through the sky with Santas sleigh she comments "Santas giving presents to boys and girls.........he's so sweet". Spencer and I always tell her that Cash is "so sweet", so I think she's starting to put that phrase into all of her sentences now. She cracks us up every day, just a week ago she walked in the bathroom, stood on the scale and said "Umm, 40 pounds". Then when you ask her what time it is, she tells you its "40 o'clock", I think she has a thing for the number 40.Spencers shifts have all been extended an hour cause of the holidays, he's at work for 10 hour days. It will be nice to have him home for 3 straight days when Christmas gets here!
I've recently hopped back on at gap part time. I can't believe I worked there for 5 years before I quit and now I'm back. I only work Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I just wanted a chance to do some "grown up interacting" once in a while. Spencer was so supportive of me doing something for me, and this is what I wanted to do. So I'm loving getting my hands into some fun visual merchandising and seeing those markdowns! :)Now that the basement is done, I had the treat of going out for my birthday to shop for all my wall decor. SO EXCITED! I have a family picture collage wall and a wall of clocks! Yes thank you Jen Coberly for the sweet clock collage idea. I ran it by Spencer and he loved it!It's going to be bittersweet at Christmas this year! Especially for Sophi.....her fun Uncle Brett and Aunt Jessica are leaving this friday before Christmas to head back to school. I don't think she quite understands that they're leaving for quite a while. She loves them so much and talks about them at least once a day. We're really going to miss you guys, its been so much fun to have family in town for awhile, I dont know how we'll do without you now! We love you!The bright side for Christmas is that we've got Courtney and Jordan coming!!! Finally an upside to this previous downer! When we talk to Sophia about somebody visiting for Christmas, she knows just exactly who! "Courtney and Jordan got married!" she tells us. When Spencer put on his suit jacket for church yesterday, she asked him "Dad are you gunna get married?" I think since its been summer and Spencer only wore his suitcoat to weddings......now thats its winter and he throws it on, Sophia thinks he's headed to a wedding!

Hope your all having a good start to the Holiday! Heres a pic from the wedding I did!
