News to me

Brinley would not go to bed last night so she finally joined us in our bed (which I don't mind because she's small, and sleeps without kicking or moving much at all really) about 10pm and the 3 of us are laying there quietly and she says "turn on the news".

Well, we didn't but here's the news...

We enjoyed spending time with family over Thanksgiving but would you believe I don't have any pictures to share?
I went to see New Moon with my mom and am sooo looking forward to the next one that I might have to just read the book because I'm not sure I can wait 6 months for Eclipse.
I went to a Matilda Jane trunk show the other night, new to me & I loved it!!! The clothes are too cute for words.

Bryce is working away, pitching in a lot around the house and preparing for his Half Ironman Triathlon in April.

Ben is doing great - loving school, loving Star Wars...in fact, his bedroom is getting a Star Wars makeover this week. And..drum roll please....he no longer wears a pull-up at night, YAY! I've been looking forward to that for a couple of years but some things cannot be rushed and it was a decision he made all his own.

Brinley's rebellion/attachment phase is improving. She has even asked to go back to gymnastics but I think we'll wait a bit longer ;)

Bowen went in for his 9 month check up and we discovered 3 things: He hasn't gained much weight, he has shrunk (an obvious measuring error, grr) and he has a double ear infection!! I felt so bad - I didn't have a clue. I've never had a baby with an ear infection so I assumed they cried and screamed...turns out they don't. Apparently they eat & sleep like normal. News to me.
