Polar Express Date with Brooke
Tonight we took Brooke to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens for their polar express night. We got to do a craft, have hot cocoa and a treat, and then listen to a story before riding on the ‘train’ through the lights. We got a sitter as to not subject Alex to the 38 degree weather and so we decided to keep Brooke up past her bedtime and take her to dinner too.
Laura’s Birthday in December
In April AJ gave me a birthday present of taking a glass class at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio. However, at the time I was pregnant and thought that it was probably a bad idea for me to be anywhere near the hot house. So I decided to wait until after Alex was born to go to a class. They had a ‘blow your own ornament’ class so AJ and I took that class today. Here are the pictures of our process. The ornaments need a few days to cool and then we’ll update this page with the finished product.

Movie Date with Brooke
This morning at 9am there was a customer appreciation free movie sponsored by our realtor at our local eat in theater. Even though Brooke is still much too young to watch movies because it was free I decided to try it. We have watched 3 kid movies at home in 15-20 minute increments usually over 2 weeks or so. We are lucky to have a kiddo that is not too ‘sucked into’ TV yet. AJ was working so Brittney watched Alex while we were gone. They had donuts and juice before the movie and then popcorn and water during the movie. We watched ‘Penguins of Madagascar’. Brooke was excited at the beginning and enjoyed her snacks and watching the penguins initially. Brooke didn’t make it through the whole movie and was bored and wanted to leave 3/4 of the way through so we did. ‘All done penguin movie show!’ She was happy and ready “Brooke go home play with baby Aha!”
Alex Laughing
Alex laughed for the first time Monday night while AJ was at work. Yesterday he laughed repeatedly at AJ while he was pushing the stroller on our afternoon walk. Today I got a few giggles though mostly a lot of happy talking when he was looking at himself and me in the mirror. What a cutie!!
