A few weeks ago, when Charlie was able to walk, but not willing to walk, I thought it would be a great idea to get him some squeaky shoes -- I figured that the squeak would motivate him to walk, rather than crawl. Well now he's a fulltime walker and his squeaky shoes just arrived. We may be disabling the squeakers faster than I anticipated...but it was pretty cute for the first few minutes!

Christmas cards
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, actually, it’s not (Damian went to work in shorts and a t-shirt and I think it hit 80 degrees yesterday!), but we’re getting into the Christmas sprit anyway. We’re even being super daring and we’re putting up a Christmas tree on Thursday – we’ll see which kiddo strips it of ornaments and/or knocks it over first! There are lots of things that I’m looking forward to (seeing our UK family, taking the kids to look at Christmas lights, listening to Christmas music on the radio, etc.), but one of my favorite things about this time of year is finding little treasures in our mailbox every day…not gifts (although we love those too, of course), but Christmas cards! I love them! I love seeing pictures of family members and friends whom we haven’t seen in ages. I love posting them throughout the house and pulling out Christmas cards from years past. Just love it!
This year, I found out about a fantastic deal (thanks mydfwmommy.com and Hillary!) – Shutterfly is giving bloggers 50 free Christmas cards! You just have to sign up at http://bit.ly/sfly2010. The hardest part is deciding which card to order – there are so many fantastic designs to choose from! Luckily, you can narrow down the options by size, color, designer, etc. You can also save your card and come back to it later – handy when your hubby won’t sit still long enough to look through all of the options! Now I can just show him the 10 (yes, 10!) cards that I’ve designed and hopefully between the two of us, we’ll decide on one. I love being able to show more than one picture: http://www.shutterfly.com/ssc/viewPreview.sfly?fid=e3a62285696cf858328a6b68bbcad23c5625c431369d420afd12f45bbad520eada27fa73774b895d587981ff14e26afc. But then again, I love the simplicity of having just one photo: http://www.shutterfly.com/ssc/viewPreview.sfly?fid=4ae2a182b683c578328a6b68bbcad23c5625c431369d420afd12f45bbad520eada27fa73774b895d7386f5d652e9b5f7 Even if we can decide on how many pictures to use, we still have over 100 fabulous designs to choose from: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery. At this rate, maybe we should start looking at Valentine’s Day cards instead!
