Merry Christmas Card!

Merry Christmas from the Vanderwalker's! I do have cards I could send out, but lets be honest, way too much work at this point. So, just to keep up with technology, my Christmas card is on the world wide web...cards next year if you're lucky. The dynamic duo is up to no good as usual.

Mom is busy resting, eating, and counting down the days till she is not pregnant anymore (I mean until we recieve the wonderful gift of life into our family).
Dad is working and busy relieving mom when she needs it, which is more often than not. He has a sad face because this was the last time we went to Disneyland for a while. Like 13 days in a year hasn't been enough!
This little sassy one is busy going potty on the toilet...she's doing well but we aren't completely out of the woods in my book. She also loves to pose for pictures and wrestle with her brother.
This little boy is the same as always. I'm convinced his curiosity will never be satisfied. He so kindly sprayed half of my perfume (don't be surprised that I own perfume...it was a gift from Tim:) on his blankets and filled the house with the concentrated scent of Flowers. Thanks Anderson:) He's also avoided a few public exposure charges recently as he felt free to whip it out and relieve himself at the TOP of the bleachers at a high school football game (facing the crowd no less) and at his cousin's flag football game. Hopefully he's gotten that out of his system. Andy never ceases to amaze me.
We are hanging with my parents until Tim can find a job...either with his current company in Cali or somewhere else. Sorry AZ, we've grown apart. I know most people LOVE it here but we are ready for a change. The baby (most likely Ivy Mae) will be here Jan. 6th, unless Santa brings her earlier so we can get the tax benefits:) We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!

It's our funeral


We've decided to take the plunge and potty train Minnie. To me, there are too many good things

to doing it earlier than later: it's done before the baby comes, it's done before we can hopefully move (sometime soon hopefully), no 2 babies in diapers, and the Minnie Mouse undies are too cute. I can't resist. The way I look at it, we have to either do this now, or in 6 months. Either way, she has to figure it out. Wish us luck!
