still no pictures

I guess that a post with no pictures is better than no post at all! I will have to add pictures later! Wren is now 9 months old and I don't know where the time has gone! She is such a cutie pie and we love her so much!! She has finally learned how to crawl and she is so BUSY! always on the move and always getting into things!! She loves the vacuum and LOVES to bathe!! She has figured out that she can move around in the bathtub also and thinks that is pretty awesome! the one thing that she does not like is that she cannot pull herself to a standing position while in the tub! Every time she tries it she falls and then she is soooo angry yet she tries it every time she is in the tub! It is pretty cute I think! Christmas was a lot of fun but I am glad that it is over! We spent several days before Christmas Day going over to moms so that we could clean and organize so that there would be room for all of us to stay there. All of the kids were there and because Grandma Aldridge got sick, she ended up spending Christmas with us instead of going up to Montana to spend the holidays with the Hogge's. All of the kids that live in town except for Scott spent Christmas Eve at mom and dad's and Drew and Jaxon were up at 3 a.m. to see if Santa Claus had arrived! Boy had he ever!!! Everyone else got up at 8 a.m. and after some wait, we finally started opening presents. Jeremiah and I had decided that we were not going to do anything for each other this year and thankfully I had purchased stuff for Wren while I was in Disneyland and Black Friday 2008. The only things that we bought for her this year were 2 Little Einstein video's a Yo Gabba Gabba video and some pajamas. It was fun for us to be able to wrap presents for her and put "TO: Wren FROM: Mom and Dad". We then stayed there all the next week until 1/2/10!!! We are CRAZY!!! It was fun and sometimes stressful but it was nice to be around family and play games, have conversation and just BE together!
I was sick on Christmas Day and Wren got a little sick while we were at moms and Jeremiah got sick the day before we came home! He is still not feeling well and has not been to work this week because he has been feeling so terrible. Other than that, life has been great and we have been able to get all of our Christmas stuff put up, the laundry done and put away and the living room back to normal. Now I just need to work on the kitchen and bathroom and I will feel really great about life!
