ATTICUS TURNS ONE!

My little boy is ONE year old!! We celebrated tonight with a little cake for Atticus - just to see him make a mess! Grandma Adah and Aunt Danah came over to celebrate! The big party is next week on Greta's birthday!

Career Move for Brooke

I am officially a pharmacy manager once again. I have slowly been picking up more and more days at work. The reason: Dusty and I want to build a rather large addition onto our house this summer. We want to build what we want (our dream house adding to our existing!) instead of cutting any corners. This will be a lot easier to achieve if I work more than 16 hours a week. It was nice while it lasted, but now it's back to the bench. A position opened in Dixon for a pharmacy manager and I accepted. Excited? yes......will I miss Greta and Atticus? yes, yes yes!

Everything seems to be falling into place though. Our neighbor (Pastor's wife) is going to watch them for us at our house while I am working. I could not think of anything better. Dusty will be home with them as well. I am shooting for three very long days versus four normal days. This way I will be able to see them every night to bed as well as be home with them for 4 days. I'll know Tuesday for sure!

Greta's First Frosty!

Greta's first Frosty!

It was the cutest and saddest thing ever. Once Frosty was built, she started singing him the song, "Frosty.....the snowman....." Then she looked over at us with puppy dog eyes and asked why he was not singing. She continued to sing as well as pack more snow on him, informing us that this would help him to sing. She just waited and waited. It broke my heart.

She truly thought he would sing or move and continued to watch him through the window during the day. I guess watching the animated Frosty the Snowman movie had more of an impact than I thought it would.

Kalahari - Wisconsin Dells

Our recent trip to the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells. We went with the Carmichaels and Genslers. 6 adults and 7 kids under 5 years old - all in one suite! We had a great time hanging out at the waterpark all day. I would not say a relaxing vacation....but it was still a great time. It's nice to look out the windows and see snow everywhere while you're swimming!

Atticus and his big old smile!

I can't believe I am posting a picture of me in a swimsuit, however I am mostly blocked by my cute kids - so it's OK!

I love this picture - especially with the shadow.

Daddy and Atticus - my little pale boys! Gosh, Dusty needs a tan!

First attempt!

This is my first attempt at creating a blog....so please be patient as I learn this whole NEW process. Greta and Atticus are growing up (sob sob) SO fast and changing more and more everyday. Greta will be 3 in February and Atticus will be 1 on the 31st of January. It's amazing how fast one year goes by. I hope this will be a place where friends and family can keep up with what is going on in The Horner House! Stay tuned.......more to follow!
