Professional pics
We have a friend who is a freelance photographer. He came over to take pics of the kids and I think they came out great! Unfortunately, Josiah didnt want to go anywhere near Ella for the pics, and didnt want to smile for his own...but they still came out great.
Here is a slideshow of the pics (If you click on the actual slideshow, you will be redirected to a page where you can see them larger)

Christmas 2007
We had our first NC Christmas and it was really nice! Even though we had no family here this year (Amy went up to NY) it was still a lot of fun! On Christmas Eve we went to Crystal & Elliot's house, friends that moved here from NY about 2 years before us. Crystal cooked an AMAZING meals and we ate, played games and had a small gift exchange! It was a lot of fun.
On Christmas day we opened our gifts and relaxed in the morning. Then we went to a Christmas open house where there was a large group of people from our church also. We just hung out, sang christmas carols and such...it was nice to be with such great people when your family is not around. That night, I made a Christmas dinner of meatloaf and baked potatoes (we had turkey and ham the night before!)
Here are some pictures of our little Christmas! Ella and Josiah racked up!!! Josiah got a big remote control train from us, a toddler songs cd, some books, a sippy cup, coloring books and crayons. Ella got a bunch of little toys and of course, clothes :). Uncle Richie and Aunt Kerry sent them a whole bunch of toys and books! I had to hide Ella's toys from Josiah because he wanted to play with all of them! Then Josiah's godfather, Tio Al and his wife, Pat, sent Josiah and Ella THE CUTEST pajamas! I LOVEEEE pajamas for the kids! My sister, Vicky, sent them outfits with matching patterns (so cute!) and my Aunt Linda and Uncle Charles sent Josiah a little train that he LOVES!!! He runs it around the house saying CHOO-CHOO! And...Christmas isnt over for them because my sister came back from NY and on Friday we are having our little Christmas on Friday so she can bring over the gifts my parents sent and the gifts she bought them...these are some spoiled kids!

Josiah is 2!!!!!!
I can not believe it!!!!!!!! My firstborn is 2! These past two years have flown by!
We didnt have a big party for him this year, but the four of us had a mini party and he still had a great time! He LOVES the little car we got him and wouldnt go to sleep that night! He really is such a good boy and we enjoy him so much!!!!!
He also got a whole bunch of balloons from Titi Amy, coloring books, play phones (all from Amy!), a cute outfit and beautiful card from Tio Al and Titi Pat, a really cute personalized book and CD from Grandma and Grandpa Banuchi (his name is worked into ever song)and the hit gift was three dancing penguins from Titi Vicky! He pressed the button so many times that I now know the song by heart! hahaha!
Here are some pics and a video: (he wont go anywhere NEAR Ella in pics, hence no pics of them together haha)
The famous wheel! He calls it "Siah's wheel!" hahaha
The dancing and singing penguins!
Balloons from Titi!

Kiddo news
Well I havent updated this bad boy in a while! Here's whats new with the kiddos!
Ella is getting so big so fast! She is nice and chubby and is generally a happy baby! She is starting to smile a lot and has been cooing too. Josiah really amuses her, she smiles at everything he does!
Josiah is sooo cute as well. He is talking up a storm, knows all his shapes, colors, numbers and is working on the alphabet. His new thing is singing. He sings a lor of songs and it is so cute! My personal favorite is when he sings his ABC's. It sounds like this "A, B, C, D, E, F, G...la la la la la, N, O , P...now I know my ABCs, next time know my ABC's" hahaha...too cute. He is also working on saying how to spell his name...it goes like this "J-O-S-E-A-B-H" hahaha close enough!!!!!
As far as Steven and I go, we are doing good. We have been house hunting but havent put a bid on anything yet. Hopefully soon :)
