With this crazy warm weather outside, you wouldn’t know it was December. And yet Christmas is less than two weeks away. The kids are back to their normal schedules after our trip to Hong Kong. Mommy is back to work and it’s crazy year end plus budget updates and dealing with crazy owners. But the look on their faces when I come home every day makes it all worth it. Sebastien is as talkative as ever. Lately he has taken to grabbing things in front of him and has perfected rolling from his back to his tummy. Can’t leave him alone anymore!

Our little boy is ready for his new car seat. I think he likes it! And Miss Chloe needs a new coat. I know. This one is just too big on her! I already bought one, it’s on it’s way. But I love the hat (and she kept it on!). Remember, this is the hat from the video where she kept taking it off when she was a baby…

My daughter, much like her mother, refuses to smile in pictures. It’s so frustrating because Sebastien always smiles for the camera, but not my stubborn daughter. That’s karma for you, I tell you. I asked for it, I know. This is the closest I got to a smile – this half side smirk. Sigh.

And of course, the grandparents…

And here are the kids playing together. Soon they’ll be running around the house!
