So it has been a long time since I have blogged.....it has been busy in the Schalliol house. Back in October Scott tore his achilles tendon reliving his soccer days and had surgery in early November. He is recovery well, but it is a long process and will take close to a year until he is back to "normal", we hope! I was fighting some morning sickness from baby #3 and taking care of my "3" boys in the house. It was not easy being pregnant and having Scott unable to move around, but we made it through. The boys are growing so fast and have been so excited for Christmas this year.
On our Annual trip to see the Fashion Island Christmas tree we also visited Santa's house. Thankfully there were no tears this year, just two brave little boys ready to say "hi" to Santa.
A funny story from the evening was when Brandon and Blake finally got up to the front of the line to see Santa and Brandon decided he didn't want to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas.......so I quickly pushed him along and told him he just needed to sit on his lap for a picture and say hello. So little brother Blake lead the way and hopped right up onto Santa's lap. When Santa asked the boys what they wanted for Christmas of course Blake started with his list first and told Santa he wanted all of the animals in the world. Mcuh to Santa's surprise he said "okay, I will see what I can do" as he looked at me to say good luck with that one mom. Then it was Brandon's turn.....I sat and listen to see what he was going to say and then he looked at Santa like such a big boy and said "Santa, I will write you a letter". I couldn't help but laugh and think about how much each of them have matured over this past year and what big "little" boys they are.
