The Busy Snow Bunny

Well, it's been awhile since we posted, and though I recognize that Chris has more entertaining writing, I can at least give a quick update and some pictures. We enjoyed our holiday break and Christmas, spending lots of time with family and some with friends. We stayed in KC, Chris took quite a bit of time off work, and it was very relaxing. Now we are back in the swing of things, and with our new years resolutions in full-force, we've been going to bed early, putting our dishes right into the dishwasher, and other exciting new things!

As for little Cami, she is growing up fast. She is running around all over the place, sometimes only napping for an hour during the day, and making us very tired (though she is going to bed earlier at night, so she gets plenty of rest)! Still, she is saying lots of new words and it is fun to see her learning so much each day. She has recently learned how to fold her arms during prayers & it is so cute when she reminds us as soon as we place her in the high chair. She still loves books & asks to be read to constantly ("bok, bok!" with whatever she wants in her hands), but her favorite thing is to watch a Little Einsteins video ("rocket" sometimes followed by "no, no!" - because I won't let her watch it as often as she'd like, she for a time grouped the two together), sigh. I like to think she just likes the music, but I don't like to see her staring zombie-like at the TV for too long. Still, the pat-pat and blast-off moves are cute.

It has snowed quite a bit this year, so she also has had a chance to try out her puffy pink snowsuit. She seems very warm in it, but can't walk very well, so after a few waddly steps, she kind of flops over on the ground & we have to pick her up. While she liked the snow okay, she really enjoyed the chance to chase the cat, something she doesn't get to do often. Again, due to her mobility he got away.

So that is about all for now. Oh yes, we also just passed the four-year marriage mark. Don't ask me how, but we both almost forgot! It was actually about 1 PM that day, and as I was taking down the Christmas tree I thought, "January 6th, kind of late to be taking down the tree... well, not really that late... then, isn't that someones birthday or something?...oh wow, it's our anniversary!" So I made a quick phone call, thanks Mom, and we still got to go out that night. I guess you could say the romance is gone - just kidding Chris! Well, I think that is it -Chris just got back from Pinewood Derby - hope all is well :).

Here Cami is, enjoying lounging in her car seat - indoors of course. I think she'll actually be sad when we get that one back in the car.

Here we are playing in the snow, or trying to at least.

Finally, Cami chasing the cat.
