Okay so maybe I'm not the biggest blogger but here's a little update on what we've been up to. The holidays were so much fun with a little one- it brought back the "magic" of Christmas. The New Year was full of skiing, eating and speed scrabble with the fam. It was so fun to have everyone together! Now Lee's back in school and I am working on another book tour for my boss's "The Five Lessons for Women" book. It's been crazy busy around here; we've had the basement flood and drains clog (joys of being a homeowner!), I've been hooked on watching The Bachelor and am glad Idol is back :), we had fun getting together with friends and it was sad to see Melissa and family go (hope you are settling well in AZ), we're getting excited for our trip next month to Brazil (we couldn't resist- the tickets were at such a good price, but I'm nervous for the 15 hour plane ride with a toddler- any tips?!!), and of course we've been having fun with Maile. She is in nursery now at church and loves it. I'm trying to break her in to playing with friends at our house- everything they grab Maile gives a big "Noooo!" and trys to whack them. (we're working on that one). But mostly I've just enjoyed the fact that she is communicating so much with me. Some of her favorite words right now are "Bye, water, juice, choo-choo (when she wants to watch Thomas the Train), "doggy, No!, more" and the list goes on and on. She knows what she wants when she wants it- but I actually prefer it that way. I am loving 19 months! Lee says when she knows how to change diapers we'll have another one. :) So that may take awhile.....
Hope all is well with you. Can't wait to catch up on what everyone has been doing!
Maile looooved to say "Ssssanta!"
