American Idol, Here I Come

Settling Back into the Mundane

We're done traveling for a little while. Whew... I am so thankful that we have the opportunity to go places, but am also glad to be at home. Updates from the home front:

Bean is exerting her two-ness. We hear "Mine," "No Mommy," and "Bean Do" A LOT. She's also exploring the art of procrastination at bedtime. We sing 2 songs before bed... We'll start one, get half way through, and she'll insist on another song: "No, Mommy, STOP. Sing Donald."

She likes to choose her outfits. Take a gander at a few she's left the house in recently.






She loves these leggings.

Squeaker is sitting up and eating, par for the course for a 6-month old. Her smiles and laughs are a delight. And she's finally settled into a very good sleep routine--down at 7-7:30 and up around 6.

More Vacation?

Yes, a month has passed, and we're on vacation again (sort of). My company's annual trip is this weekend in Vail, and we brought both girls. It's been so long since I've blogged in large part because I've responsible for a lot of the logistics for this trip, so the last 4 weeks have been very busy.

Husband's #2 reason for bringing Bean here was to get her on skis. And he did! Husband, Bean, Uncle Chris, and Uncle Chris' dog hit the very teeny slopes today. Check it out!
