Happy Thanksgiving Y'all! Brie is doing great and she's starting to understand holiday stuff. I am teaching her turkey, snow man, Santa, Reindeer, etc. I am going a little bonkers for her 2nd Christmas. I am getting her a play kitchen so of course I'm busy buying wooden food, utensils, pots and pans, etc! And then I am getting her a little pink battery operated 4-wheel ride on toy. So it will be fun seeing her enjoy the holidays. The biggest challenge is just getting all the Christmas stuff down and lights up on the house. That's when I really start to miss Brian and his helpfulness. But thats what friends and neighbors are for :)

20 Month Birthday

20 months ago a little monkey named Brie arrived and its a pleasure and honor to watch her grow into a little girl! Brie is doing great. She's in a new preschool as of Nov 1st. She's with a small group that includes my friend Sharal's daughter Samantha and she's already been cast in a Christmas play. Brie is really doing well with her words, she can point out almost everything in a book and is now associating colors with things (i.e. yellow bus!) and a few weeks ago we went to Uncle John's house and we think she developed a little crush on Cousin JJ because she's going around kissing his picture frame. Oh boy!! I gotta long road ahead of me if she's already doing that :)
