Before we turn out the lights...

Before we turn out the lights...

I thought I'd post a video of our outdoor lights this year. It hard to believe the holidays have come and gone. The trees are packed and back in the attic. The animated critters that were scattered for Tamara's enjoyment are taking a very long nap until Santa comes again. Not an easy thing to explain to a pre-schooler but I think she gets it?

So it's been a busy year so far. Daddy's Birthday was last week. We had a quiet dinner at home. Tamara and I made him a Birthday Cake... which I must say was excellent. Really... no kidding.. it was THAT good.

The weather in NJ has been less then cooperative. Annoying actually. Just enough snow to keep us from doing / going where we want.. when we want. I complain quietly as I know many of you live in areas that have been crippled by mass amounts of snow, ice and rain. I hope you're all OK. I only mention our weather because it has put a crimp in our daily routine. Cancelled appointments and pre-school. Delayed errands, interfered with naps and play dates. Oh how I miss the warmer weather. Think Spring! Think Spring!

I only have a few minutes now.. days after I last wrote on this particular post. A few minutes before I have to run back to preschool and pick Tamara up. Today is her First Show and Tell. She took her Elmo Alive with her. He sings, dances and tells jokes. I thought and she agreed that it was the right Christmas gift to bring.. so Elmo could do most of the talking for her. She's progressing speech wise. We got "I love you" out of her last week as well as "I'll help" but she's a very stubborn little thing. She'll only speak on her terms. Grrr. We're thinking we may have to do some speech therapy soon? Perhaps a professional boost?

OK... much more to come. We're all doing great just very busy and chilly. Who was in charge of the heat in the North East? Hey... turn it up please. ;o)
