Winter Update


It seems like I don't post much during the winter, probably cause there's not much going on. We had a few days of warmer weather last week (40's), which was awesome! All the snow had melted, and I was hoping that the worst was over. But, I should have known better...we had another storm today and now everything is covered in snow...AGAIN! Oh well.

Here are a few cute pics of Kaylie over the last month. She has been doing a little bit better the last two weeks being around other people, and actually went to nursery for the whole time today. First time ever! I have been bribing her all week that if she could be a happy girl (no crying) in nursery, she would get a sucker. Maybe that was the trick! :)

Just a quick update (more for me so I can remember what she's doing nowadays): Kaylie is learning to draw pictures and write a few things. She can draw a sun the best, and can also write a lower case "i", and the numbers 1 and 10. She also tries to draw a flower, a stick figure person, and circles. Kaylie is pretty good at recognizing words now too. She can tell me what the following words are when I write them: Kaylie, Mom, Dad, hi, bye, no, yes, up, down, cow, cat, and pig. And she can sometimes count to 40, but not always. :)

A few things she has started saying recently:
-When it is time to go anywhere, I ask Kaylie if she is ready to go, and she says, "Not yet, I'm too little."
-When she doesn't want to do something, she says "Kaylie's sad", and starts pouting on the floor.
-To Mark: "It's nice to see you" haha


Kaylie: "I LOVE this stuff!" (the guacamole)

I keep complaining its too cold here, I think 50...so I will think of you next time and then stop, ha ha (complaining)

Such a cute little girl. I wish we were around so that we could get to know our cute little niece. She is growing up sooooo fast. Are you taking any trips to California??? Any job offers yet??? Maybe in Tucson? We miss you.
