Thomas actually was bugging me last night about blogging... shocker! So here I am! :) Well life continues to move at an ever-increasing speed for us up here in Idaho! Summer is definitely gone, and we are gearing up for winter. We are holed up in the bedroom today because our big room is too cold without the heater on. I brought Miss Audrey's new piano from wonderful grandparents into our room and I am keeping warm under the covers. It's a pretty good deal! She loves that piano so much. She plays songs and turns the pages and I don't care if she bangs on this one too hard! And my toes get to stay warm. Even better!
Thomas is ever-busy with school, and I think we've adjusted to the busy-ness a new schedule has brought. I have been called into the cub scouts as a Webelos leader, which has kept me busy learning new things about. I also was called on to the Enrichment board, which brings my total number of callings to 3. Pretty normal for this ward, I'm told. I only have one voice lesson I'm playing for so far, and she doesn't have to do a jury which is super nice.
Audrey turned a year old this month, and she is just so cute. She is a super walker/runner/faller, is learning to imitate lots of words we say (see ya, hi, dadeee, yeah, cracker, etc) and is learning how to be sassy. She knows she isn't supposed to use hard things to bang on the piano bench, so she will take a toy and walk over to the bench and look around at me, as if to say "hey Mom, look at me... I'm about to do something naughty!" Then she slowly lowers the toy to touch the bench, watching my reaction all the time. If I say "no" then she grins and does it again. Sometimes she will walk over to me and give me the toy nicely, but sometimes she just is ornery. It's cute, but annoying. Mostly annoying. But she is sure cute.
We are so excited to go to AZ for Christmas! It seems so much closer now that it's freezing outside. We will be down the 18th through the 30th, so give us a call if you wanna do something fun/see us!
Sorry- just short for now because Audrey has a short attention span... and she smells like something might be leaking from her diaper regions.
ahhahah cute Audrey! We need to see you guys!
ReplyDeleteEnder does about the same thing. If I say "no," he does the naughty deed again to make sure that's what I'm talking about...and then ONE more time just to get it out of his system. He's actually quite obedient. It's pretty funny to see the struggle there while he wants so badly to be naughty and wants so badly to not get in trouble. What a sweetheart.
He and Audrey make a good team!
*who gets paid to make up these word verifications? I want that job.
thanks for the update Megan, I've been wondering how things were going with you guys. I wish I could see Audrey walking! I bet it's super cute. Yay for her birthday, give her a kiss for us!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely post a video of Audrey walking! We miss you guys! It looks like we'll be getting to Idaho a few days before you leave for Arizona so we'll have to come by!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be here for all of the Christmas season, so it would be fun to see you while you're here.
ReplyDeleteQait- They are so cute when they are naughty and know it... why is that?! It was so fun to watch Ender and Audrey play the other day!
ReplyDeleteLali- Thanks! I love reading your blog and keeping up with what's going on with you guys! Hope all went well with your move and you are settled in all right!
Andrea- We miss you guys! We'd love to see you before we leave for AZ. We just barely got a Firewire card/cord for our video camera so I will try to post some video sometime in the near future! There is one on my Facebook that Thomas did one night.
Heidi- We would LOVE to see as many friends as we can while we are down for Christmas- we are thinking about planning something but we will have to let you know! Hope you and baby are doing well!
