Wow, it’s been months since our last update. Things got crazy around here with hurricanes and such that I just got out of the routine of doing these. I’ll do my best to catch you up on everything. We’ve had vacations, hurricanes, a huge growth spurt, visitors from out of state (2 states, actually) and Aanika started school and goes two days a week. On top of that, we’ve got playgroup, playdates, Mommom’s functions with the MOMS Club (welcome committee chairmom) and the neighborhood women’s group (social coord.) and general fun days with Daddy when he’s home. Whew! That’s enough to keep anyone busy…and compared to other families, we’re not busy! Down here in Texas, we’re finding out that it’s all about ‘bigger and best’ and your kids have to be busy and occupied every day of the week. Thankfully, we deliberately keep ourselves from being too busy and are quite content with our nice peaceful family life!
Aanika is getting very tall, is learning sign language (at least 30 words already), and is smarter than a whip. She’s keeping us on our toes because she picks up on everything you say! She’s also developing a great sense of humor too. She was always quite funny, but now she makes jokes and teases and tries to pull the wool over your eyes with her tricks! Check out her sense of humor in the picture of her dinner plate....those are grapes in case you're wondering.
