Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, we've been all over the map and are soon to travel again. As much as I love visiting people and seeing new places, I'll not be sorry to stay home for longer than a week at a time! In our recent and upcoming itinerary we've been to my parents (twice for Reina and I), Snowshoe, WV for some skiing, and coming up: Williamsburg, VA for an EM Chiefs and families reunion.

Skiing was fun, but daunting for me as it was only my second attempt. By the second day I felt comfortable enough to have fun but not enough to try anything beyond the bunny slope. Bill's trying to convince me that we need our own equipment so I can practice more often. Although we didn't bring Reina (thanks to Nana and Grandpa) it was a nice low key trip with friends and lots of Trivial Pursuit, our favorite.

While we were trying not to break ourselves in the snow, Reina began taking multiple steps towards objects and people of desire. Not a confident walker yet, but well on her way. She also now points to things, can turn on the TV and absolutely refuses to be fed from a spoon. Her meals consist mostly of crackers, Cheerios, cheese and bits of turkey or chicken. Her ability to block a spoon from her face is impressive, not to mention frustrating to us. It's a good thing she's cute.

As usual, pictures are worth a thousand words...here you go:




New handmade hat and sweater...thanks Great-Aunt Norma! The runny nose was in its final stages at this point, thank goodness!



Big girl in her rocking chair at Nana and Grandpa's showing ALL her teeth. Cheeser.

Scoot over Frosty

Deer right outside our condo window at Snowshoe...sorry Jordan.



Frozen eyebrows. Brrrrrr.

Detour at Cabela's. The SWAT team's waterboy got in some target practice.
