Holidaze in Review

As my last post suggested, life got a little crazy back in November and December but on the heels of 2 weeks "off" I'm slowing catching up. We've had more visitors, more milestones and more adventures in Kansas. Sadly, we weren't able to make it to see some very important people but we'll just have to look forward to seeing them in 2010! Ellen, Camille missed you! Aunt Caroline, we missed your delicious Christmas meal! Betsy, we missed seeing Minnie and I especially missed seeing Camille with another pooch, more her size. On the bright side, we had a great time in Lawrence with Gran and Granddad with all his toys! Eric and I even managed to make it to Yellow Sub -- yummy as ever. Thanks to everyone for making our holiday spirits bright!

As I type this, Eric is valiantly trying to give Camille bites of peas and after 2 spoonfuls, it's "ACHOOO!" And out come the peas. The behaviorist in me is saying, "we don't want to make this an aversive experience so maybe we should just wait until after the surgery (which by the way, has been scheduled for January 28th!) to increase the chance we'll have it be a positive experience!" The mom in me is saying, "how cute, he really is able to keep her face clean!" By her smiles and sqeals, she seems to be enjoying herself.

The following are a smorgasbord of fun!

From Grandma & Grandpa's visit in November:


Fun with Daddy at the Wheelers for Thanksgiving -- thanks again for such a great time!
