On Vacation


Today starts our week of vacation! I think we're all going to enjoy sleeping in, being lazy and eating lots of great food this week. We've also brought up all the Christmas decorations, so we'll likely be all decorated for Christmas before the end of the week too! On our to do list, we hope to drive into Chicago and take a walk around the Macy's Christmas windows, have lunch and enjoy the city for a day. Ed's working on cabinetry so I guess that leaves me to tackle the totes of Christmas decorations. Thanksgiving dinner is not at my house this year, so it will be a nice break... but oh so sad not to have the yummy leftovers (which I don't need anyhow ;)).

Last Friday Josie turned 14 months old. I'm so fascinated by how quickly she's picking things up, or I should say, comprehending things. She mimics our actions and babbles in word strings that sound almost audible. Her 14th month was largely defined by the sickness that hit our house, and her the hardest. It seemed to last forever.... and by the end of it she'd ended up with her first ear infection and a first round of antibiotics. Luckily that took care of it and she's back to her happy self, which makes us ever so appreciative of our good health. Mimi did a good job of introducing the spoon and Josie is having great success getting food on the spoon and then into her mouth. Ahhh... so proud :)
