Yay for blogs!

This is my first experience with a blog, but I think it’s a really cool idea to keep a good connection with friends and family that we’re away from.

My mom’s visiting us right now, which is allowing me to work all day with James, which is something I haven’t been able to do, since day care is SOOOO expensive here. Here’s a pic of Nora waiting for Grandma to come:

From Nora 11-9-08 to 11-23-08

She was so happy to see her (Nora and Mom are interchangeable in that phrase)! We’re excited to have Mom here for Thanksgiving. It’ll make the time fly by until we get to come back to Elkhart for Christmas and New Years! I’m so excited to see everyone, and for everyone to see how big Nora’s gotten. Will write more later…gotta get back to work!

Toy Overload

Well, Grandma Ellie is here, and she’s giving Nora all of her holiday gifts early. We spent the day at Babies R Us looking at toys, high chairs, and such.

Nora is going to be a spoiled little baby.

She got a new high chair, a stand-and-play music center, xylophone, some maracas, a bucket of shaped blocks with holes the blocks fit in, and a BUNCH of books. The books we got her, but she came home with quite a haul.

It’s been a long day.

Starting a new thing

I decided to make Mandy, Nora and I a little blog. That way, we can update family and friends, post pictures, and more. I don’t have a lot to say right now, but I’ll be adding more shortly and getting Mandy set up to post separately.

Ellie, Mandy’s mom and Nora’s Grandma came in for a visit today. She’ll be here for two weeks. Nora is DELIGHTED by her peculiar rendition of “Old MacDonald.”

She was giggling quite a bit. Hopefully we’ll have a lot of fun over the Thanksgiving holiday.
