Alex has started protesting loudly when our dog steals her food - in the middle of her little dance she decided to put the dog in her place, saying "stop it doggie." Since Halloween we've discovered Facebook so i apologize that I haven't kept up with the website, as I've been wasting my time on that addicition instead! In other news, I broke my finger chasing Alex down the bleachers at Jess's basketball game, that was embarassing AND painful. We are tremendously excited about our new pick for President and think he will ignite the country in a way we've not seen or known since Kennedy. Michael has made huge progress at the house and we now have walls - yippee!!!!!! Happy Holidays everyone and may the New Year bring peace to all.

Can't get this Barney song out of my head!

Halloween

Alex was a pumpkin princess for Halloween. She cried at the first few houses we visited for Trick or Treat. After a while though she figured out she was getting good stuff each time so she quickly adjusted and marched up to every house saying "more" - we have to work on her manners clearly! Grandma and Grandad visited from England and gave Alex her first pigtails - I remember my Mum pulling at my hair every day to make it look nice when i was a kid. How she found time while working I'll never know because I'm lucky if I even brush Alex's hair! So they had fun with that, and Alex pulled those darn pigtails out every day! She looked so grown up though, it makes me sad to see her becoming a real toddler, she talks non-stop!
