Getting back to Normal....

Well...I think Mike and I are finally over our high from our Mexico trip..We are already talking about the next trip (Vegas? San Fran?).

Abby is back in the swing of things. It took a couple of days to adjust back to the routine and daycare, etc... She is such a busy little girl! Abby does not take a break from playing, dancing, singing, coloring...it is GO, GO, GO!! Abby's favorite things to do lately are coloring/painting, playing music and/or singing (she loves her music class), cooking (with mommy or daddy or pretend) and playing horsey with her daddy (see pictures).
Another new adventure has been potty training. When we started introducing the potty a few months ago, she was very interested and then that faded. Now she is more interested than ever (even at daycare) and is going potty in on the big potty (wants nothing to do with the little potty chair) at least once a day. Abby gets so excited for herself..."Yay, Abby!!" she says. Everyday is a new word...and it is amazing how she picks up on the meanings. She doesn't just repeat everything we say, she knows what it is as soon as we tell her and then she has it the next time we ask. AWESOME!

Mike is back to traveling for work about once a week. His travel schedule was slow over the holidays, but has picked back up again. This leaves time for Abby and I to have our special time, which is always nice.

I have been busy at work with several large projects, trainings, planning for new policy changes and preparing for the next legislative session. Sounds boring to many...but I love it!

Until next time...
