OK, I'm impressed....

Last night Katya opened the binder of DVDs, took out Finding Nemo, put it in the DVD player, and turned on the TV. When she got tired of watching that one, she took it out, put it back, and put in Monsters Inc. When she was done, she put that one back and turned the TV off.

This weekend we took down Xmas and rearranged the living room. We got 2 rockers from Ikea - boy are they comfy! I've got the same cold that Rain had, so it has been a long weekend. Now we're starting to plan a trip to Paragon Park next month to do some 4 wheeling... It's about time, I'm going through withdrawal.

It is a fun week. Rain has bronchitis so she is home from work sick. Work has been hell, but the first week of the year always is. Katya is doing real well. She is starting to tell us when she has to go pee now so it won't be too much longer that she will be in diapers. Woohoo!

Happy New Year!

This weekend went OK. Katya stayed up till after midnight with the rest of the kids. We had a pretty good party with some of Rain's family. We did the Xmas thing with Rain's sister too.

Scary.. the Tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean has killed 114,000 people. I'm sure that number will go up quite a bit before this is all over with.

tsunamis.....

"The water went back, back, back, so far away, and everyone wondered what it was — a full moon or what? Then we saw the wave come, and we ran," said Katri Seppanen, who was in Thailand, on Phuket island's popular Patong beach.

 

I say - why run? You won't outrun the tidal wave, you might as well stay and enjoy the view.....

Well, Xmas is here & gone now. Katya loved all her presents, though when we started she wasn't sure how to react. She stopped opening stuff about a third of the way through her stuff. We got her way too much stuff I think. By the time we went to my parents house, she wanted to open every gift for herself, even if it wasn't hers. Santa was good to everyone htis year. I got a new scanner that does negatives too. Now I am archiving all my photos on the computer. It has buttons on the front for documents, photos, negatives... Makes life much easier on the scannning side of things. Rain got a scrapbooking starter kit, and I went through all the photos we have and they are in one box - looks like about 2000 pictures or so - about 25lb worth. I told her I wanted to help with the scrap booking. I think it is a good idea to do.

 

Well it snowed last night - less than an inch, just enough to make a mess. Bummer.... It was supposed to be 2-4 originally. I am looking forward to Katya's first snow storm.
