Welcome Mom!!!

My mom decided to enter the big exciting world of the internet. She got a sweet laptop yesterday. She says she needed one so that she could read the blogs. Way to go mom. We're always happy to have new readers!!

Now We're in Trouble

Ellie decided (Way too Early) that she is ready to be a big girl. Today at nap time, Zoë came running out to let us know that Ellie was standing on the end of her bed. We weren't sure what she meant, but rushed in to check in out. Yep, Ellie had both feet up on the railings. She was pretty proud of herself. We put her back in the crib and left. We watched her through the crack in the door, and in about 2 seconds she was back up on the railings. Steve got out the screw driver and took the side off. I swear Zoë did this way too early too. She was in a big girl bed at 21 months (also because of climbing). Ellie is only 19 months. I know so many people whose kids stayed in their cribs until 3 or later. How did I end up with the climbers. Life would be so much easier if she just stayed in the crib. Now, we'll be battling with bed time for a while. I wasn't planning on this at all. We may have to separate the girls again. I can't imagine all the fun they'd have with both of them able to run around.

Off to Arizona

On Saturday we got together with Steve's family at Dave and Jen's house to say good bye to Chuck and Karen. They left on Sunday morning for another warm and sunny winter in Arizona. We also celebrated Karen's birthday. Happy Birthday, Karen!!

Don't forget to vote today.
Zoë is one excited voter. She pulled the sign out of the yard and was marching up and down the side walk. Now, look at my little niece Lil. She takes her politics very seriously. Sorry, I should have gotten a pic of Ellie with her McCain sign. What do you think of Barack and Sarah? Check out those moves!!

More Halloween Fun!!

On Halloween Day the three grandaughters vistited Grandpa Bill at work. Thermo King had an awesome Halloween Party. Imagine hundreds of cubicles and trick-or-treating. The girls had a blast! We even met Sarah Palin.

Halloween was such a busy day. We also had the Lakeville Panther's football game in the evening. Sadly, their season came to an end after a great game against Lakeville South. Good job Uncle Mike! We look forward to next season.
