Movin' up in the world

Here we go- I now have a blog. I haven't decided whether I'll tell anybody about it yet. I'm thinking it will just be for me and whoever happens upon it.

Christmas is fast approaching. With less than 2 weeks to go, we've only purchased 3 presents and have a lot of baking to do. Chris is starting the big Nutcracker schedule, so we don't see much of each other these days. He's spending lots of time with Amelia during the day, which is good. I get her in the evenings and put her to bed.

Speaking of Amelia, she's pretty awesome. She certainly has a mind of her own, but I think it's a good thing. Her new thing today was to try to get me to stand up by pulling on my shirt, then taking my hand to show me where she wanted to go. It was very cute. I have no idea how many words she says, but it's a lot.

I guess that's all I'll say for today. I have some things to do around here to make it nice for Chris to come home to. He very nicely cut up all the veggies and got out the ingredients for me to make chili tonight. I don't think I would have made it otherwise. It's just too hard with Amelia. Amelia is awesome, but Chris is pretty awesome, too. I love them both very much.
