Disney Princesses

We did something brave today . . . we took Veronica to her very first Disney On Ice Show - Disney Princesses. Oh Boy. And we thought she was a prima donna BEFORE we went. Seriously, she had a good time, but spent a lot of time covering her face. All the witches scared her. And Goofy. Goofy scared her - go figure.

We've been keeping busy, mostly working and crossing our fingers that our house in GA sells soon. We hate to think about letting it go, I think there's a part of us that wonders if we'll ever go back - we really, really miss our neighbors. But the fact of the matter right now is that we can't live with my sister forever - we're really in need of our own space - and we can't afford that in the DC area until the house sells.

It's also a wee bit early and I know I haven't told many people, so this might be a shock to some of you. (It sure as heck was to me!!) Nate gave me another Christmas present - it appears as though Veronica is going to be a big sister. Completely unexpected, unplanned, etc. We had given up and were certain that V would be an only child.

Well, I think that's enough news for everyone today. I'm craving spicy foods - gotta go find some Thai or Mexican. . .

Veronica Visits Grandma and Grandpa

Well, we had our doubts, but Grandma and Grandpa seem to be holding up well under the pressure. Veronica is keeping them on their toes, but they have the luxury of a 6-dog and 3-cat buffer to keep the little tyke busy. Veronica is really having a blast and mommy and daddy will have a pretty hard time taking her away from Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Zach and all her new toys (Hairy, Bruiser, Whiskers, Zam, Polar, Tick, Bob, Izzy, and Catalpa). Not so sure how well mommy will hold up in her absence. Daddy's one advantage is that he's got plenty of practice by now, but this will be interesting. We will be so happy to get back to the mainland to be with our baby.
