The kids are amazing! Honestly, I think they are the best. Noah is GROWING and my baby is suddenly not so babyish. At 7 months our guy is well over 20lbs, is the proud owner of 1 bottom tooth, is crawling all over the house and can feed himself “puffs” and bananas. He is starting to pull Eli down when Eli takes away a favorite toy, but mostly the boys get along famously. Eli is in a league all his own. I have never seen a toddler with as much personality. He is simply a star. He loves playing with Noah (especially in Noah’s bed) and wearing Kami’s very glamorous pink sunglasses. Kami is blossoming into a beautiful young lady. She is brilliant and creative and probably one of the kindest people I have met. I hope the t’ween years are good to her.
John is hard at work this tax season. The days are becoming longer, but we are a month down and two to go. There is light at the end of the tunnel. He, so I am told, brews a fine beer and on the weekends is increasingly popular with the man folk. He is also an incredible father. The second Eli hears the garage door go up, “heyo daddy!” and Kam adores him. Noah likes his quiet time with dad, and I think dad enjoys it too. John has also been staying with the kids as my businesses continue to grow. He has an uncanny ability to keep the kids calm while I am away, or at least keep the chaos contained.
Me, well, I have been a busy girl. Berry Fancy still continues to be a pleasant surprise. For a business that happened by accident, things have worked out rather well. I am working on a bridal campaign that I am hoping to push this Spring…I am using the word hoping…we will see. Usborne is also booming. I am on my road to supervisor, and hopefully that will afford me the opportunity to sit back for a minute. I have been booking home shows and book fairs left and right. In retail, too much business is a good problem to have, but problem none the less. That being said, I love to talk about my books. I believe we have the best on the market. I would love to tell you more…just ask ;)
So, I would say our start to 2009 has been a blessing. In an economic climate that isn’t doing very well, we seem to be doing OK.
Enjoy the pictures and video…I think it sums up the events in the new year.
