Update...we're still alive!

I know I have been such a slacker! I haven't had much time to blog for a while. Now I have some time, and I really don't have much to blog about. But I decided that since I didn't send Christmas cards out this year, I would take some time to update everyone about what's going on with Monkey and I.

Monkey has continued to grow and grow and grow. At his last doctor appointment, he was off the charts on every measurement except head circumference. At 13 1/2 months, he ends this year with 8 teeth and two molars on the way. He is the tallest (and thickest) 1-year-old in our ward, and is constantly mistaken for a two or three-year-old (i'm not yet sure if that's a good or a bad thing). He has been walking for a couple months, and has taken to the sport of climbing. Anything that can support his weight is deemed good for climbing in his eyes. He's even been caught balancing on an appliance plug that was plugged into an outlet. He has started saying a couple words, but only the necessities; for everything else he just points and grunts.

I have been workng at the hospital this past year. I have just started looking for a new job, as there is no opportunities for advancement in my old position. I will be returning to school in 2008, and am preparing for that adventure. I have become quite the book worm this year, and enjoy it very much.

I am so thankful to my family (you!) for all they have done for us. We are so blessed to be a part of such a loving and supportive bunch. We love you all!

Now that I finally have some time, I will be catching up on blogs this week. I have missed so much!

We wish you all a happy New Year! Good luck with your goals!
