the last two months...in short

Okay.... I'm not letting the guilt get me down. Just letting it get to me enough to get a post up. Things are great (but COLD) here in MN. Did I hear you say, "What have you been up to?" I'm so glad you asked! We have done so much! Let's see if I can run down memory lane real quick.

1. Well, I made it to a full year of staying home!! And I'll have to say that it has been fun, albeit exhausting!
2. Ben and I also made it to our 10th anniversary.... don't act so surprised! We celebrated it kidless in downtown Minneapolis - what a blast!
3. We've had a very cold and snowy winter which means we've done a lot of sledding alternated with huddling inside with hot chocolate. Madelyn likes the being outside part and Greyson has decided that he much rather stay inside.
4. We flew down south for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time seeing Ben's extended family and meeting my first nephew, Sam!
5. My parents and sister came up for Christmas and it was hard to see them go... it seems that right as we're all reconnecting then someone has to leave.
6. Greyson is absolutely attached to his ukelele that we got him for his birthday! He hardly ever puts it down! He has made up his own hand sign -struming his fingers along the other hand's knuckles - to say that he wants to play it (along with saying "o-rahn ee-TAR" - orange guitar). Lately he has started "singing" to his playing too.
7. Madelyn is still my little dress-up queen. It is amazing! Now we have put her in dance class too so we now have a princess who wears ballet shoes, twirls, is learning her positions, and sings a very cute song with the words, "I love you, a bushel and a peck...." Very cute!

FYI - If I can find the time and gumption, I'll probably come back and do dedicated posts to some of these. We'll see...
