I want our 2009 book to be complete, so every now and again, I need to do a general re-cap of our latest happenings.
1. Lucy has gone vertical. Our little one seems too little to walk. At least that's what people keep telling me as she toddles around everywhere. She is pretty fearless so far too; she heads right for stairs any chance she gets. I have tried to teach her to turn around to go down them, but she refuses. She wants to walk down them like every one else. I both admire and fear her courage. She loves her "da", saying what we say, Curious George, Elmo, tickling, dancing, the toilet (gross), and following Sabrina and me around all day long.
2. Sabrina had a field trip to the Lehi Hutchings Museum. I think we've seen more interesting artifacts at my parent's house, but the kids seemed to have a decent time. There was a tribute to Porter Rockwell there; I took a minute to tell Sabrina that this was her 5th great grandpa, to which her teacher piped in with, "Oh, well that explains where Sabrina gets it from." Thanks, Miss Megan. (I'm pretty sure she was kidding... pretty sure.) As for Sabrina this month, she digs drawing, dress ups, cooking with mom, Angelina Ballerina, reading stories, and still playing with kids.
3. Paul and I got to go with the Petersons (Dave and Amy) to the Jazz game and had a swimming time despite the loss to Oklahoma City. There was one intense moment in the game when out of frustration I accidentally hit the guy in front of us. (Amy I don't think I shared this with you.) My bad. Thanks Dave and Amy!! It was great to have an evening out.
4. Thanksgiving was great and solidified itself as my favorite holiday. We went to Shelley's this year, and we had a fantastic day.
5.I did Black Friday this year with Natalie. We laughed our heads off all morning long watching the spectacle that is this day. It's ridiculous.
7. The Blackhursts were doing a good deed by hanging out with me while Paul studied, and Baby Kate (who's not a baby any more) broke her foot while she and Sabrina jumped on the bed. Nice. Aish, will you ever forgive me?
6. I'll end this post with the Sabrina conversation of the week:
(Scene: At Costco pushing both girls in the cart)
Sabrina: Mom, this cart is like our carriage.
Me: Oh really. Are you a princess.
Sabrina: No, I'm Sabrina. Lucy is the princess.
Me: So you're just riding with her.
Sabrina: Uh huh.
Me: And I'm the driver.
Sabrina: No mom, you're the horse.
Glad to know where I stand. Happy Holidays!

Oh, Ricks. You're peanut butter cookies were payment enough (if there were actually any need for forgiveness). Kate and I ate all of them. Kate was especially touched by Subby's picture and card. She's reread it for days saying, "I love you Kate. Get better."
I love the picture of Sabrina with her classmates and the trilobite exhibit in the background. Grandpa George would be proud! Oh, and I'm glad to hear you're the horse. It gave me a good laugh.
Oh my horsey friend, I had no idea you hit someone at the game. You could have taken that to the grave if it weren't for your blog blabbing.
Linds, I realized just now that I don't have your phone number or e-mail to call and ask you...
Can I bring anything on Thursday? Treats? Food?
Let me know. 208-440-4394 or jeffersonanderica (at) gmail (dot) com
Hahaha, so funny. I love that it's so easy to pick Sabrina out among her classmates. Way to deck a stranger!
