Goodness it seems like things around here have been so busy. Yesterday we took Alli to the MTC. Sometimes I just wonder why they do that to families. It is a good thing, but you sit there and wait for the movie to start and they are showing all of the "family it's about time" ads and well some of them, just made me tear up a little. I guess it is a good thing, you go and you realize yet again how important your family is to you! It was great! Her farewell was last week, and we came home with a new pet. She said it was our housewarming gift. Alli had a beta fish named hootie. (like hootie and the blow fish). So now I have a fish in a bowl on my kitchen counter. Annika always wants to just sit on the counter and look at the fish. We feed him every morning, and she likes to try and drop pieces of her cereal in there for him.
The other day, I was kinda board in the morning, so Annika and I made her a necklace out of fruit loops. She loves wearing necklaces, and anything that is long she will put it over her head and try to wear it around like a necklace. It was a lot of fun. She hasn't figured out that she can eat the fruit loops off of it yet, so she might be wearing this necklace around for quite some time.
When we moved into our house I was afraid of Annika and the stairs. It was only a couple of days after we moved in and she had figured it all out. I guess now going down the stairs backwards is boaring because she trys to go down them standing up and forward. She has figured out that when she gets to the banister she can hold on to them and walk down. What a stinker, she just likes to get my heart pumping, and I guess she thinks she needs to be bigger! She is growing up way to fast.
Brian is enjoying his new job, and we are enjoying our new house, and getting to know more people in our neighborhood.
