Another holiday! A nice 3 day weekend for most of America. But Todd had to work. And I think we'll still do some school. Even though it is almost 10 and everyone is still in their pajamas!

We have been busy- to explain the lack-of-blog. :) Last Thursday Todd and I got a babysitter and joined some friends for a show at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez!! We went to see Kathy Griffin! She is so funny. Todd and I have been hooked on her since we started watching her show on Bravo "My Life on the D-List". It is hilarious! So we went to the Chumash, met some friends, had some buffet and delicious chocolate desserts, and saw the comedy show. As we were standing in line, we saw signs everywhere that said "You are being photographed!" They were taping for "D-List"!!!! So we kept trying to find the cameras!!! :) It was pretty fun.

Now that all the birthdays and holidays are over, we are trying to get back to normal life. The house is like a tornado hit it and the laundry is in piles!! I need to get out of holiday mode and get in to gear!! (But today is a holiday.....so.........)

And Emma is getting to be such a character! I realized that she will be 2 in 6 months! How is that possible? It seems like she was just born. And she has been such a funny stinker the past couple of months. It is really funny. She makes these faces and does the cutest stuff. Like last night. She kept saying "what's that?" and pointing to Todd's soda. "What's that?" I'd say "Daddy's" and she'd make this sad face and say "ohhhhhhhh" and then it would all play out again. We did it about 4 times before she just walked over and started drinking it- with the "I'll just go over and drink it face" to go with it. Funny. And she loves this giant pink headband I brought home for Bella and Abi. She puts it on everyday and walks around the house. She takes it in the car. It is really cute- I'll have to take a pic and post it. (Notice how I spelled Abi. She has started writing her name- but she can only get to ABI- which is pronounced like Abby, according to her. I guess that's how we'll spell it!! :) )
