Still alive!

Ok, so much for updating this more often! I realized that over the holidays I completely let this go! Sorry about that!
Backing things up a bit...Thanksgiving was a nice time. Emelia and I headed down to VA to visit with Amy, Jimmy & the kids. Emelia & Owen had a WONDERFUL time together. It's so fun watching the two of them together. Even though they only see eachother a few times a year they just click. So, we spent the week down there and enjoyed our time. Next came Christmas. Now THAT was a fun time! Emelia really got into the holiday spirit. Santa, mommy & anyone else who would listen was told the only thing she really wanted was a dinosauer, thanks to Owen. Santa did a double take when she said that. Here she is all dressed in her "pretty" dress sitting on Santa's lap and when asked she told him! He looked at me with a question mark on his face. But Santa regrouped & did indeed bring her the favorite gift!

Today she went to work with me. Had quite a few clients stop in and she was the welcoming commitee! Made for both a fun and long day! Some who was supposed to take a nap didn't. I kept hearing from the back room..."Mommy, all done resting" That went on for about 1.5 hours. Finally I gave in & had her sit down and watch Little Mermaid on the portable DVD player I brought.

I can't believe she's going to be 4 in March! Time really is flying! Her teacher said yeaterday that she's finally coming out of her shell and talking non-stop at school and interacting with the other kids. When her teacher told her a few months back that she really didn't talk at school, I asked her if we were talking about Emelia. She trys to talk 24/7. Looking forward to her birthday & getting to have some time with her outside in the warmer weather!
