Had to take away a TOY cell phone from Sophie the other night. We were trying to have family home evening and she was TEXTING in the middle of it. We would ask her to put it away, but then she would get it out and start up again. Brenna isn't even that bad...
Also we learned that night that Sophie should not be allowed to conduct FHE. It kind of put her on a bit of a power trip for the rest of the night. She made us all raise our hand if we wanted to speak at all. It was kind of funny for awhile, but it did start to get to be a little much.

Bad Dog!
It's been a rough few days around here with Daisy. We've noticed that she hasn't been scratching at the door to go outside late in the evening and early in the morning. On Sunday, I found a couple of spots in Sophie's room. I broke out our little carpet cleaner, but it didn't get out the yellow stains. I'm going to have to look for a stronger carpet detergent/spot remover. Then tonight, I found more spots down at the bottom of the stairs right outside of Amber's bedroom door. It looked like she's been going down there for several days.
It's been pretty cold lately - maybe she just doesn't want to brave the elements. We've also got quite a bit of snow - it's high enough that she doesn't have any clearance when she squats her rear down to do her business. Either way, she'd better get it figured out pretty quick!

What a great idea! It wouldn't let me leave a comment, though. It asks for a google account, which we don't have. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
Today is a holiday for me, but Ryan is at work in his new role as Lift Op. Supervisor! He has to go in really early, but will eventually go down to 4 days/week. I think he feels good about the promotion and I can tell that he simply loves it up there. He gets to snowboard more, for one thing!
We're all signed up for a birthing class at Providence in Hood River (where I'll have the baby). It's a 5 week class, starting on the 30th. My next dr. appt. is on Wednesday. I've come up with a whole list of questions this time! The more moms I talk to, the more questions I have! IToday I'll go visit a neighbor who had her baby there 2 weeks ago. I'm sure that she will have lots of info. for me. Our baby is sure a busy thing! Like clockwork: as soon as I lay down in bed and when I get in the car after work...sudden stillness and quiet. I can sometimes swear that I feel the movements from the outside, but it's so fleeting that Ryan hasn't caught one yet. Soon, I'm sure.
My correspondence was terrible this year--both in greetings and thank you's. So, thank you for the lovely gifts! I think we will have the best dressed baby around! I love my new scarf and gloves. My skin won't tolerate wool at all and hardly any material besides cotton, so it's perfect to be able to stay cuddly and warm!
I guess I better feed myself--this little one seems to be hungry! Love to you and Randy! ~Charlotte

Intro to blog
Hi to our family--I decided I would like to try a blog page for our family, so we could keep in touch and post pictures. I always miss you guys after the holidays, so thought maybe this would be a way we would keep up on what everybody else is doing. So hope it works. I am just learning about this blog thing, but I think we can all add to it and put pictures on it. So I will try.
Thanks to all who could come home for Christmas, it was really fun. Which is why now I am really missing Tyler and Janae because they couldn't be here. We are still pursuing the cruise idea, but only if everyone want to come, and it may just be too expensive to go at Christmas time. Either way, I was wondering if you could all come up for Dad's birthday this year--the big 60!! I thought I might have a big party here with a lot of his tax clients and friends from church. So think about that and let me know if that might work. Charlotte, hope you are feeling well--we are getting so excited. I have been working on a couple of baby quilts, and every time I go down and sew on them, I just get to excited I can hardly wait!!
So, if this blog works, let me know by posting something on it. Love, Mom
