Finally Some Time to Breath!

Well we made it!! Our musical has closed and I must say it was a decent success!!! We didn't sell out, but we came pretty darn close several nights!! The cast had me crying completely several times, and not necessarily because of what their characters were doing, but because of their amazing talent to pull off such a wonderful performance!  We got some wonderful reviews and hopefully some patron who will come back when they hear it's a production by Spotlight!

Since then our lives have pretty much gone back to normal. 

Ellie has been picking up words left and right.  She's really great at saying "No", "Go", and "Don't"!  She's still signing and learning new signs as well.  It really has been so great communicating with her through sign.  I would suggest it with any and every one!  Her teething has been really difficult.  She still only has 5 teeth.  I'm actually really happy she has at least 5!  And they have been coming in really odd too, she has her 4 front teeth and a molar, and another molar is working it's way out.  My child is already trying to do things in her own way.  She is also very interested in dressing herself these days.  She prefers to go into MY closet and put on any shirt, tank top or dress I have that she seems to like.  It's actually really funny!!

James is starting to get busy at work again, which is always nice for us!  Although when they were slow the did talk about updating our kitchen for us.  We want to remodel our kitchen so bad, and we have so many great ideas for it, I can't wait until we finally can go through with it.

My work has been very up and down.  The holidays have made it pretty slow but we are gearing up for Sundance so I have lots of projects and random issues I have to take care.  It's been quite exciting!

My youngest sister Cheyenne is due to have her daughter January 3rd, but they seem to be wanting to rush having her so badly.  I think they want the tax write off.  Trying to rush delivery always scares me.  She's also so young I know she's healthy enough to let her body do it on her own.  I don't know, every pregnancy is different and she has a right to do it her own way.  I just worry the doctor is trying to rush her into something for his own benefit and she's just going along with it.

I also found out my other younger sister is going to have a baby as well.  She will be due in July and I pray to God it's not messed up.  She hasn't been the nicest to her body so I'm hoping this baby will be a good thing and put her back on track.

Hopefully this weekend we will finally get out Christmas decorations up!  If James would get off the computer for a little while and help me figure out where to put things, I think we may actually do it! Here are some Christmas photo's we took at Target. So that's us so far.  If I remember I will update again soon.  Thanks all!!

Just James and I hanging out by a fake tree....

She got caught opening presents, just like her Auntie Alexis!
