Well, I have a little time to write because I spent all afternoon trying to get Hannah to take a nap and she finally feel asleep. This is the first nap she has taken all week! I figured out today that I have to stand at her door and make sure she is laying down, or she won't go to sleep. I am guessing all the other days she has just popped up out of bed the second I closed her door. I am just happy we are having this problem this week instead of last week when Brian was in France. Brian went to Cannes, France all last week for a conference. He gave two presentations to IBM European employees. I got to view a few of his pictures (or rather his boss's pictures), and his hotel view looked awesome. We are also racking up the frequent flyer miles! Thankfully Carla spent a few days with us while he was gone to help make his absence go faster. Carla went with me to get my eyebrows waxed for the first time. I was so nervous that they were going to take off all my eyebrows, but I really like how they came out. We also got to go out one night and we went to spin class one morning. It was so fun! Hannah is very busy these days (so busy she doesn't want to take her nap:)). She loves pre-school and talks about the kids in her class all the time. She can name all of them, and I often hear her talking about them in her bed. She also doesn't have time to eat very much, but she will stop for fruit snacks or cookies. The other thing is that she LOVES to sing. She can sing her ABC's, Annie, Jesus loves me, a few songs from the radio, Jingle Bells, Mary had a little lamb, Ba Ba Black Sheep, and a ton more. It is so precious to hear her little voice singing. I hope she grows up to really love singing. It is easy to want the best for your child- the best school, the best career, success, comfort, fashion, a good life, etc. (especially during troubling economic times) I was reminded today as I took a walk that wanting her to walk in God's ways is the best life that she can have. That should be my number 1 desire for her! That should be MY number 1 desire for myself! Well, we are all excited because Brian has all next week off. I hope it will be a time of refreshment for him. My parents and Franklin are coming to spend Thanksgiving with us and my aunt Anne will join us on Friday... oh yeah and I can't forget to mention that Poco is coming too:)
