It's February?

Wow. Time flies!
It feels like Christmas was just last week. Crazy! Well, we are still in New Mexico! Woohoo. Maybe we'll set a new record for living in the same place for more than 6 months. (we still have a ways to go for that one.) Anyway, we like it so far. We are beginning to make friends and explore our surroundings. New Mexico is a beautiful state. Best sunsets I've ever seen!
I recently took a babysitting job. I watch a 10 month old girl, Chloe. I love it. She's such an easy baby and Grey loves to play with her. She just doesn't understand why Chloe can't move as fast as she can. I have to admit, I love having a little one in the house again. It's so fun. Ok, ok, it's nice to have a little extra cash too.
I started potty training Grey last week. It's goin ok. She's finally understanding when she needs to go, we just can't seem to make it there fast enough. But, we'll get it soon enough. She's growing up so fast. She likes to pick out her own clothes in the morning. She thinks she has to wear a "dess" (dress) everyday. She loves to play with her dolls. It's the cutest thing. She rocks them, shooshes them, lays them in their bed, bathes them. She will be a great big sister someday. She also loves to dance around and sing songs. I can't wait to put her in a little dance class. She loves cereal for breakfast, lunch and she'd probably eat it for dinner to if I'd let her. She's very choosy! I don't mind though. I like that she has her own opinion.....sometimes.
Ryan works 4 days a week. He enjoys what he does. He also likes to work on his bike and he can't wait to ride it as soon as it warms up around here. He's taken it out a few times and then regretted it once he got back home. Way too cold for that sort of thing! Ryan loves playin with Grey. They are so funny together. He's trying to get her interested in toy cars and trucks. He sets up all the race tracks and they just have so much fun racing their cars and jumping them and whatever else it is they do.
All in all, we are doin great. We are so thankful to be where we are in our lives right now and to have such great friends and family.
I hope you all are having a great year so far!
