Life is moving on.. quick!

We are apparently slacking in staying updated on our blog. As a wonderful excuse.. I have been working hard on a big case study for my one PT class that I am taking this spring. And Scott has been working his tail off reading books for seminary and trying to make a living.

Last weekend we had a good time hanging out with Rusty and Cheryl. They drove up from Little Rock for a quick weekend. Here is picture of Rusty "getting Bella". We do this often saying "i'm gonna get you..." and she get's all excited as we procede to kiss all over her. She gets a kick out of it!

And here is a fun pic of Cheryl and Bella playing. (and also a view of the messy play area)

One thing they left behind was a cool horse for Bella to play on! She is going to love it as she gets older. It bounces and rocks. She is already having fun with it.

And another pics of Bella playing today. She loves to smile for the camera.

I love Bella's new reaching capabilities. She is constantly reaching for anything in sight right now. If we are sitting at the table, she will grab whatever is in reach, so we are starting to be more careful with knives, glasses of water, and table cloths. Here is a picture of her reaching for a froggy way up high in the jumper.

On Wednesday we head to Missouri to make the famous chocolate covered strawberries for Valentines. It is Bella's first Valentines experience, so we will take it easy on her and not make her work too hard. Actually, Bella will get to chill with her cousins all day while Scott and I run the berries through. It is always an intense time of working, but we have lots of fun memories from it. It is a family tradition ever since I can remember. Hopefully we will get some good pics. And if you are in Columbia, make sure you stop by the Candy Factory and get your berries!!! If you are in Lexington.. maybe you will be lucky enough and we'll bring some back :) But make sure and let us know if you like white or milk chocolate!!
